Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review emerging capital market institutions that are considered as ‘collective investment undertakings’ under Turkish Capital Market Law: Mutual funds, pension funds, real estate investment funds and venture capital investment funds. In this paper, data is retrieved from official website of Capital Market Board. With ‘VAR’ and ‘Johansen Co-Integration analysis’ and with ‘Vector-Error-Correction Model’, the impact of FX rates on net asset values of pension funds are examined for the period between 2015-2021 in Turkey. Findings indicate that in the long run, there is a co-integration relation between FX rates and net asset values. It is argued that net asset values of both pension funds and mutual funds have increased steadily in Turkey despite economic turbulances, an emerging economy. This study concludes that portion of funds as collective investment undertakings in financial industry will incline further with new products and legislation.
