CFII provides the tools for individuals who are comfortable making their own investment decisions. As a Discount Broker, we do not give advice or stock recommendations. Rather, our company makes available a variety of financial products and services to meet your investment needs. 

Securities in customer accounts carried by CFII are well protected.  J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. serves as our Clearing Firm and is custodian for all cash and securities.  CFII and J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. are members of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation), which was created by Congress to protect customers of securities brokers and dealers and to promote public confidence in the US securities markets. The protection provided by SIPC is relevant only in the event the broker-dealer that carries a customer's account becomes insolvent and is liquidated. SIPC protects accounts against such a shortfall for up to $500,000 per account (of which up to $100,000 may be for cash claims).  A document made available by J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. that discusses their protection of client assets is available here and also on the webpage http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/jpmorgan/investbk/solutions/fixedincome/primebrokerage.  If the SIPC Fund proves insufficient to satisfy customers' claims, SIPC can draw upon a $1 billion line of credit that it has with the SEC, which, in turn borrows from the US Treasury. Of course, neither the SIPC nor J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. protect accounts against losses from the rise or fall in market value of your investments.

We are also members of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII).  AAII is a comprehensive on-line guide to investing, developed to assist individuals in becoming effective managers of their own assets.
