下面请看酷外汇小编对Halifax澳大利亚母公司关于此问题的FAQ译文：
Q: Are IB investors able to claim under the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) policy?
IB（介绍经纪商）投资者可否根据证券投资者保护公司（SIPC）保单提出赔偿？
A: We have recently received advice from our solicitors which indicates that IB investors are unfortunately unable to claim coverage under the SIPC policy.
最近，我们从律师那里获得的建议表明，很遗憾，IB投资者不能根据SIPC保单索偿。
A: By way of explanation, SIPC is not an insurance company. Rather, SIPC is a US federally mandated corporation which assists to protect and provide coverage to customers on their brokerage accounts, in circumstances where their brokerage firm (who is a SIPC member broker-dealer) becomes insolvent. That is, SIPC will assist where a “member broker-dealer” enters external administration.
具体来说，SIPC并不是指一家保险公司。相反，它是美国联邦政府授权的公司，在客户的经纪公司（SIPC成员经纪-交易商）破产的情况下，协助保护客户经纪账户并向客户提供赔偿。也就是说，当“成员经纪-交易商”进入外部管理程序时，SIPC将提供协助。
A: Interactive Brokers LLC and Halifax America LLC are SIPC members. However, these entities are not subject to the Voluntary Administration.
Interactive Brokers LLC和Halifax America LLC是SIPC的成员。但是，这些实体不受自愿管理影响。
A: Unfortunately, Halifax is not an SIPC member and as a result, investors of Halifax cannot claim under the SIPC policy.
而很遗憾，Halifax（澳大利亚母公司）不是SIPC成员，因此，其投资者不能根据SIPC保单提出索赔。
