Business Continuity Plan

The Altegris Group of Companies

Summary of Business Continuity Planning

 

At Altegris, our goal is to put our clients first in every aspect of our business. We do this by planning how we will meet your needs during an unexpected business disruption, such as natural disasters, power outages and other extraordinary events. We have created a business continuity plan that outlines the steps we will take if a significant disruption to our business arises, so that you can continue to receive essential services from us or one of our third party service providers.

Securities and futures regulations require certain subsidiaries of the Altegris Group of Companies, including Altegris Advisors, L.L.C., and Altegris Clearing Solutions, L.L.C., to provide you with basic information about our business continuity plan. Since the timing and impact of any such disruptions are unpredictable, our plan has been designed to be flexible in its response to events as they may occur. We continue to operate under the BCP implementation in place related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The following highlights and summarizes our plan.

If, after a significant business disruption, you cannot contact us by any of these standard methods, you can check our website(s) at www.altegris.com to find alternate or temporary contact information and updated information on what we are doing to quickly recover and resume business.



Our plan provides for immediate contact of service providers deemed critical to ongoing operations, and therefore the service providers will be apprised on our current situation and immediate continuity plans. If you are unable to contact the appropriate Altegris company by any of the above means, you may contact other service providers in respect of your investments as follows:

With respect to commodity pool investments in funds sponsored by Altegris Advisors, you may contact NAV Consulting, Inc. the funds’ administrator for any immediate needs or information. NAV Consulting may be contacted at (630) 954-1919.

For mutual fund investments, the Fund’s Transfer Agent, Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC maintains your account records. The Ultimus customer support team with respect to the Altegris Mutual Funds can be reached at (877) 772-5838 for shareholder inquiries.

 

Our Business Continuity Plan

We intend 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 taking the necessary steps to allow our customers to continue transacting business as normal. In short, 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.

 

Types of Significant Business Disruptions

 

Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as those affecting (i) only our offices in La Jolla, California, (ii) the city of La Jolla, or (iii) San Diego, California. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In the event of a significant disruption, whether local or regional, we may transfer operations to an off-site location as necessary to recover and resume business operations as quickly as possible, in most instances within 24 hours.

It is important to note none of the Altegris Group maintains custody of your funds or securities. All funds are maintained with specific critical business constituents, a list of which is maintained by the Altegris Group. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, your prompt access to, and information about, your funds and securities will continue to be available to you directly from the clearing firms, service providers, custodians, and/or third party funds that maintain your assets.
