Answer:
$500,000 USD
Explanation:
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation or SIPC for short, protects against the loss of cash and securities (such as stocks and bonds) up to a limit of $500,000 USD. This cash and assets must be held in a SIPC-member brokerage firm as part of a customer's account and the $500,000 is the limit for both cash and assets, with cash alone having a limit of $250,000 per account owner in the case that the brokerage falls into financial trouble.
