Standing out in Turkey with its innovative additions to the investment fund landscape, the Boğaziçi Ventures group breaks new ground once again by introducing the sports theme. The BV Portföy Sports Industry Variable Fund, the first fund in Turkey to invest in the sports industry, is now available to all investors on TEFAS under the code SPR.

Following the establishment of Turkey’s first Gaming and Technology Variable Fund, BV Portföy Yönetimi now brings the sports economy into the investment fund world. Embracing an active management strategy, the Sports Industry Variable Fund (SPR) will closely monitor sporting events and developments, investing in both domestic and international equities. As Turkey’s first variable fund focused on the sports industry, it aims to capitalize on the rapidly growing and evolving dynamics of the sports sector. Designed specifically for investors, SPR will offer a diversified portfolio including investments in sports clubs, sports technologies, sports equipment, sports media, and the entertainment industry. With its professional management and diversified portfolio strategy, the fund is built to provide investors with high return potential by leveraging innovation and growth opportunities within the sports world.

BV Portföy General Manager Aktuğ Alimoğlu commented:

“Especially in the post-COVID period, interest in sports (and e-sports) events and organizations such as the World Cup, European Football Championship, Champions League, Formula 1, and the Olympics has significantly increased. Just the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix was watched by 1.3 million people. The Super Bowl attracts an average of 115 million viewers every year. We wanted to add the rapidly expanding world of sports to our investors’ portfolios. After being the first to introduce the Gaming and Technology Variable Fund, which offered investors access to the high potential of the gaming ecosystem, we are now providing access to leading companies in the sports economy. Including the world of sports in the investment fund universe aligns perfectly with BV Portföy’s innovative vision.”

BV Portföy continues to offer a diversified investment portfolio through its venture capital investment funds, pre-IPO-focused venture funds, and other innovative fund structures that target a wide range of sectors and themes.
