Editing Ally Invest Securities (section)

===Piercing the corporate veil===
Ally Invest may try to require customers provide it with a security interest in their property that reaches beyond the relationship strictly between the customer and Ally Invest Securities:<ref name=":0" />
<blockquote>Setoff and Security Interest Rights. I grant AIS a security interest in each of My accounts with AIS and its affiliates (each, an “Ally Company”) for obligations owing to any Ally Company.</blockquote>
An intentionally broad and/or vague definition of "affiliates" could be an attempt of Ally Invest Securities to use the customer's property to satisfy business dealings that are not directly between the customer and Ally Invest Securities.

Customers should be aware of the risk that Ally Invest Securities may have already invested in legal arguments on this matter that could result in the customer's substantial economic losses in the case that one of Ally's related interests (potentially a very close "affiliate") is able to create a successful claim against customer property where such a breadth of (successful) claimants may not have existed under similar circumstances (such as with a different broker).
