Business Continuity Plan & Update (as of 3/20/2020)

A note to our clients and friends.

After much discussion and careful consideration, our company has decided to remain open. After all, Financial Services is considered by the governor an “essential service”.

With most live entertainment cancelled or postponed, we understand that the focus on the stock market is one of the last “spectator sports” available. The current pandemic has caused a severe market pullback, and we understand our clients need our perspective or markets now as much as ever.

Furthermore, we will not be contributing to this recession by reducing the hours or paychecks of our employees, although they do have the option of working remotely in the interest of personal safety. If you would like to speak with any member of our team, they’ll be available to you.

We take public health very seriously, so our business will implement the following modifications over the upcoming weeks:

· Business hours are now 8AM – 2PM Monday – Friday, allowing for an extra hour after market close. Clients who call in can expect to talk to someone immediately during these hours, or have their voicemail promptly returned.

· Buy or sell trades will be processed as normal – please remember to call in to verify any trade requests (530-487-1777).

· All in-person client appointments will be rescheduled for a later date.

· We can host phone or GoToMeeting online appointments for any client remotely.

· Cashiering will remain open: we will promptly process all deposits and distributions as normal. Deposits can be made remotely via EFT or wire. Check deposits can be dropped off in person at the front door. (Please ring doorbell or call 530-487-1777 and we can meet you at your car or the front door.

Thank you for your trust, business and understanding. We look forward to getting through this valley together, side by side (although 6 feet apart 😉).
