When you invest with Vest, all your investments are made through a broker that is regulated and supervised by entities like FINRA.
All securities trading is conducted through Northbound Securities LLC, a subsidiary of Vest. Northbound Securities LLC is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), the U.S. institution responsible for regulating the trading of stocks, securities options, security futures, and corporate bonds in the U.S. market. You can check the background of Northbound Securities LLC on FINRA's BrokerCheck.
Additionally, Northbound Securities LLC is a member of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation), which means that the securities in your account are protected up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for cash claims).
