How to Track TEFAS Funds in Your Portfolio
TEFAS is Türkiye's central platform for mutual funds: hundreds of equity, fixed-income, precious-metal and hedge funds trade in one place. Funds offer effortless diversification — yet most investors leave two questions unanswered after buying: what does this fund add to my portfolio's risk, and how much does it overlap with what I already own?
The rhythm of fund prices: why you see "yesterday's" price
Unlike a stock, a fund has one price per day: the unit value computed after close is announced the next morning (usually around 09:00–09:30). The price you see at noon is really yesterday's close. Kuantile aligns with this rhythm: report emails go out in the evening after market close, using the fund's latest published price. The same lag applies to orders — today's purchase executes at tomorrow's (or a later day's) price depending on the fund.
You cannot manage risk without looking inside the fund
A portfolio of "a tech fund + US stocks + a BIST30 fund + a bank stock" can be far more concentrated than its owner thinks: if the tech fund's top ten holdings are already Apple-Nvidia-Microsoft, they stack on top of the Apple you hold directly. Two practical habits:
- Skim the fund's monthly portfolio disclosure report a few times a year; know its top ten by heart.
- Check the fund's correlation with your other assets in Kuantile's matrix. A value above 0.9 means the fund is selling you repetition, not diversification.
Tracking funds in Kuantile
Type the fund code (e.g. AFT, TCD) into "Add TEFAS fund"; price history is pulled from TEFAS, the fund is valued on the same TRY basis as everything else, and it enters VaR and stress tests. Two caveats: TEFAS data reaches back at most ~5 years, so funds may appear "not covered" in older scenarios like 2008; and a young fund's short history makes historical percentile statistics less meaningful.
Don't dismiss the fees
Total expense ratios run between 2% and 3.5% a year; over a decade that difference hands a serious slice of your return to the manager. Between two similar funds, picking the cheaper one is usually the most reliable "alpha" available.
