> 401k accounts are FDIC insured

No they're not. And a brokerage being insolvent wouldn't affect your assets. You own your shares of whatever you're invested in. If your brokerage failed, another one would take over.

The SIPC insures investment accounts - mostly uninvested cash, which you should have none of in a 401k.

Thanks for the info everyone, misread the Google quick search results and thought it said 401k is under FDIC
