This fund is an investment vehicle designed for investors seeking exposure to the Turkish equity market across its various capitalization segments, including large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks. It primarily targets capturing the performance of these segments by investing at least 80% of its assets in both the component securities of its underlying index and in investments that exhibit economic characteristics nearly identical to those securities. The underlying index serves as a benchmark to measure the performance of the broader equity market in Turkey, ensuring that the fund’s investment strategy is aligned with the dynamics and opportunities within the Turkish economy. This fund is characterized as non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its investments more heavily in fewer issues compared to diversified funds.
This product involves the fund investing directly in the securities that make up the underlying index. This strategy is designed to mirror the index's performance by holding the same stocks in similar proportions, making it an effective way for investors to gain targeted exposure to the Turkish equity market.
Aside from direct investments in component securities, the fund also seeks out investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to those of the index's constituents. This can include derivatives or other financial instruments that mimic the performance of the underlying securities, offering another layer of exposure to the equity market in Turkey.
