Since its establishment, IS Investment’s<br />
International Capital Markets Division has<br />
been providing direct access to financial<br />
markets around the globe through its extensive<br />
counterparty network. Dedicated assistance<br />
by the industry’s top professionals have<br />
allowed IS Investment’s clients to have a<br />
better understanding and a broader view of<br />
investment products to achieve their goal of a<br />
well-diversified portfolio.<br />
As a direct consequence of the unconventional<br />
measures taken by the major central banks,<br />
global markets continued their steady<br />
recoveries through 2012, reaching closer<br />
to their pre-Lehman crisis levels. However,<br />
as the sentiment towards the economic<br />
data continued to be fragile throughout<br />
2012, investors remained on alert with their<br />
confidence towards the markets still hang by<br />
a thread. As there is no risk free country in the<br />
World set by the examples in the European<br />
Union Member Nations and the United States<br />
losing its prized AAA rating, once again we<br />
were reminded the importance of diversification.<br />
Thus, availability of alternative investment tools<br />
for individual investors has become crucial in<br />
order to benefit from such volatile movements<br />
and reduce the portfolio risk. Due to the<br />
extensive global markets coverage by a team<br />
of professionals, and a wide array of investment<br />
products, IS Investment’s clients continue to<br />
position themselves at the right place at the<br />
right time.<br />
IS Investment has been investing heavily on<br />
improving product mix in order to satisfy the<br />
needs and spread out the portfolio risks of<br />
its clients. As the on-going developments<br />
globally continue to be on the foreground<br />
of investor’s attentions, IS Investment has<br />
already had an ever increasing activity in these<br />
markets. IS Investment has direct market<br />
access capabilities through the major equity<br />
and derivative exchanges around the World<br />
and also has execution facilities to emerging<br />
markets like in Middle East and CIS region. In<br />
equity markets, IS Investment’s activities are<br />
not only limited to secondary market trading<br />
as we also provide means for its clients to<br />
participate in primary issues all around the<br />
World and chance to invest through options<br />
rather than directly in cash markets. In fixed<br />
income markets, IS Investment was rated<br />
as one of the top Turkish financial institution<br />
based on the transactions booked outside<br />
the exchange while being awarded the Co-<br />
Manager position in Is Bank’s US$ Eurobond<br />
and Republic of Turkey’s first Sukuk issuance.<br />
With a counterparty network of more than a<br />
hundred institutions around the World, not only<br />
IS Investment’s concentration relies purely on<br />
Turkish Eurobonds, but also on high grade<br />
credits as well as credits from emerging market<br />
economies like Kazakhstan, Brazil, Russia.<br />
Even though the markets continued their<br />
recovery mode in full swing, events like the US<br />
election created market volatility which kept<br />
the opportunities knocking while increasing the<br />
appetite towards exchange-listed derivative<br />
instruments. In order to facilitate its clients’<br />
needs for these leveraged instruments,<br />
IS Investment launched TradeMaster<br />
International in the beginning of 2007, which<br />
is giving execution capabilities in major equity<br />
markets and more importantly in futures<br />
markets like CBOT and CME. Also, through<br />
IS Investment’s experienced traders, corporate<br />
clients can access London Metal Exchange<br />
(LME) and the Baltic Exchange in order to<br />
hedge their physical market exposures. Recent<br />
trends within the industry have facilitated<br />
leveraged Forex trading to be regulated by the<br />
Turkish Capital Markets Board. Upon validation<br />
of statutes, IS Investment became one of the<br />
first financial institutions with a market-making<br />
license to provide leveraged Forex trading<br />
capabilities to its retail and corporate clients.<br />
As a result, IS Investment officially launched<br />
TradeMaster FX (TMFX) trading platform at<br />
the beginning of 2012, quickly becoming the<br />
undisputed market leader in terms of volumes<br />
traded.<br />
Rating ourselves by far as the top Turkish<br />
institution in international capital markets, not<br />
only IS Investment will work on improving its<br />
abilities in organized exchanges around the<br />
World, but also will pursue to provide access<br />
to opportunities in emerging economies to its<br />
clients whom IS Investment made believe the<br />
importance of diversification with a little kick in<br />
it.<br />
