TD Ameritrade supplies the following guarantee:
What is the asset protection guarantee?
This guarantee means that if you lose cash or securities from your account due to unauthorized activity through no fault of your own, we'll reimburse you for the cash or shares of securities you lost out of your account.
To provide this guarantee, we ask you to help us help protect your assets and information in the following simple ways:
- Keep your account access information private: Don't write it down near your computer, let a neighbor or co-worker watch you type in a UserID or password, or give login information to anyone you don't want to gain access to your account. Remember that any individuals you've granted authority to act on your behalf in your account (perhaps your spouse, child, or investment advisor) would be considered authorized, so their activity isn't covered by this guarantee.
- Check your account frequently.
- Carefully review your account statements and trade confirmations.
- If you ever suspect that you've been a victim of theft or that unauthorized activity has occurred in your account, please notify us immediately. We'll investigate your claim promptly. We'll help you take steps to protect yourself and your system from further loss. We'll also ask you to cooperate in any investigation that might be necessary.
