ROTARACT
Conversation with Halim Çun
on Mutual Funds
and Markets Investing in 2021
A Comprehensive Conversation with Halim Çun on Mutual Funds and Markets Investing
in todays world is among the essential conditions to guarantee their future. Although the
investment is perceived as accumulation, mainly called under the pillow"
throughout our country, the money that is returned in the financial system is increasing
day by day with the various investment instruments offered. Mutual funds, one of the
aforementioned investment tools, are gaining popularity, but still leave unanswered
questions for some of us. If these two words have incomprehensible and complicated
meanings for you, you are in the right place to reverse this situation! In the meeting
organized on February 22, with the joint hosting of Fatih, İstanbul, Şişli and Yeniköy
Rotaract Clubs, we hosted Halim Çun, General Manager and Chairman of the Board of
Gedik Portfolio Management Inc . As the Istanbul Rotaract Club, we prepared his
comprehensive speech, which was moderated by Deha Çun, Secretary of Regional
Clubs, in which he talked about mutual funds and markets and conveyed his personal
advice to the participants about becoming an investor, for the benefit of our other
Rotaract friends. The outline of Mr. Çuns speech in three parts, which started with the
Mutual Funds part, is as follows, we wish you pleasant reading. “First of all, I would like to
underline that what will be explained in this speech are my personal views that do not
bind my institution and do not contain investment advice. Let me start with the famous
investor Soros saying Good investment is boring; The boundaries of trading and
gambling in the investment world are very thin and when people start enjoying them,
the results are generally not good.” “When we are privatized towards our subject, we can
see that mutual funds, related institutions; funds collected from the public, stocks, etc.
“We see that they are portfolios that they utilize in various capital market instruments”.
“Money market funds in which money is valued in short-term debt instruments, debt
securities funds in which it is valued in various debt instruments, variable and mixed
funds in which various assets are valued at variable rates, stock funds in which a
minimum of 80% is invested in stocks, precious metal funds in which gold is used in
products, all The fund basket funds used in these funds, participation funds in which it is
evaluated in Islamic banking instruments, and hedge funds that are evaluated to cover all
these options for qualified investors were examples of mutual funds representing various
investment instruments”. “Factors such as the difference between intermediary
institutions and custodian institutions, keeping the operation processes under constant
control by independent audit institutions, managing the funds by professional teams,
providing easy conversion to cash, and providing a big investment with small savings
make mutual funds an attractive alternative”. The mutual funds that took the historical
scene in 1774 in the Netherlands today exceed 100 trillion dollars on a global scale.
