Expert Insight (Aylin Güneş): The week’s robust performance is underpinned by a tech‑driven rally and strong gains in participation funds. Amid heightened volatility, Katılımevim Tasarruf Finansman, with its low‑beta profile and attractive dividend yield, presents a compelling entry point for long‑term value investors. The modest rise in gold prices signals lingering risk‑off sentiment. Emphasizing stocks with high dividend yields and active buy‑back programs will bolster portfolio resilience against market swings.
