Investor-protection schemes
Statutory schemes in these jurisdictions generally work within the limits below.
United States · SIPC
Coverage generally up to $500,000, including up to $250,000 in cash.
United Kingdom · FSCS
Compensation limit of £85,000 per client.
Singapore · SDIC
SGD 75,000 per depositor.
Switzerland and the EEA
Deposit insurance or investor compensation commonly up to CHF 100,000 or EUR 20,000, depending on the asset.
Safekeeping of assets
Liberum invest keeps committees for risk, compliance, audit, and remuneration, in the same pattern used by regulated investment firms.
Liberum invest does not take part in statutory depositor or investor compensation schemes that pay out in insolvency, such as a national deposit-guarantee scheme or the U.S. SIPC. Asset protection is organised along Swiss financial legislation (FinSA, FinIA, AMLA) and comparable standards where the company does business.
Client money and instruments — shares, ETFs, bonds, and derivatives — are kept apart from the company’s own assets and held with custodians and clearing organisations.
Events this framework is aimed at
These are operational events, not a state payout in bankruptcy.
Market stress
Extreme volatility.
Access
Temporary loss of market access or a settlement delay.
Third parties

Operations

The priority is to restore and return client assets. Where that cannot be done in full, compensation may be considered up to EUR 20,000 per investor at current market value. This is an internal safeguard, not a statutory insurance scheme.
