Revenue model

1. Investment Fund Management Fees: Azimut Portföy generates revenue through management fees charged on investment funds it establishes and manages. These include standard investment funds, free funds (serbest fon), venture capital funds (girişim sermayesi fonları), and real estate investment funds. Fee structures vary by fund, with example management fees around 1.05%-1.575% annually (including BSMV) for certain funds. The company serves both domestic and international investors through these fund products.
2. Individual Portfolio Management Services: The company manages individualized portfolios for high-net-worth and qualified investors under portfolio management contracts, charging management fees based on assets under management. The service is targeted at investors with a certain amount of savings who want medium-to-long-term evaluation of their assets without following markets themselves.
3. Private Fund Setup and Management: Azimut Portföy establishes and manages bespoke private funds for qualified investors (individuals, families, family businesses, institutions, foundations, professional groups) under SPK authorization. The company acts as both founder and manager of these private funds, which are structured under umbrella fund platforms and benefit from privacy and tax efficiency.
