TUR offers a pure play take on Turkish equities. It tracks our market-cap-weighted index, which invests in large-, mid, and small-cap companies trading in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE), providing comprehensive exposure to the market. Overall, TUR is as good a proxy as one can get for the Turkish stock market. However, investors must still be conscious of the funds composition before investing, as the pool of Turkish companies may result in high concentration risk among some specific sectors. The fund uses a sampling strategy, meaning the fund may not hold all the stocks of the underlying index but will hold securities that collectively have the same investment profile. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
