FDIC covers traditional deposit accounts up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, but does not cover stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
FDIC is designed for bank deposits, not investment market risks.

SIPC excludes futures contracts and fixed annuities, and does not cover market losses.
SIPC only replaces missing cash and securities resulting from broker-dealer insolvency, not market declines or non-security products.
