Updated
Summary
In late October 2026, Turkey’s BIST 100 traded below 11,500, near its year-to-date lows. Average daily trading volume was down around 30% year on year over the past month amid turmoil in the investment fund industry.
Why it matters
The fund-industry turmoil included regulators’ previous-month order to liquidate 131 funds managed by seven asset managers, following warnings that some might be unable to meet redemption requests. Those funds had accumulated more than $20 billion in assets in three years and attracted nearly half a million investors.
Separately, Turkey’s benchmark stock index fell around 16% in September, its steepest monthly decline since 2008.
