Cash deposited in our FDIC Insured Bank Deposit Program is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an independent agency created by the U.S. Congress in 1933 to help maintain public confidence in the nation’s financial system. One of its primary duties is to insure deposits in banks and thrift institutions. If you would like more information about FDIC insurance, please visit www.fdic.gov or call the FDIC Consumer Hotline at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342).
Folio Investments, Inc., doing business as Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions, is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). A brochure explaining the coverage provided by SIPC is available on SIPC’s website at www.sipc.org. In addition to SIPC coverage, we have purchased supplemental customer securities insurance. Neither SIPC nor the supplemental insurance coverage protect against losses resulting from a decline in the market value of securities.

We follow e-mail security guidelines designed to avoid e-mail fraud, and there are also simple precautions you can take to protect your clients. Internet fraud is often committed via e-mail, so be careful when communicating information electronically. We cannot stress how important it is to not send email with confidential account information.
Internet phishing scams ask you to verify sensitive customer information through e-mail or through fake websites made to look like your financial institution. To protect yourself against these scams, never reply to any e-mail purporting to be from us asking for personal account information, and never log-in to our website by following the link in an email as the link in an email may be taking you to a spoofed site. We will not include a link to log in to our site from any email that we send. In addition, you can view a website’s digital certificate to verify its identity. To do so, click on the small company logo to the left of the URL, the padlock, or the key icons in the address bar. This action should display a digital certificate that confirms encryption and provides the identity of the website. Check the certificate to ensure the web address matches the address on the certificate, the certificate is signed by a trusted certificate authority, and the date is current. Do not log into an account from any website if you’re unable to verify any of these items.
