Disaster Preparedness/Business Continuity Plan
GRP 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 is 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 you should call our alternative number:
415-526-2753.
Our Business Continuity Plan – 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 clients 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.
Code of Ethics
GRP has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) which covers its employees, Investment
Advisory Representatives and the registered and non- registered assistants of its
Investment Advisory Representatives (“Covered Persons”). The Code requires that all
Covered Persons conduct all business dealings in an ethical fashion, and encourages all
Covered Persons to meet not only the technical requirements of the Code but also its
spirit. Under the Code, Covered Persons have an affirmative duty of care, loyalty and
honesty and must act in the best interests of their clients.
GRP’s Code requires Covered Persons to comply with all federal securities laws. In
addition, Covered Persons are prohibited from defrauding, misleading, or manipulating a
client in any way in connection with the purchase or sale of a security. Further,
Covered Persons may not favor the interests of one client over the other. In the course
of normal business, Covered Persons may receive confidential information concerning
clients and potential clients. The general rule, as discussed in the Code is that this
information should never be communicated to anyone other than Investment Advisory
Representatives, assistants, and employees of GRP who need to know, and where
appropriate, to the participants involved in a specific transaction.
The Code has strict guidelines regarding personal securities transactions, designed to
ensure that Covered Persons are not misusing their inside positions at clients’ expense.
Covered Persons are specifically prohibited from profiting personally, directly or
indirectly, as a result of knowledge about a security or transactions. To enable GRP to
monitor compliance with the Code, GRP requires that Covered Persons provide GRP with
duplicate copies of confirmations and statements for accounts held at other financial
institutions.
A copy of the Code of Ethics is available to clients upon request.
