From Personal to Private Fund
Our Story
Roka Capital's story began with the management of my own personal wealth. After consistently sharing my investment results and philosophy, friends and family took an interest, asking me to manage capital on their behalf. This collaborative spirit led us to the next step: establishing an official fund dedicated to our shared long-term goals.
Aligning Interests
Aligning interests with our partners is fundamental. That’s why I will invest nearly all of my personal wealth into the fund, ensuring my incentives are fully aligned with those who join us. Fees are earned only for real value creation: a High-Water Mark performance fee structure guarantees we only profit when our partners do.
The Next Step
Our goal this year is to establish a formal private fund under a licensed portfolio management company in Turkey. We will then open to new accredited investors who share our philosophy, partners who believe in building enduring wealth, not chasing fleeting trends.
Our Core Philosophy
We are not speculators; we are business owners. Our approach is built on discipline, patience, deep fundamental research, and a relentless focus on capital preservation and long-term compounding. We buy high-quality companies at prices that provide a significant margin of safety, committing to a prudent, principled path rather than chasing trends. We believe that the market is a tool to serve us, not to instruct us.
