I'm no specialist in the topic, but AFAIK you're insured for monetary funds held in a brokerage account.

Stocks themselves don't need insurance from the brokerage, as they're in custody somewhere else. Depends on the country, I presume.

What I meant is there's no insurance against the company you own going bankrupt. If you buy Tesla and it goes south, nobody will rescue your funds.
