What TUYID - Turkish IR Society does

TUYID (Türkiye Yatırımcı İlişkileri Derneği / Turkish IR Society) is a non-profit professional association founded in 2009 in Istanbul, serving as the sole dedicated investor relations body in Turkey. It operates a membership model with 100+ corporate members spanning Turkey's largest publicly listed companies across banking, energy, telecommunications, retail, holding, automotive, and consumer goods, including Koç Holding, Sabancı Holding, Garanti BBVA, Yapı Kredi, Turkcell, THY, Tüpraş, BIM, and Hepsiburada. The society delivers its mission through four primary product lines: (1) the IR Certificate Program (currently 5th cohort, 30 seminars over 45 hours, LSTS-registered with SPL) providing officially recognized professional certification; (2) flagship events including the annual IR Summit (15th edition in 2026) and the IR Workshop; (3) the TÜYİD Development Platform, a bi-weekly online seminar series for members; and (4) research publications including the Borsa Trendleri quarterly report, Flow of Funds Report (with IHS Markit), TRY Flow Report (with BNY Mellon), and the Hissedar shareholder magazine.

Revenue is generated through four streams: corporate membership dues (subscription/recurring), certification program fees (₺92,000–₺114,000+VAT per participant), event participation fees, and Development Platform seminar fees (₺950/seminar or ₺10,000/year for non-members). Distribution is direct via the website (tuyid.org) and dedicated member-relations management, with the society holding quasi-official status through relationships with SPK (Capital Markets Board), BIST (Borsa Istanbul), MKK (Central Registry Agency), and SPL (Licensing Body). The organization is led by Chairman Kerem Tezcan, with Selin Sanver Nasuhoğlu as Secretary General, supported by 18 employees. International alliances with BNY Mellon, IHS Markit, and the UK IR Society extend its research and credentialing reach beyond Turkey.

Direct peers

• Deutscher Investor Relations Verband (DIRK): Germany's national IR association with similar member-driven model, awards program (Deutscher Investor Relations Preis), and standards advocacy. Operates the largest European IR community and is a structural peer for TÜYİD.
• Türkiye Kurumsal Yönetim Derneği (TKYD): Turkey's Corporate Governance Association, focused on adjacent issues to IR (board effectiveness, governance codes, ESG). Targets overlapping Turkish listed-company members and is a natural peer within the same domestic professional ecosystem.
• Australian Investor Relations Association (AIRA): Australia's national IR membership body providing certification (AIRA ERM), annual conference, and advocacy. Closely comparable in scale, regional remit, and product mix (events, training, research) to TÜYİD.
• Instituto Brasileiro de Relações com Investidores (IBRI): Brazil's main IR professional association, offering certification (CIBRIA), the IR Awards, and an annual congress. Comparable emerging-market professional society serving listed companies in a similarly volatile macro environment.
• Japan Investor Relations Association (JIRA): Japan's national IR association with IR certification, an annual conference, and member-driven advocacy. Comparable in offering a domestic IR credential registered with regulators — structurally similar to TÜYİD's SPL-registered program.
• National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI): The largest US professional association for IR practitioners, offering certification (IRC), annual conferences, and standards development. TÜYİD lists NIRI as an international partner, and NIRI serves as the global benchmark for IR professional bodies like TÜYİD.
• UK IR Society: The UK's national professional membership association for investor relations practitioners. Directly comparable to TÜYİD in mission, structure, and offerings (training, certification, events, advocacy). TÜYİD already has an official partnership with the UK IR Society.

Emerging players

• Bersay İletişim Danışmanlık: A Turkish IR-focused communications consultancy that is a current TÜYİD corporate member. Operates in the same domestic IR services niche from a commercial-services angle rather than a nonprofit association model, and competes for IR thought leadership in Turkey.

Regional players

• CFA Society Turkey: Local chapter of the global CFA Institute network, offering investment professional credentials and events in Turkey. Serves a partly overlapping financial professional audience in the same Turkish market, including many listed-company employees.

Broad incumbents

• Corporate Secretaries International Association (CSIA): International body for corporate secretaries and governance professionals with a broader remit than IR. Overlaps with TÜYİD's IR/governance training and standards work and serves a comparable listed-company audience.
