Katılım Emeklilik General Manager Ayhan Sincek stated, "Participants gain significant returns by entrusting their fund allocation rights to artificial intelligence and the fund experts of companies when making fund changes. We manage our participants' fund allocations through an AI-supported robot, which we call 'Fon Asistanı' (Fund Assistant). Overall, we observe a growing trend among BES investors to delegate their fund allocations to robots."
Highlighting the numerous advantages that BES has gained through reforms and regulations implemented in recent years, Ayhan Sincek stated, "As Katılım Emeklilik, with our fund size of approximately 36 billion TL and 8% market share in interest-free funds, our goal is to introduce more participants to BES. Additionally, in the Under-18 BES segment, we hold an important position in the sector, with a fund size reaching 1.5 billion TL and a 5% market share. By integrating artificial intelligence technologies more extensively into our fund management, we enable investors to make decisions faster, more accurately, and with better risk management. According to March data, assets from over twelve thousand contracts are managed based on the fund allocation recommendations provided by Fon Asistanı (robot).
Evaluating the return performance of BES funds, Ayhan Sincek stated, "BES funds have provided returns above inflation in recent years. Last year, BES funds achieved an average return of 47%, while interest-free funds stood out with a 49% return. On the interest-free side, participants predominantly preferred gold funds."
Participation-based funds stand out with their growing market share
Highlighting that participation-based funds have drawn attention in recent years due to their high returns and increasing market share, Sincek said, "BES has become the most preferred investment instrument among participants thanks to its strong fund performance in recent years. As of 2025, we have observed that the market share of interest-free fund assets has exceeded 32%. As Katılım Emeklilik, we continue to offer solutions tailored to different needs and expectations with our return-leading fund portfolio, which helps our participants grow their savings. Our KEF fund, which maintains at least 80% of its portfolio in gold and gold-backed capital market instruments, has delivered a 15.67% return in just two months since the beginning of the year, ranking among the top performers. At the same time, our KJM fund, which aims to reflect price developments in the precious metals market to participants at a high rate, has provided a 16% return since the start of the year, making it one of our most preferred funds. Additionally, we are expanding our portfolio by including technology and participation basket funds to further diversify our investment offerings." |
