Which type of investments are insured against loss by the (FDIC)?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits in member banks, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs), up to the insured limit of $250,000 per depositor, per bank. However, the FDIC does not insure investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other securities. Its protection is specifically for deposit accounts, ensuring the safety of cash funds held in these accounts in the event of a bank failure.
