Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
Our firm’s policy is to respond to a Significant Business Disruption (SBD) by safeguarding employees’ lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, quickly recovering and resuming operations, protecting all of the firm’s books and records and allowing our customers and transact business. Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBD’s internal and external. Internal SBD’s affect only our firm’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBD’s prevent the operation of the operations of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist’s attack, or wide-scale regional disruption due to floods, loss of power etc. Our response to an external SBD relies on other organizations and systems, such as mutual fund and insurance companies and in a limited extent our clearing broker dealer. In the event of an internal and external SBD that causes the loss of our paper records, we will physically recover these records from our backup tape. Since we deal only in mutual funds and variable annuities we will also have the ability to access the records held at the respective companies. In selected instances HRC will clear other securities transactions through Pershing & Co., a division of BNY Securities Corporation. The clearing firm has provided us with alternative contact persons and organizations in the event it cannot be reached. In the event of an SBD, we will immediately identify what means will permit us to communicate with our customers, employees and other critical personnel. Although the effects of an SBD will determine the means of alternative communication, the communications option we will employ will be our telephone voice mail and telephone provided our service is operable. In addition, we will retrieve records as the section above. We now communicate with our customers using the telephone, fax, We now communicate with our employees using the telephone, email and in person. In the event of an SBD, we will assess which means of communication are still available to us. Since we are a small company all our employees have a directory of all employees home addresses and telephone numbers and we have in the past, used the “call tree” method to communicate in emergency situations i.e. inclement weather or power failures. We will do the same in the event of an SBD. Sean S.Mohammadi, a registered principal is responsible for approving the plan and for conducting the required annual review. |
