BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Vukota Capital Management, LLC (“VCM”) is committed to providing timely service to our investors. We recognize the importance of preparing for various disaster scenarios that could hamper our ability to provide such service. VCM has taken steps to provide for business contingency and continuity planning under a variety of potential scenarios. We continue to upgrade our continuity plans and expand our resources in order to provide for the recovery and timely resumption of critical business operations to internal business units, third party business partners, intermediaries and our investors.
Business scenario preparedness
We plan 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 investors 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 any significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: (i) data back-up and recovery; (ii) all mission critical systems; (iii) financial and operational assessments; (iv) alternative communications with investors and employees; and (v) alternate physical location of employees.
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. Also, within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can vary from minimal to severe. Disruptions to only our firm or our office building, we will transfer our operations to our employees’ homes when needed and expect to recover and resume business within one day. In a disruption affecting our business district, city or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area and recover and resume business within two days. In either situation, we plan to continue business and notify you through our website (www.vcmgam.com) detailing how to contact us for urgent matters. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will take the appropriate measures to ensure that we notify our investors and all investor accounts will be serviced by the appropriate personnel.
Contacting us
If after a significant business disruption, you cannot contact us as you usually do, please notify us through our website at www.vcmgam.com.
Conclusion
Please be aware that, while we have detailed plans in place, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in achieving recovery in the times noted above. For example, we may not be able to implement a plan during a disaster as quickly or efficiently as we expect, or there may be severe disasters that we have been unable to anticipate and for which we have no plan. Additionally, if parts of our plan are dependent on third parties, we will have no control over the success or failure of the third party to respond appropriately to the challenges posted at the time of the disaster.
These plans are periodically updated and modified. If you have any questions, please direct inquiries to Patti-Lynn Levinsky (888) 614-6345 ext.103 or email plevinsky@vukotacapital.com.
