MyStockFund Securities Inc. Business Continuity and Contingency Planning
 

Securities industry regulations require that brokerage firms inform their clients of their plans to address the possibility of a business disruption that potentially results from power outages, natural disasters, or other events. MyStockFund Securities, Inc. has a comprehensive business continuity program in place, which we assess and update on a regular basis. The plan provides for continuation of client service within minutes in most cases.

Here are a few examples of what might occur if we were to experience a business disruption of varying magnitude:

In the event that our primary data center became unavailable for any reason, we would transition to a separate location. Account access would be made available through the alternate location.

If we had a power outage in a particular region or business district, we would re-direct telephone and electronic communications to alternate locations for the duration of the outage.

While no contingency plan can eliminate all risk of service interruption or temporarily impeded account access, we continually assess and update our plans to mitigate all reasonable risk.

This disclosure is subject to modification.
