About the SIPC:
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a non-profit organization established by the Congress of the United States to insure client accounts against the failure of member brokerage firms. You can obtain more information by visiting http://www.sipc.org.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How is my customer's account protected with "excess SIPC" coverage?
A: Customer accounts are protected in the event that SIPC limits are exhausted. The additional insurance becomes effective after the implementation of SIPC coverage. The coverage is in place to protect the customer in the event of a theft, misplacement, destruction, burglary, embezzlement or abstraction of customer securities. It does not protect the customer from declining changes in market value.
Q: What triggers SIPC and "excess SIPC" coverage?
A: Three things must happen for SIPC and "excess SIPC" coverage to be triggered:
There is a financial failure and a liquidation of the carrying Broker Dealer.
Securities/Cash are missing from an account.
SIPC pays each client in accordance with their pro-rated share of the loss, up to $500,000 per account (of which $250,000 may be cash).

• Bonds
If you wish to purchase or sell a bond (or any other debt security), please call and speak to a broker at (800) 221-3154 or 212-349-9700.
• Broker Assisted Trade
Call 800-221-3154 or 212-349-9700 to speak to a broker.
• Cash Account Trading Rules
Within a brokerage account, securities transactions are segregated by account type for regulatory and accounting purposes. Prior to placing an order in a cash account (type 1), the investor is expected to be able to pay for the transaction in full.
Using Unsettled Funds:
Upon the sale of a stock, it takes 2 business days for the funds from that sale to settle (with options it is 1 business day). Prior to the settlement of that sale, an investor may use the proceeds to purchase another security, provided that the new security purchased is not sold prior to the previous sale settling.
Unsettled Funds Examples:
Example A
1. Starting settled cash balance is $1000
2. May 1: Buy XYZ for $1000
3. May 2: Sell XYZ for $1000 (trade settles May 4)
4. May 4 10AM: Buy ABC for $1000
5. May 4 2PM: Sell ABC for $1000
(This sequence is permitted, however the $1000 sale proceeds from the May 4th sale of ABC may not be re-used until settlement day).
Example B
1. Starting cash balance is $0
2. May 1: Sell 100 XYZ for $1000 (settles May 3)
3. Cash balance is now $1000
4. May 2 10AM: Buy 100 ABC for $1000
5. May 2 12PM: Sell 100 ABC (Violation)
(This is a Free Riding Violation because the stock sold on May 2nd was purchased with funds that do not settle until May 3rd. If the investor would have waited until May 3rd to sell ABC stock, a violation would not have been issued)
For additional examples of using unsettled funds, see the SEC website page "Trading in Cash Accounts" at this url: https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/ib_cashaccounts.
If a position is purchased and sold in a cash account without being fully paid for, it is a violation called "free riding". This may result in the trades which caused the violation to be "busted" (both the purchase and sale being removed from the account), with any resultant loss from those trades being charged to your account. Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board then requires the account to be restricted for 90 Days. If this occurs, you will need to place any orders via phone, and will only be allowed to use settled funds for the next 90 days.

• Cost Basis Rule Implementation (effective 2011)
IRS regulations require Broker-Dealers to report cost basis on the Form 1099B for equities acquired after January 1, 2011. First In First Out (FIFO) is the default method, whereby lots with the earliest acquisition date are sold first.
If you choose not to use the FIFO method, and would like to designate a different method or specific lots purchased versus on a specific sale (known in the industry as a "versus purchase"), please email info@yorksec.com prior to settlement date.
Here is an example:
- Trade Date- Monday Feb 1st 2017: Bought 100 XYZ at $21
- Trade Date- Tuesday Feb 2nd 2017: Bought 100 XYZ at $22
- Trade Date- Wednesday Feb 3rd 2017 (Settlement Date Friday Feb 5th 2017): Sold 100 XYZ at $23
After the sale execution, if you decide to match the sale against the Feb 2nd purchase (instead of the default FIFO Feb 1st lot), you would need to indicate your updated lot selection by 12PM eastern time on settlement date Feb 5th, by emailing or calling York.
Note: Emails received after 12PM eastern time on settlment date will be attempted for processing on a best efforts basis.
If you have further questions, please email info@yorksec.com.
