Your financial needs are complex and require special care. A key role as your fiduciary is ensuring we consistently reevaluate our businesses processes and partners to offer you the highest service levels, the most comprehensive wealth management solutions – and strong counterparties.
We review all vendors that we recommend to our clients, as well as monitoring other providers. As a result Tanager has been approved by Pershing at a time when our existing platform was unable to satisfactorily meet our clients’ complex requirements.
Three key areas stood out as opportunities for us to improve our service to you:
- More robust international capabilities
- Wealth management solutions that are critical to your complex needs
- An improved electronic delivery of statements and tax documents
After significant due diligence, the firm that has the ability to meet these needs and provide you and us with the strength and stability we require to safekeep your US-domiciled assets is BNY Mellon and it’s affiliate, Pershing.

Securities Investor Protection Corporation® (SIPC®) Coverage
Pershing is a member of SIPC, which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at http://www/sipc.org
Excess of SIPC Coverage through Underwriters at Lloyd’s
In addition to SIPC protection, Pershing provides coverage in excess of SIPC limits from certain underwriters in Lloyd’s insurance market. The excess of SIPC insurance program is valid through February, 2017 for Pershing LLC accounts. It provides the following protection for Pershing LLC’s global client assets:
- An aggregate loss limit of $1 billion for eligible securities—over all client accounts
- A per-client loss limit of $1.9 million for cash awaiting reinvestment—within the aggregate loss limit of $1 billion
SIPC and the excess of SIPC insurance policy do not protect against loss due to market fluctuation. An excess of SIPC claim would only arise if Pershing failed financially and client assets for covered accounts—as defined by SIPC—cannot be located due to theft, misplacement, destruction, burglary, robbery, embezzlement, abstraction, failure to obtain or maintain possession or control of client securities, or to maintain the special reserve bank account required by applicable rules.
As custodian, Pershing will independently prepare monthly statements for your brokerage accounts. We recommend clients select a paperless option for security and access this information via the Pershing site.
