"The broker-dealer must disclose to the customer (in the special custody agreement or otherwise) that the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) takes the position that, in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the broker-dealer the securities held in the special custody account will be part of the estate of the broker-dealer and included in the pool of customer property available to satisfy the claims of alt customers of the broker-dealer on a pro rata basis.”
