HUNTINGTON STEELE BUSINESS
CONTINUITY PLAN DISCLOSURE
Huntington Steele 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 at (206) 204-0320, and you have checked
our website at www.huntingtonsteele.com, you should call our managing
directors directly. Patsy Huntington’s cell phone is (425) 985-4042
and Jen Steele’s cell phone is (206) 321-1873. If you cannot
access us through any of those means, you should contact our custodians
to obtain
account information and prompt access to your funds and securities.
Northern Trust can be reached at (312) 557-3048 or at www.northerntrust.com.
Fidelity Investments can be reached at (415) 445-7909 or at www.fidelity.com.
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 customers 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.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery;
all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments;
alternative
communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate
physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank
and counter-party
impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access
to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

continuity planning, you can contact us at: (206) 204-0320.
