COVID-19 Operational Response
By Financial Principles on March 16, 2020
Dear Friend,
I hope this message finds you, your loved ones and your colleagues all well and safe. We are closely monitoring developments around the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), and our priority remains the safety of our employees, our clients, and your assets.
Please know that we all remain dedicated to ensuring we deliver on our commitments and obligations to serving you amid these challenging times, and our COVID-19 preparedness is coordinated as part of an established firm-wide business continuity program.
I want to let you know that in an effort to keep operations running smoothly and enforce social distancing, we have implemented our business continuity plan and our team is largely working remotely at this time. In addition, we have opted to cancel our currently planned client events and gatherings. As such, our client open house and shredding event for March 23rd is postponed until further notice.
While working remotely, we have the tools and technology to operate and communicate with you as if we were in the office. We are here to be of service and answer any questions about your financial planning, portfolios, taxes, estate plans, and any other questions that you may have. Below is a list our direct phone numbers and e-mails so that you have it easily accessible.
We have and will continue to take prudent and precautionary actions that allow us to provide the support and service that you have come to expect. Please know that we remain fully functional and prepared to provide continuity of service as the environment around us evolves.
We take tremendous pride in being stewards of your business, and will do everything in our power to deliver on our promises to you. On behalf of all us at Hightower Financial Principles, we are with you. We thank you for your continued partnership as we navigate through this time.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your advisor.
Regards,
The Hightower Financial Principles Team
