乌古尔·伊尔马兹报道:土耳其市场监管机构下令,向部分正在清算基金中被套牢资金的投资者支付最高100万土耳其里拉(约合2.04万美元)的临时款项,以遏制这场已动摇该国金融市场的危机。
By Ugur Yilmaz Turkey’s markets regulator ordered interim payments of as much as 1 million liras ($20,400) to investors whose money has been trapped in some funds being liquidated as authorities try to contain a crisis that has shaken the country’s financial markets.
资本市场委员会表示,这些款项最初将覆盖由Tera Portfoy Yonetimi AS、Pusula Portfoy Yonetimi AS、Atlas Portfoy Yonetimi AS和Hedef Portfoy Yonetimi AS管理的基金。
The payments will initially cover funds managed by Tera Portfoy Yonetimi AS, Pusula Portfoy Yonetimi AS, Atlas Portfoy Yonetimi AS and Hedef Portfoy Yonetimi AS, the Capital Markets Board said.
根据委员会周三作出的决定,净持仓低于100万土耳其里拉的投资者,将获得与其投资金额相等的临时支付;净投资额较大的投资者,其临时支付上限为100万土耳其里拉。
Investors with net holdings of less than 1 million liras will be eligible for an interim payment equal to the amount of the investment, according to a board decision dated Wednesday. Those with larger net investments will be limited to 1 million liras.
此举是土耳其当局在上月赎回请求浪潮席卷该国基金行业后,首次尝试向投资者返还现金。
The measure marks the first attempt by Turkish authorities to return cash to investors after a wave of redemption requests engulfed Turkey’s fund industry last month.
该委员会于9月17日下令,对由七家投资组合管理公司管理的131只基金进行清算。据监管机构称,这些基金共有455,758名个人投资者,资产总额约为200亿美元。
The board on Sept. 17 ordered 131 funds managed by seven portfolio management companies to be liquidated. The funds had 455,758 individual investors with about $20 billion of assets, according to the regulator.
周三,由于基金危机导致伊斯坦布尔上市公司市值蒸发数十亿美元,土耳其股市进入熊市。伊斯坦布尔100指数周三下跌2.8%,收于11,947点,较5月初的峰值下跌21%。
Turkish stocks entered a bear market Wednesday after the fund crisis erased billions of dollars from Istanbul-listed companies. The Borsa Istanbul 100 Index fell 2.8% to 11,947 on Wednesday, down 21% from the peak in early May.
这些款项将被视为预付款,待基金清算完成后,投资者最终有权获得的金额将据此抵扣。中央证券存管机构将计算每位投资者的净投资金额。
The payments will be treated as advances against the amount investors are ultimately entitled to receive once the funds are liquidated. The Central Securities Depository will calculate each investor’s net investment amount.
监管机构表示,这些款项应“紧急”支付,并将首先从货币市场基金开始。
The regulator said the payments should be made “urgently” and will start with money-market funds.
委员会还明确了由A1 Capital Portfoy Yonetimi AS、Bulls Portfoy Yonetimi AS和Pardus Portfoy Yonetimi AS管理的基金的清算顺序。
The board also set out the order in which funds managed by A1 Capital Portfoy Yonetimi AS, Bulls Portfoy Yonetimi AS and Pardus Portfoy Yonetimi AS will be wound down.
其货币市场基金将首先被清算。在该组别内,投资者数量最多的基金将优先于投资者数量较少的基金进行处理。
Their money-market funds will be liquidated first. Within that group, funds with the largest number of investors will be dealt with before those with fewer investors.
监管机构表示,这三家公司的资金虽然尚未被清算,但在9月17日被暂停了购买和赎回功能;一旦清算程序完成,这些资金的功能可能会重新恢复。
Funds from those three companies that aren’t being liquidated but were suspended from purchases and redemptions on Sept. 17 may reopen once the liquidation process is completed, the regulator said.
此前,土耳其政府已指定土耳其伊斯银行(Turkiye Is Bankasi)负责监管Tera管理的基金,同时指定国有Ziraat Bankasi来管理另外六家投资公司管理的基金。
Turkey earlier appointed Turkiye Is Bankasi to oversee the liquidation of Tera-managed funds and state-owned Ziraat Bankasi to handle funds managed by the other six portfolio companies.
当局已展开刑事调查,冻结了与多家投资公司高管相关的资产,并采取了旨在稳定市场的措施。
Authorities have launched criminal investigations, frozen assets linked to executives at several investment firms and introduced measures aimed at stabilizing markets.
资本市场委员会前主席易卜拉欣·奥默·贡努尔(Ibrahim Omer Gonul)于周三以嫌疑人身份接受了伊斯坦布尔检察官的调查;Tera公司的高管埃丁·奥泽尔(Erdin Ozel)和埃米尔·穆尼尔·萨尔皮内尔(Emir Munir Sarpyener)也已被正式逮捕。此前,司法部长阿金·古尔莱克(Akin Gurlek)表示,在总共217名嫌疑人中,已有56人被逮捕。
Ibrahim Omer Gonul, the former chairman of the Capital Markets Board, gave testimony Wednesday as a suspect in the Istanbul prosecutor’s investigation, while Tera executives Erdin Ozel and Emir Munir Sarpyener were formally arrested. Earlier, Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said among 217 suspects, 56 people were arrested in the investigation.
此外,监管机构还暂停了Tera Yatirim Menkul Degerler AS的运营——这家经纪公司和资产管理公司是导致许多交易量较小的公司股票价格大幅上涨的幕后推手。土耳其银行业监管机构已于周三将Tera、Destek和Hedef投资银行的股东权益转移给了储蓄存款保险基金。
The board also suspended operations of Tera Yatirim Menkul Degerler AS, the broker and asset manager at the center of much of the suspect trading that drove massive gains in shares of thinly traded companies. Turkey’s banking regulator transferred shareholder rights in Tera, Destek and Hedef investment banks to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund on Wednesday.
