Quick Sigorta maintains its leadership position in financial insurance with new products. For the first time in the history of Turkish capital markets, a security has been issued with insurance coverage. The issuance was conducted on 5 November 2020, and rose 15 million TL funding. Issued under the code TRPPAMFK2120 ISIN, the asset-backed security (VDMK) was issued with one-year term. “In accordance with the strategy of our Ministry of Treasury and Finance to grow in non-bank areas and with the aim of reinforcing capital markets, we plan to provide support for companies who have not been able to reach capital markets for several reasons. In doing so, the companies will be able to diversify their resources to fund themselves. Corporate investors in Turkey have an overal fund size of billions of TL; however, thousands of companies in our country cannot reach those funds due to lack of trust between fund owners and companies who need funding. This is where Quick Sigorta comes into the picture, and ensures that investments are funded through capital markets by insuring securities,” said Ahmet Yaşar, CEO of Quick Sigorta.

Insurance market might provide billions of TL worth of guarantee to capital markets

Ahmet Yaşar stated that insurance market should contribute to the target of bringing new actors in capital markets during 2021. “We will insure the issuance of 300 million TL worth of capital market tools on our own. Therefore, companies that did not have a chance to access markets earlier will be introduced to capital markets. If we can build a co-insurance structure with other non-life companies, the guarantee amount can reach a few billion TL. To that end, we are ready to lead the market and let them use our know-how in this area,” he said.
