      Securities offered by Florida Investment Advisors at The Bank of Tampa are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. They are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, Florida Investment Advisors or The Bank of Tampa and are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal amount invested. Florida Investment Advisors and The Bank of Tampa are subsidiaries of the Tampa Bay Tampa Banking Company. Banking products are provided by The Bank of Tampa, member FDIC.

      SIPC coverage is not the same as the federal deposit insurance provided by the FDIC. It does not protect investors against a decline in the market value of securities. SIPC generally protects customers against the physical loss of securities if the broker/dealer holding the securities for the customer fails. SIPC protects cash and securities held in a brokerage account up to $500,000 with a $100,000 limit on cash. Information is available from your registered representative regarding additional protection outside of SIPC.
