Published Law No. 7596 establishes a special and temporary regime aimed at ensuring the fair, transparent, and effective liquidation of certain investment funds decided to be liquidated by the decisions of the Capital Markets Board dated 17 September 2026, and at recovering assets unlawfully removed from the assets of these funds. The Law stipulates that the liquidation process of the funds within this scope shall be carried out by institutions tasked with liquidation under the supervision of the Capital Markets Board, and regulates the procedures and principles regarding the determination of fund share ownership and the making of interim or final payments by calculating net investment amounts according to CPI and WPI indexations. Furthermore, it allows values removed from fund assets in violation of legislation to be tracked and collected by the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund by applying the provisions of Law No. 6183 within the framework of personal liabilities.
It is envisaged that assets seized and confiscated values within the scope of investigations shall be transferred to the relevant fund or recovery account without being recorded as revenue to the Treasury, and paid to the rightful beneficiaries through the Investor Compensation Center. This regulation does not introduce a direct amendment to the Capital Markets Law No. 6362, but establishes a special liquidation and asset restitution process by referencing certain articles of the said Law.
