What is Borsa Istanbul?

Officially formed in 2013, Borsa Istanbul (BIST) is the only stock exchange in Türkiye.

The exchange provides a marketplace for trading in local stocks, ETFs and bonds, as well as international stocks.

Why investors should track their BIST investments with Sharesight

By consolidating all of their investments in Sharesight, investors gain a portfolio-wide view of their performance, benefitting from daily price updates for the BIST, plus advanced reporting designed for the needs of self-directed investors. In addition, Sharesight’s annualised performance calculation methodology gives investors the complete picture of their portfolio returns by calculating the impact of capital gains, brokerage fees, dividends and foreign exchange rates on performance.

Track dividend income from BIST stocks

Unlike other portfolio trackers, Sharesight automatically tracks dividend and distribution income and includes this information when calculating your investment return. In the screenshot below for example, dividends make an important contribution to this stock’s returns, highlighting the value of a portfolio tracking solution that includes more than just capital gains in its performance calculations.

An example of a BIST stock in an investor’s portfolio, with dividends contributing 15.95% to the total return, along with 71.22% in capital gains and -24.84% in currency gains.

Calculate the impact of BIST investments on your portfolio’s returns

In the screenshot below, you can see the contribution analysis report (sorted by market) being used to assess the ‘weight’ of various markets in a UK investor’s global portfolio. This would be particularly useful for an investor looking to compare the relative contribution of their BIST investments to the total return on their portfolio, for example.

In this example, the LSE is the most significant contributor to the portfolio’s returns, accounting for 42.24% and £56,565.65; followed by the BIST, which accounts for 38.13% and £51,070.60. The report also includes a detailed breakdown of each individual holding’s returns.
