J.P. Turner & Company, LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we
will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing
and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, we will have to be flexible
in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing
you with this information on our business continuity plan.
Contacting Us
If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually
do at
(404) 479-8300, you should go to our website at www.jpturner.com. If you cannot access us through either
of those means, you should contact our clearing firm, National Financial Services
LLC., at (617) 563-5977 for instructions on how it may provide you access to your
funds or securities, enter orders and process other trade-related cash or securities
transactions.
Our Business Continuity Plan allows us to quickly recover and resume
business operations
after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees
and
property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s
books and
records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business
continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as
possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: Data back up and recovery; all mission critical
systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with
customers,
employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier,
contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting, and assuring our
customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue
our business.
Our clearing firm, National Financial Services LLC., backs up our important records
in a
geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems
based
on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we
have been
advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations
and be able to
complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within 24
hours or
more. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during
this period.
Varying disruptions – significant business disruptions can vary in their scope,
such as only
our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm
is located, the
city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the
severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption
to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations
to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 24
hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will
transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, recover and resume
business within 24 hours or more. In either situation, we plan to continue our business,
transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through our
web site www.jpturner.com or our customer emergency number, (617) 563-5977 on how
to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents
us from remaining in business, we will assure our customers prompt access to their
funds and securities either directly or through our clearing firm.
