Through Banc of America's Institutional desk we can provide clients institutional algorithmic trading services including VWAP, TWAP and TVOL strategies - all accessible through our Level II trading platforms.

Superior Clearing, Account Security and Protection
Pinnacle offers its clients the benefit of maximum account security and protection. Pinnacle is a member of the Securities Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC), which offers protection against the financial insolvency of its member firms. Each client account is protected up to $500,000 (maximum $100,000 in cash) through SIPC.

In addition, equity funds and securities are held and cleared by Penson Financial, an industry leading clearing firm. Penson has obtained additional insurance coverage of $24.5 million per account from Lloyds of London, which provides protection (in the unlikely event of its insolvency) for any loss of securities and/or cash in excess of the primary SIPC protection. From this amount, $1 million covers the cash amount and $24 million covers the assets in client account. Equity account protection through SIPC and Penson Financial does not cover losses caused by market depreciation, fluctuations in market value of your securities or trading losses.

Conflict -Free, Agency-Only Brokerage Services
Since Pinnacle acts exclusively an agent for client orders, our efforts are purely in the client's best interest. As an agency-only broker, we always remain market neutral. To avoid any conflicts of interest, Pinnacle does not perform proprietary trading for its own accounts, nor do we engage in principle transactions. Our primary goal is to help our clients achieve optimal trading results by seeking t the best execution on each and every trade.
