SIPC protects against the loss of client securities up to a total of $500,000 (of which $250,000 may be in cash) per client in each separate capacity. Money market funds are considered to be securities for SIPC purposes. SIPC does not cover market losses, and it does not cover certain types of investments such as commodity and futures contracts, currency and investment contracts (such as limited partnerships), fixed annuity contracts, physical commodities, and foreign currency.
In general, account protection limits are per single client, even though a client may maintain several different accounts. However, when a client holds accounts in separate capacities (for example, single account, joint account or trustee account), each of these accounts may be protected up to the specific amounts.

Order Routing: Velox Clearing LLC (“Velox”), does not route “non-directed” customer order flow. All routing decisions are made by Velox’s clients. Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 11Ac1-6, all broker‐dealers that route customer orders in equity and option securities are required to make publicly available quarterly reports that disclose the venues to which it routes "non‐directed" orders in covered securities. Velox is exempt from this requirement.
Payment for Order Flow: Broker Dealers are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to disclose their policies regarding receipt of “payment for order flow.” Velox does not negotiate payment for order flow. As stated above under “Order Routing”, Velox clients self-direct their orders and are responsible for all of their own routing and order flow decisions. If Velox receives any “cost savings” or “rate benefits” during its normal business, these will be disclosed to the customer. These savings or benefits may be agreed to be shared by the customer and Velox.
