4 THE RAYMOND JAMES ADVANTAGE Account Protection ASSETS HELD WITHIN A RAYMOND JAMES ACCOUNT ARE PROTECTED IN THREE WAYS. The financial strength of Raymond James. Raymond James & Associates is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). An explanatory brochure is available upon request, at sipc.org or by calling Raymond James has purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd s, a London-based firm. Excess SIPC is fully protected by the Lloyd s trust funds and Lloyd s Central Fund. The additional protection currently provided has an aggregate firm limit of $750 million, including a sub-limit of $1.9 million per customer for cash above basic SIPC for the wrongful abstraction of customer funds. Account protection applies when a SIPC-member firm fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against market fluctuations. 4
