Impact Assessment

Operational Impact: Medium - The scheduled DR site operation will cause temporary platform unavailability during specific time windows on a Saturday. Since this occurs on a weekend, the impact on regular trading activities is minimized. However, members conducting mutual fund operations on Saturday will need to plan around the 4-hour total window (including both switch periods). This is a routine disaster recovery drill to ensure business continuity preparedness.

Impact Justification

Scheduled DR site operations with planned downtime affecting mutual fund platform access for limited duration during non-trading hours
