Money Market Mutual Funds are not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Instead, they are subject to Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") coverage when held in a brokerage account. The limit of SIPC protection is $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash; for more information about SIPC coverage visit
Go to third-party website SIPC popup. For more information about money market mutual funds, refer to the
Mutual Fund Investing Brochure.
Merrill is not a bank and FDIC deposit insurance only covers the failure of an FDIC-insured bank.
