    4. Have you reviewed your margin agreement and rehypothecation terms?

    5. Do you have immediate-access reserves (0 to 7 days) at a separate bank?

    6. Do you have short-term reserves (7 to 30 days) in low-risk instruments?

    7. Have you verified your SIPC/CIPF/FSCS coverage limits and membership?

    8. Are registered accounts (IRA/RRSP) at a different firm than non-registered?

    9. Have you documented all account numbers, institutions, and coverage categories?
