When investing in US stocks from India, one question matters: How protected is your money?
At Vested, protection comes from four key layers:
1. DIRECT SIPC PROTECTION
- Vested’s US broker-dealer, VF Securities, is a direct SIPC member.
- Eligible accounts are protected up to $500,000, including $250,000 for cash claims.
2. REGULATED IN TWO COUNTRIES
- US: Registered with the SEC and a FINRA member.
- India: GIFT City entities registered with IFSCA.
3. MULTIPLE ACCOUNT SECURITY LAYERS
- Two-factor authentication.
- OTP verification before trading.
- Device and IP monitoring.
- Automated security alerts.
4. CONTINUOUS MONITORING
- Suspicious transaction monitoring.
- Technology infrastructure checks.
- Regular third-party security audits by CERT-In empanelled vendors.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY
No financial institution can eliminate every risk. But multiple layers of investor protection, regulatory oversight and security controls can help safeguard your investments.
One important distinction: SIPC protection covers eligible missing securities and cash in case of brokerage failure, not market losses.
