Safety of Deposited Cash and Property

Protection accorded money or other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions in futures vary, particularly in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the recipient FCM. The extent to which you may be able to recover your money or property may be governed by specific legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which had been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.
