“LEVERAGE AND COLLATERAL
The full amount of the leverage used by the investor must be collateralized in cash, in Turkish Lira or a
convertible currency. The parties may freely determine the leverage ratio, but it cannot exceed 100:1. This means, the investor
is required to deposit at least 1% of the total transaction value. For example, in order to trade
USD 100,000, the required margin would be at least USD 1,000.
The legislation requires that margins deposited by investors should be kept at the ISE Settlement and Custody Bank (Takasbank).”
