## Overview Turkey's fund-industry crisis is inflicting heavy losses on smaller, less-liquid stocks, widening a divide with large-cap names that have benefited from regulatory support (Bloomberg, September 25). ## Key Facts - Small-cap and less-liquid Turkish stocks are experiencing disproportionate selloff pressure compared to large caps (Bloomberg, September 25) - Large-cap stocks have reportedly benefited from regulatory support during the crisis, insulating them relative to smaller names (Bloomberg, September 25) - The crisis originates in Turkey's fund industry, suggesting redemption pressure or liquidity problems are cascading into equity markets ## Why It Matters The divergence between large- and small-cap performance signals structural stress in Turkey's asset management sector and potential systemic liquidity risk.
