I was just going through some banking materials and came across information regarding FDIC insurance. Is it really necessary for a bank to get FDIC insurance? Are all accounts covered under it?

Traditional bank accounts e.g. savings, checking, trust, IRAs, CDs, are all covered. Banks would also offer money market deposits that are covered under FDIC.

I have come across a lot of investment options e.g. mutual funds, life policies, annuities, bonds and stocks. These are the non-deposit products and hence are not covered under FDIC.

FDIC also doesn't cover safe deposit boxes. You could apply for separate coverage for all the items contained in such boxes.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation created by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.

No, not exactly, IRAs and Trusts are not FDIC insured, depending on the account.

However, you can get a brokerage account, funded with CD's or Money Markets that is SIPC insured, which is 5 times the coverage.
