to provide direct access to financial markets<br />

around the globe through its counterparty<br />

which our clients have a better scope of<br />

investment products for achieving a diversified<br />

portfolio.<br />

The latest liquidity crisis that crippled the<br />

economies around the World, once again<br />

highlighted the importance of diversification.<br />

While the World's biggest economies have<br />

been pushed deep into the arms of recession,<br />

the biggest and most prominent financial firms<br />

had disclosed holdings in problematic<br />

mortgage backed securities, which stunned<br />

the World markets as there is no safe ground<br />

among the companies that are a vital part of<br />

the economic system. However, the ongoing<br />

excessive measures that the major Central<br />

Banks took in order to lessen the severity of<br />

this worldwide crisis, created an<br />

unprecedented rally in the financial markets<br />

starting in the year 2009. With the help of its<br />

extensive global markets coverage by a team<br />

of professionals, IS Investment’s client were<br />

fortunate enough to be positioned in the right<br />

place and the right time.<br />

IS Investment has been investing heavily on<br />

improving our product mix in order to satisfy<br />

the needs and spread out the single country<br />

risks of our customers. As the latest liquidity<br />

crisis put the international capital markets to<br />

the foreground of investor's attentions, IS<br />

Investment has already had an ever increasing<br />

activity in these markets. IS Investment has<br />

direct market access capabilities through the<br />

major equity exchanges around the world and<br />

also has execution facilities to emerging<br />

markets like in Middle East and CIS region. In<br />

equity markets, our activities are not only<br />

limited to secondary market trading as we also<br />

provide means for our customers to<br />

participate in primary issues all around the<br />

world and chance to invest in equity options<br />

rather than directly in cash markets. In fixed<br />

income markets, with a volume reaching<br />

almost USD 3 billion in 2010, IS Investment<br />

was rated as the top financial firm among the<br />

other Turkish financial institutions based on<br />

transactions booked outside the exchange.<br />

Not only, as IS Investment, we concentrate<br />

purely on Turkish Eurobonds, but also focus<br />

heavily on high grade credits as well as credits<br />

from emerging market economies like<br />

Kazakhstan, Brazil, Russia and interact with<br />

more than hundred counterparties around the<br />

World. Latest being the Bank Pozitif’s 2014<br />

maturity Eurobond issue, the syndication parts<br />

that we have taken on the Eurobond issues<br />

listed below demonstrate our commitment and<br />

willingness to be a more active player in these<br />

markets as a Turkish institution.<br />

As the financial crisis have created rollercoaster<br />

rides in the World markets, adding to<br />

the ways of diversification, the opportunities<br />

that keep on knocking increased the needs for<br />

exchange-listed derivative instruments. In<br />

order to facilitate our clients' needs for these<br />

leveraged instruments, IS Investment launched<br />

Trade Master International in the beginning of<br />

2008, which is giving execution capabilities to<br />

our investors for investing on their own in<br />

major equity markets and more importantly in<br />

futures markets like CBOT and CME. Also,<br />

through our experienced traders, our<br />

corporate clients can access to London Metal<br />

Exchange (LME) in order to hedge their<br />

physical exposures in industrial metals.<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<br />

in it.<br />
