Acadia Mutual Fund Business Continuity Plan

Business Continuity Plan

Acadia Mutual Fund Management, the adviser, and The Acadia Mutual Funds are committed to providing full service to its shareholders regardless of events which could disrupt operations.

Both organizations maintain a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) which establishes the procedures and protocols the firm will follow in the advent of any potential events which may disrupt the normal operations from our main address. We review the plan annually and test it at least semi-annually. In addition we review the BCP's of the entities supporting the activities of the Fund: transfer agent, distributor, custodian, plan administrators, legal, prime broker-dealer for trading and administrator.

Critical Issues and Operational Plans:

• The Acadia Mutual Fund's trading facility, administration, distribution, trading and custodial services are all off-site in multiple locations maintained by vendors to the Fund. Each vendor has a recovery backup plan in place. Consequently the enterprise risk is the inability to connect via our main servers to these sites. The departments within the Fund and the Adviser, all have synchronized standalone computers, any one of which, can access these sites in addition to phones and fax.


• In the event of a building disruption or a local disruption, the Fund and the Adviser can operate from its duplicate facility in Maine or its net worked operations in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We would continue service without disruption.


• In the event of a disruption to the Fund and the Adviser's main server located in Princeton, New Jersey the backup system information can be loaded in a matter of hours at any one of the firm's other locations as cited above. No disruption to our shareholders would occur during this period.


• In the event of a long term disruption at the New York offices, the Maine location has the ability to accommodate all of the staff complete with equipment, phones and fax machines. The entire operation can be deployed to this location in 4-6 hours with interim operations continuing from the Massachusetts and Rhode Island offices.


• The recovery time objective for the BCP, is to assure no disruption to trading or customer services during an event necessitating deployment of the plan.
