Man Investments Inc. ('Man') is committed to providing timely service to our clients and intermediaries. We recognize the importance of preparing for various disaster scenarios that could hamper our ability to provide such service. Man has taken steps to provide for business contingency and continuity planning under a variety of potential scenarios. We continue to upgrade our continuity plans and expand our resources in order to provide for the recovery and timely resumption of critical business operations to internal business units, third party business partners, intermediaries and our clients.
Business scenario preparedness
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 and regulatory reporting.
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 a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within one day. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within two days. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, and notify you through our web site www.maninvestments.com or our disaster recovery site number, 1 708 668 1800 on how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will take the appropriate measures to ensure that client accounts will be able to be serviced by the appropriate personnel.

Conclusion
Please be aware that, while we have detailed plans in place, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in achieving recovery in the times noted above. For example, we may not be able to implement a plan during a disaster as quickly as we expect, or there may be disasters that we have been unable to anticipate and for which we have no plan. Additionally, if parts of our plan are dependent on third parties, we will have no control over the success or failure of the third party to respond appropriately to the challenges posted at the time of the disaster.
These plans are periodically updated and modified. If you have any questions, please contact your registered representative.
