Herkese Borsa offers advantageous commission rates that vary according to volume, along with account opening without a portfolio minimum and free live data tracking services.

In addition to analysis content provided by our expert research team within the platform, investors can benefit from İş Investment's capital market knowledge and experience through the option of investment advisory services. Investors can trade based on Net Assets or Margin in the application. Furthermore, they can perform operations such as transferring funds and collateral, and participating in public offerings through relevant menus, while also tracking past transactions through extensive reporting options. Users can also conduct transactions with Herkese Borsa accounts via Matriks Trader and İş Varant.

Launching Türkiye's first hedge fund is one of the most prominent examples of the products and services we have developed in line with our pioneering and innovative identity.

Since the beginning of trading İş Investment Warrants (İş Varant) on Borsa Istanbul in 2010, we hold the distinction of being the first domestic brokerage firm to offer brokerage warrants to investors and have been shaping the warrant market. In 2015, 2017, and 2020, we respectively conducted the first issuances of Oil, GBP/USD, and Cotton warrants on Borsa Istanbul. In the first quarter of 2021, our Dow Jones and S&P500-based warrants started trading on Borsa Istanbul, facilitating easier investment in foreign markets for warrant investors. During the same period, our İş Varant Mobile application was launched for investors. Through the app, investors can track İş Investment's issued warrants with real-time prices for free, select suitable warrants with the smart warrant filter, calculate target prices, and gain experience in warrants through educational content and demo account opportunities.

Our leadership in the first foreign company listing on Borsa Istanbul, being the first brokerage firm to issue finance bonds in public offerings, facilitating the first TL-denominated domestic private sector lease certificates (sukuk) public offering, and becoming the first liquidity provider on Borsa Istanbul are just a few examples of our pioneering activities that have strengthened our leading position in the sector with over a quarter century of experience.
