Business Continuity Summary Disclosure Statement:

Silverfern maintains a business continuity plan (“BCP”) designed to allow the firm to continue serving investors in the event of a significant business disruption (“SBD”). 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.

Our BCP addresses: data backup and recovery; financial and operational assessment; alternative communications with investors, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier impact; and how our investors can communicate with Silverfern Representatives in the event of a SBD.

In the event of a SBD affecting a Silverfern third-party vendor, Silverfern will follow the business recovery plan and directions of the affected vendor. Silverfern expects to be in contact with the vendor regarding the status of its recovery effort. Silverfern typically does not rely on any single source vendor. Third-party vendors conducting significant business with Silverfern maintain their own business continuity plans.

If you cannot contact Silverfern through normal means, please check the Silverfern website (www.silfern.com) for alternative means of communication.
