Fund Manager & Financial Adviser
During my high school years, I developed a strong interest in financial investment and the financial markets. This was the beginning of my extensive financial education and my real entry into the financial world. After several intense years of learning and gaining experience, I sought to bring my expertise into the professional field during my first year at university, where I was studying Business Management. I became one of the youngest individuals in Turkey to pass all the Advanced Level Capital Markets Licenses, which are the only and most prestigious licenses required to operate in portfolio management and finance in Turkey, similar to the global CFA license. When I received my licenses, I was only in my second year of university, but I was already receiving internship and part-time job offers from senior departments of banks, portfolio management companies, and the finance divisions of global corporations. As I aimed to make the most of these opportunities, I completed my third year of university education.
That same year, as my financial market investments and the fund I was managing reached a point where they could no longer be managed on a part-time basis, and my desire to focus more on my investments by establishing a private company grew, I decided to leave traditional university education. Instead, I pursued online degrees from Harvard and Istanbul University, which offered me greater flexibility and fewer obstacles. I now have approximately 8 years of active market and trading experience, with the last 5 years spent in the professional financial sector and fund management. In addition to fund management, I have expanded my service offerings by providing financial and art investment advice, allowing me to reach a broader audience.
