Introduction. Intercam 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 the following summary information about our Business Continuity Plan.

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 plan is designed to permit our Firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the disruption’s scope and severity. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period. The Firm tests its capabilities for resumption of business annually.
Varying Disruptions. Business disruptions vary in their scope and severity. The plan outlines the actions the Firm will take in the event a building, city-wide, or regional incident disrupts our business, including relocating technology, records, and operational personnel to alternate facilities. The Firm’s recovery time objective for business resumption is four (4) hours where relocation is unnecessary, six (6) hours where relocation of personnel, records and/or technology is necessary and relocation to a remote site within South Florida is feasible, and one business day where relocation outside of the South Florida area is necessary.
Recovery objectives may be adversely affected due to the unavailability of external resources and circumstances beyond the Firm's control. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.
