Security

Security of clients’ assets is assured as a result of separate custodial arrangements. LDIC’s custodians provide securities and cash processing services on behalf of our clients. Under these arrangements the custodians hold all cash and securities in trust, which means the Bank holds all your securities and cash in a segregated account in your name. LDIC has portfolio management authorization of your account only. Clients may select which custodian will hold their assets in trust.

Our custodians are members of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (IDA) and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). Therefore, our clients are protected against losses of securities and cash balances.

CIPF covers customers’ losses of securities and cash balances, which may result from the insolvency of a Member firm. The limit placed by CIPF on the coverage of a customer’s general account is $1,000,000 for losses related to securities and cash balances. A general account can be cash, margin, short sale, options, futures, foreign currency and the proportionate interest of a joint or shared ownership account and are combined and treated as one general account.

Separate Accounts or groups of similar accounts are treated as if they belong to separate people and are entitled to a maximum of $1,000,000. Groups include Registered Retirement Plans and Registered Education Savings Plan. Joint Accounts are treated as Separate Accounts if the spouse does not have a General Account and the proportional interest of a spouse is eligible for the full limit of $1,000,000 and more. Please request for a CIPF brochure for further detail regarding this fund.\
