False.

Non-depository institutions (e.g., brokerage firms, mutual funds, insurance companies) do not take insured deposits, so they are generally not covered by government deposit insurance like the FDIC/NCUA. Different, limited protections may apply (SIPC for brokerages, state guaranty associations for insurers), but these are not the same as government deposit insurance.
