Business Continuity Plan

Zunic Advisory Services is committed to safeguarding the interests of our clients and customers in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. This Business Continuity Plan Disclosure summarizes our effort to mitigate risks inherent with unforeseen business interruptions. The plan is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients and customers even in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption.

Communication in the Event of a Disruption

The safety and well-being of our employees is a vital concern. In the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, we will communicate with our employees in several different ways. General information such as office closures and operating hours will be posted on our website and/or through voice or e-mail.
In the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, clients can obtain up-to-date information regarding the operating status of the firm from the firm’s web site, zunicadvisory.com. In addition, customers can obtain the status of their account and access to their funds through the custodial firm maintaining their account relationship.

Back-Up Site

Zunic Advisory maintains an office located approximately 50 miles from our headquarters. In the event that we are unable to access our primary facility, it may be necessary to relocate to the backup site. The backup facility is a “hot site.” In other words, the site is fully operational at all times. It is equipped with workstations that have redundant computer network connectivity, telephones, printers, fax machines, market data feeds and all the other equipment necessary for operations. The functionality of the backup facility is routinely tested by personnel.

Disclaimer

Zunic Advisory Services’ business continuity plan is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients and customers even in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption; however it is not infallible. The plan is designed to work in many different emergency situations; but these events are, by their nature, unpredictable and it is impossible to anticipate every scenario that could cause a business disruption. Although we are confident in our own preparedness, Zunic Advisory has no control over the various entities that we must rely upon in the event of an emergency. Our business continuity plans are tested periodically to ensure readiness; yet such tests may not be able to replicate the actual conditions we experience in a real emergency.
