GSP Securities LLC 
Business Continuity Plan
GSP SECURITIES LLC has developed a Business
Continuity Plan (the "Plan") on how we will respond to events that
significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of
disasters and disruptions are 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 Plan.
Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you
cannot contact us as you usually do at 212-850-4900, you should
email your contact at the Firm at his or her email address. If you cannot access
us through any of these means, you should go to the Firm's web site at www.gspcap.com which should provide updated
information on what we are doing to quickly recover and resume business.
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. Our 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 Plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission
critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative
communication with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical
location of employees; critical business constituents, banks, and
counter-parties; regulatory reporting; and assuring our clients prompt access to
their funds and securities.
Varying Disruptions – 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. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can
also vary from minimal to severe. In the event of a significant business
disruption, we will evaluate whether to continue business from an affected
location, or move our operations at that location to an alternative location. In
the event that we determine we are unable to continue our business, we will
coordinate with our critical business constituents to assure our clients' prompt
access to their funds and securities.
For more information –
Please note that we review our Plan as necessary, and at least once a
year, to ensure that it accounts for material changes in technology,
business and regulatory practices, operations, structure, or location.
Our Plan is subject to change, and if you have questions about our
Plan, or if you wish to obtain a current written copy of the Plan, you
can contact us at 212-850-4900.
