| Fund-handling note | Segregated accounts for the named exchanger, using the exchanger’s taxpayer identification number. The firm says disbursements require written authorization from the exchanger and dual authorization controlled by a separate banking division; sales and administrative staff have no authority to transfer funds. | Firm markets a banking department and online account information.

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 A thicker disclosure is not a grade, and an unpublished field is not a finding that the firm is unsafe.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: IPX1031 and Old Republic Exchange. Every figure on this page is copied from those files.
