In the field of investment funds, we offer privileged services to investors by launching a wide range of uniquely themed and high- return-potential funds in Turkey—many for the first time—drawing inspiration from key global transformation areas such as sustainability, gender equality and technology. We focus on impact investments that provide social benefit while embracing the principles of sustainability.
Launched in 2008, the İş Asset TEMA Variable Fund is Turkey’s first environmentally friendly investment fund. It is also the first fund in Turkey to offer investors the opportunity to have their savings professionally managed within an environmentally responsible investment portfolio.
50% of the fund management fee is paid monthly to the TEMA Foundation as a licensing and consultancy fee.
As part of international accreditation, our TMC – İş Asset TEMA Variable Fund received an ESG score of 70 out of 100 in 2024 under the ESG rating system.
As İş Portföy, we maintain our leading position through five different funds established and managed under the renewable energy theme. These funds are:
• IPJ – İş Asset Electric Vehicles Mixed Fund
• IKP – İş Asset Renewable Energy Mixed Fund
• IYG – İş Asset Management Renewable Energy Venture Capital Investment Fund
• IAG – İş Asset Management Infrastructure Venture Capital Investment Fund
• IET – İş Asset Management Renewable Energy Technologies Venture Capital Investment Fund
Turkey’s first investment fund that supports gender equality and women’s leadership in the workplace, the “İş Asset Women in Workforce Equity Fund” was launched on March 8, 2021, International Women’s Day, in collaboration with the Koç University Gender and Women’s Studies Research and Application Center (KOÇ-KAM).
This fund invests in the domestic shares of companies that value female participation in leadership roles, allowing investors to benefit from the value women add to the economy and corporate performance. At the same time, it encourages companies to develop gender-equality-focused policies.
The investment universe of the İş Asset Women in Workforce Equity Fund is built from the İş Portföy KOÇ-KAM Women-Friendly CompaniesIndex, created in partnership with Borsa Istanbul, and consists of companies that emphasize female employment and have effectively transformed women’s potential into productivity.
Valuing environmental, social, and corporate governance, our company has always prioritized being at the forefront of impactful social responsibility projects and pioneered numerous initiatives within the sector.
Established through a partnership between İş Portföy and the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV), this fund continues to serve the goal of promoting educational equality.
TEV, one of Turkey’s most experienced institutions in promoting educational equity, collaborated with İş Portföy to launch the EDU – İş Asset TEV Education Support Variable Fund—a sector-first.
Half of the fund management fee earned by İş Portföy from this fund, is donated monthly to TEV. The foundation uses this income to support the education of deserving young individuals in need.
With the EDU Fund, we combine investment products with a socially responsible approach to provide continuous support for education—an initiative that stands as another first in Turkey in the field of social impact investing. By allocating part of their investments to this fund, investors directly help provide scholarships to students who are unable to access education due to financial hardship. With this perspective, we believe it is possible to change the future with a single fund.
As the fund grows, the greater the impact on future generations. For example, under current conditions, for every 100 million TL accumulated in the fund, the amount allocated to TEV from fund management fees would cover the annual education scholarships of approximately 35 university students.
The İş Asset Sustainability Equity Fund (HSYF) invests in companies that create competitive advantage by operating in line with corporate sustainability principles focused on growth, efficiency, and long-term value creation.
We aim to offer our investors access to the potential of companies listed on the BIST Sustainability Index that provide responsible investment opportunities and whose environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) practices are rigorously assessed. Through this, we also hope to contribute to the sustainability of our planet.
