Business Continuity Plan Disclosure Statement

 

The Firm developed a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) detailing how our firm will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, our firm has an obligation to prepare for unforeseen events as they occur. Our BCP is designed to permit our firm to resume operations in a reasonable amount of time at a secure remote location, given the scope and severity of a major event.  

 

If a business disruption affects only our firm or a specific building within our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local worksite.  In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to an alternate worksite outside of the affected area.  In either situation, we plan to continue conducting business and notify our investors how to contact us through a voice message reached via our main phone number. 

 

To accommodate our recovery time objective, telephone service will continue and normal work processes will resume at the alternate worksite. Recovery times may vary depending on the nature and severity of the disruption; however, our recovery time objective for mission critical operations is 0-72 hours.  If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from conducting business, we will update our voice message and/or website.  

 

At a minimum, the Firm business continuity plan is reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Additionally, our primary internal and external application providers periodically conduct testing of their own back-up capabilities to ensure that, in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, they will be able to provide us with the critical information and applications we need to continue or promptly resume our business.  Our business continuity plan is designed to allow us to continue to provide the quality service you have come to expect from the Firm.

 

USA PATRIOT Act and Anti-Money Laundering Program

 

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account

 

USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad and imposes anti-money laundering (“AML”) requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Under the Act’s provisions, all brokerage firms are required to have comprehensive AML programs. As part of our AML program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information prior to effecting any transactions for you.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. 

 

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, tax identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. The firm may also ask for other identifying documents.

 

For a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity may need to provide information such as its principal place of business, local/office address, taxpayer identification number, certified articles of incorporation, government-issued business license/ a partnership agreement, or a trust agreement and resolutions that name the persons authorized to give us instructions regarding the accounts. Additional information, such as net worth, annual income, occupation, employment information, investment experience and objectives, and risk tolerance may also be required.

 

Under certain circumstances, we may become obligated to disclose this information pursuant to applicable laws, rules, or regulations, but the information will otherwise be held in confidence in accordance with our privacy policy.

 

Effective May 11, 2018, new rules under the Bank Secrecy Act will aid the government in the fight against crimes to evade financial measures designed to combat terrorism and other national security threats. Each time an account is opened for a covered Legal Entity, we are required to ask you for identifying information (name, address, date of birth, social security number as well as identification documents) for each individual that has beneficial ownership (25% or more) and one individual that has significant managerial control of the Legal Entity.

 

If you are opening an account on behalf of a Legal Entity, you will be required to provide the appropriate documentation and to certify that this information is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.
