Institutional Sales:

The Institutional Sales department focuses on foreign institutional investors across continental Europe, the UK and the US via its New York office. The department only works with investment funds and thus the customer profile of the Institutional Sales department is 100% end-client oriented.

We have had an uninterrupted coverage of these institutional investors for 11 years. The top-quality service we provide to institutional investors is backed by two key factors, which have been instrumental to the 11 years of uninterrupted coverage.

US Office
The New York office is key for marketing and sales activities in the US. We have two team members here and the operations are conducted together with our partner, Auerbach-Grayson & Co. With the help of our New York office we are able to reach a wide range of institutional investors across the US

Research Based Service
We believe research is vital, not only in making sound investment decisions, but also in ensuring the customer loyalty that we have enjoyed for more than a decade. Therefore, the services of the Institutional Sales department is backed with high quality research products and every single word emitting from the Institutional Sales department, is under the responsibility and control of the research team.

Sales and trading are the two main processes held in the Institutional Sales department that are at the core of the services rendered to Institutional Investors.

Sales
The sales activities are backed with high quality and solid research products. As stated before, we believe the most important factor to making sound investment decisions lies in the quality of research. The Institutional Sales team, thus, works very closely with the research team in forming investment strategies and in making beneficial decisions for institutional investors.

Trading
Speed and accuracy are the most important factors in trading activities. The Institutional Sales team boasts a state-of-the art electronic trading platform and also has floor brokers. These facilities coupled with the skilled abilities of the brokers, take the team one step further among other brokerage houses in the sector. With a trading experience of close to a decade in the equity market, the Institutional Sales team is able to secure better price averages for their clients.
Backed with strong research support and state-of-the art trading capabilities, the Institutional Sales department will continue to benefit from the growing international interest to Turkey's stock market.

We believe the Institutional Sales department's trading share will continue to expand, both in the market and within Ata Invest itself in 2006 and beyond.
