General securities transactions executed with Centaurus Financial, Inc. are cleared through Pershing LLC, a BNY Securities Group Company and subsidiary of The Bank of New York, member FINRA and SIPC. Accounts are protected for the net equity of securities positions and cash in the account. Of that total, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) provides $500,000 of net equity protection, including $100,000 for claims for cash awaiting reinvestment (SIPC protection). Pershing provides the additional protection (Excess SIPC) on terms similar to SIPC for account net equity in excess of $500,000 through a commercial insurer. 
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 losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments.
