Independent Account Custodians

In order to provide safety and transparency, we recommend that our clients select one of two independent custodians to hold their securities; Charles Schwab or Fidelity Investments. Each custodian sends clients complete account statements on a monthly basis and provides web access to customer accounts.

Like other financial institutions, Fidelity and Schwab are members of various regulatory and industry organizations. These organizations provide a variety of investor protections via governmental and stock exchange regulations as well as insurance provided by the SIPC. In addition, both have supplemental policies to cover excess losses.
