The Federally Insured Cash Account (FICA) is a program RMR introduced to expand on the existing cash options available to you. FICA is a series of insured deposit accounts that are electronically linked together which eliminates the uncertainty related to money market mutual fund reform. Deposits in FICA® are liquid, earning same day credit on purchases and providing next day liquidity on redemptions, with no investor commingling, transaction fees or redemption gates. Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, deposits in FICA® have no price volatility, credit, or market risk. FICA® provides a competitive yield spread over treasury and government money market funds and direct government securities.
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a nonprofit membership corporation that was created by federal statute in 1970. Unlike the FDIC, SIPC does not provide blanket coverage. Instead, SIPC protects customers of SIPC-member broker-dealers if the firm fails financially. Coverage is up to $500,000 per customer for all accounts at the same institution, including a maximum of $250,000 for cash. SIPC does not protect investors if the value of their investments falls. To learn more about SIPC Coverage, please see our Blog post.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is a regulatory organization for all securities firms doing business in the United States, which includes over 4,000 brokerage firms and approximately 650,000 registered securities representatives. Created in July 2007 through the consolidation of National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the regulatory functions of the New York Stock Exchange, FINRA is dedicated to investor protection and market integrity through effective regulation and compliance services. www.FINRA.org
FINRA’s scope encompasses nearly every aspect of the securities business: Registering and educating industry participants; examining securities firms; writing rules; enforcing those rules and federal securities laws; informing and educating the investing public; providing trade reporting and other industry utilities; and administering the largest dispute resolution forum for investors and registered firms. It also performs market regulation under contract for the NASDAQ Stock Market, the American Stock Exchange, the International Securities Exchange, and the Chicago Climate Exchange.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a large independent agency of the United States federal government that was created following the stock market crash in the 1920s to protect investors and the national banking system. Much like FINRA the SEC is a regulatory organization whose primary responsibilities are enforcing the federal securities laws, proposing securities rules, and regulating the securities industry. The SEC is the primary regulator for RMR’s advisory business.
