What to do when one's savings in an 401k plan are over the FDIC protection limit of $100k? Some brokerage firms add SPIC protection up to $500k, but it seems to be only for securities.
What about if the 401k plan is rolled over to a regular IRA, how does the FDIC limit apply? How exactly does the SPIC limit apply for those accounts covered by it?
TIA

How many 401(k) plans are invested at companies that have FDIC insurance? Mine is at a brokerage.
The FDIC limit for IRAs is 250,000.
OK. But I guess that it's for cash accounts only, right? I assume that securities would be immune to an institution going under, except for its own stock value, right?
