Information about FDIC Insurance
Your deposits at UBS Bank and other banks participating in UBS cash sweep programs (collectively, “Program Banks”), except as noted below, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor for each insurable ownership capacity in which the deposit is held. The Program Banks in UBS cash sweep programs are described in the applicable sections of this page. Please note that FDIC deposit insurance only covers the failure of an insured bank. UBS is not an FDIC-insured bank. Certain conditions must be satisfied for deposit insurance coverage to pass through to clients’ funds placed by UBS at FDIC-insured banks. Balances in deposit accounts at UBS Bank and other Program Banks are not eligible for protection by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

Exclusion from UBS Cash Sweep Programs:
Certain UBS accounts, such as 403(b) plans, qualified pooled plans, and corporate cash management accounts, are not eligible for the cash sweep programs and instead sweep into a money market fund. Sweeps in money market funds are covered by the SIPC. Money market fund sweeps are not FDIC-insured, not a deposit, and may lose value.
