Is my account protected against market volatility?

No, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) will only protect a customer's securities and funds if the brokerage firm fails, and does not protect against a decline in the market value of customers' funds or securities. Additionally, investors should be aware that investments are subject to market risk; accordingly, neither CCII nor Pershing, LLC can protect against losses that may occur from market volatility and/or changes in the market value of investments.



What is a broker-dealer?

Any individual or firm in the business of buying and selling securities for itself and others. Broker-dealers must register with the SEC and are also members of the NASD and SIPC. When acting as a broker, a broker-dealer executes orders on behalf of his/her client. When acting as a dealer, a broker-dealer executes trades for his/her firm's own account. Securities bought for the firm's own account may be sold to clients or other firms, or become a part of the firm's holdings.



What is a clearing firm?

A clearing firm is an organization that works with the exchanges to handle confirmation, delivery and settlement of transactions. Such corporations play a key role in ensuring that executed trades are settled within a specified period of time and in an efficient manner. They are also called a clearing corporation or clearing house.



Does CCII handle the execution of my trades directly?

No, execution and clearing support for CCII is performed by Pershing, LLC, a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. For more than half a century, the Pershing name has been synonymous with high-quality trade executions. Pershing processes over 600,000 trades daily and is repeatedly ranked #1 for U.S. government securities clearance.



How does CCII safeguard my privacy and confidentiality?

Safeguarding your privacy is a high priority for CCII. We have stringent confidentiality policies in place and have implemented strict technological security to ensure the integrity and safety of our clients' data.



Is there a minimum amount I need to invest to open an account?

There is no minimum amount needed to open an account with CCII; however, certain ProCash Plus Accounts require minimum balances to open and maintain.



How can I purchase investments?

Once you open an account and entitlement is obtained, you will receive a user id and password for Net-Ex Client, a Pershing site. Purchase and sale orders may be placed on-line through Net-Ex Client. Orders may also be placed over the telephone or in person with the broker of record.



When does an investment purchase need to be paid for?

Orders will not be processed until your account has the necessary funds available to cover the order. If you have signed a margin agreement, you may utilize margin financing for any shortfall in available funds to effect the purchase.



How soon after an investment sale will I have access to the proceeds?

Settlement in most stock and bond transactions is Trade Date plus three business days.
