Raymond James Cash Sweep Programs

Client Interest Program

CIP is a short-term alternative for funds that are awaiting investment. (Raymond James separates all CIP funds held for the exclusive benefit of clients, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.)

We typically place CIP funds in overnight repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities or deposited in qualifying trust and/or cash accounts with major U.S. banks. CIP balances are included in the coverage provided by SIPC* and excess SIPC.*

*Raymond James & Associates is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $100,000 for claims for cash). An explanatory brochure is available upon request, at sipc.org or by calling 202-371-8300.

Raymond James has purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s, a London-based firm. Excess SIPC is fully protected by the Lloyd’s trust funds and Lloyd’s Central Fund. The additional protection currently provided has an aggregate firm limit of $750 million, including a sub-limit of $1.9 million per customer for cash above basic SIPC for the wrongful abstraction of customer funds.

Account protection applies when a SIPC-member firm fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against market fluctuations.
