Definitions


Scope

The plan covers procedures to be followed by the company's staff in cases where company operations or services provided by external institutions are disrupted due to emergencies or unforeseen events. Key scenarios include:

Persons Responsible for Plan Implementation

The plan must be approved by the company's Board of Directors. Individuals responsible for its implementation are to be appointed by the Board, comprising at least one deputy general manager and an alternate staff member. Notifications are made to the Board, the Central Registry Agency, Istanbul Clearing and Settlement Bank, and other institutions specified by the Board.

If information processing systems cannot be maintained, and/or significant time is needed to repair damages caused by an unforeseen emergency, or if the work environment becomes physically unsuitable, the primary duty of the responsible individuals for plan implementation is to assess the situation and determine the necessary actions.

The adequacy of the procedures outlined in the plan is reviewed annually by those responsible for its implementation, considering company activities and organizational changes, such as opening or closing branches. Necessary amendments to the procedures are made accordingly.

Implementation and Workflow


 The company's financial data and all types of records and documents required to be kept in accordance with legislation are retained in printed copies and stored securely in fire-resistant steel protection cabinets in the archive room within the company. Additionally, Electronic backups are maintained for all records. In case of damage or inaccessibility, records can be restored from the system.

The company’s data and the fund's accounting data are systematically backed up to ensure the continuity of IT systems for the uninterrupted continuation of the company's activities in case of emergencies and unforeseen circumstances. The backups are stored in different locations for at least five years. Additionally, cloud storage systems provided by companies are also used, and backups of server data and important files on users' computers are kept through instant synchronization via the cloud. Internet access in the company is provided via an ADSL line and a fiber internet line. Company employees use laptops, enabling short-term work continuity on battery power during power outages. In case of long-term outages, if necessary, all employees can continue their work from any point connected to the electricity.


Measures outlined in (b) minimize risks associated with information processing system failures. The company's financial assets and funds are held in the custody of the depository institution and other financial institutions, if any. No amounts of cash exceeding daily needs are kept in the cash register. In addition, client-issued financial instruments such as checks, bonds, and other financial documents received from clients are not kept in the company's treasury but are held in banks. Consequently, financial risks are minimized. Backup staffing plans are in place for illness or resignations.

In the event that the company's board of directors decides that the company cannot continue its operations due to an emergency and unforeseen situation, the depository institution responsible for safeguarding the assets of funds established by the company will be notified of the situation, and the assets of the affected funds will be transferred accordingly. For funds managed on behalf of other asset management companies, the respective asset management company will be informed of the situation. The management contracts for the affected funds will be terminated, and management authority will be transferred to the respective asset management company.
