Takasbank has issued a statement regarding allegations appearing in some media outlets concerning the TP2 fund belonging to Tera Portföy, which the Capital Markets Board (SPK) has decided to liquidate.
The bank announced that reports claiming Takasbank provided a loan to the TP2 fund, received stock collateral in return for this loan, and that the amount in question suffered losses in the fund do not reflect the truth.
The statement recalled that Takasbank operates as a central clearinghouse under the Capital Markets Law No. 6362 and is an investment bank subject to the Banking Law No. 5411.
Takasbank stated, "Our bank has not provided any loan to the TP2 fund. Since our bank has no debt relationship with the TP2 fund, neither the stock collateral mentioned in the news nor the alleged loss exists."
The bank also noted that the TP2 fund mentioned in the news did not carry out any borrowing transactions from the Takasbank Money Market.
The full statement is as follows:
