It is important to note, however, that the scope and impact of a local or regional disruption can
vary significantly, and certain elements of our and our clearing firms’ recovery plans may require
a longer recovery period, which means your requests for funds or securities, could be further
delayed. During a business disruption, we will continually evaluate, estimate, and communicate
the recovery time necessary to resume operations.
Varying Disruptions
Significant business disruptions can vary in scope; for example, they can impact 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 entire 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 to a building housing our firm,
we will transfer our operations to an alternative location, if needed, and we expect to recover and
resume critical business functions within several hours.
Important Disclaimers
United Planners will adhere to the procedures described in its business continuity plan and
described above to the extent commercially reasonable and practicable under prevailing
circumstances.
There are, however, an incalculable number of events or circumstances that
could result in a significant business disruption and their impact may vary greatly in size, scope,
severity, duration, and geographic location. Further, significant business disruptions may result in
varying degrees of harm to human life and regional or national infrastructure (power,
transportation, communications, etc.), which could affect the firm’s recovery in significant and
different ways.
In light of this, United Planners, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to flexibly respond to any
disruption in a situation-specific and prudent manner. Nothing in this disclosure document is
intended to provide a guarantee or warranty regarding the actions or performance of the
firm, its computer systems, or its personnel in the event of a significant business
disruption.
