- colinmorelli 4y agoThis speaks to my latter comment. You can use sweep accounts to increase protection, money market accounts which have different risk profiles, T-bills backed by the USG, etc. That said, it's all a tradeoff. Increasing FDIC insurance coverage means decreasing the yield on savings accounts, since banks fund FDIC and wouldn't take a cut in profits for it. Not sure what the optimal outcome here really is.
