FAQ
Which of these QIs is better?
This page does not pick a winner. It places published custody fields from two QI File listings side by side. A thicker disclosure is not a grade, and an unpublished field is not a finding that the firm is unsafe.
Can I treat a parent logo or a bond number on this table as current coverage?
No. Parent is an ownership note. Insurance figures appear only when the firm’s cited page still prints them. Ask for current certificates. See how to read a listing and segregated vs dual-signature.
Where are the full source lists?
Open the two custody files: 1031 CORP. and Universal Pacific 1031. Every figure on this page is copied from those files.
