Access to income-generating assets on a global scale has so far been limited due to high entry costs, legal processes and operational difficulties. Turkey-based prop-fintech initiative Stakeholder will be introduced to the public at the Innovative Investment Summit to be held on May 6, with its model aiming to reduce these barriers. While the platform enables users to participate in the rental income and value increase potential of selected overseas real estate through the digital share model; It offers a more understandable and traceable framework for users by considering operational and legal processes within its own structure. Thus, users are presented with a simpler and more accessible experience in which they can participate in the economic benefits created by the relevant asset without taking on the responsibility of acquiring ownership.

The most critical question in investment: “How do I become a stakeholder?”

Beyond being an investment platform in the classical sense, the model offered by Paydaş is positioned as an access model where users can digitally participate in the economic benefits created by certain assets. Every opportunity on the platform; While the location, income structure, participation conditions and basic data are clearly presented, users can clearly see what they are participating in and within what framework.

Makes an inaccessible area accessible to everyone

The digitalization of real-world assets and the expansion of access approach highlighted in the World Economic Forum reports show that the area where Stakeholder is located is part of a global transformation.

Stakeholder was built in the light of these data on a structure that aims to eliminate the high entry costs, low liquidity and complex processes encountered in classical investment models. On the platform, users participate in the economic benefits of the relevant asset through the digital share model, instead of purchasing the entire property.

Stakeholder positions trust not only as a communication discourse but as the basic working principle of the sharing model. The process for each asset on the platform; It is defined together with property selection, legal evaluation, cost structure, revenue model and regular information flow. Thus, users can view not only the potential return; He can also clearly see which entity he is participating in, under what conditions and through what kind of structure. Central management of legal, tax and operational processes by Stakeholder reduces the complex burdens that users will have to undertake alone and makes the decision-making process more traceable and controlled.

Stakeholder Founding Partner and CEO Dr. Yusuf Eren Yalçın: “We want to make global property investment accessible to everyone”

Stakeholder Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Emphasized that the changing needs in the investment world are reshaped not only around access but also around trust and understandability. Yusuf Eren Yalçın evaluated the starting point of the platform with the following words:

 “Individual investors are now looking for different investment models that they can understand, follow and access safely, not just returns. Real estate has stood out as a strong and stable asset class for many years; however, access to income-producing properties abroad is still limited for the vast majority due to capital, information, legal infrastructure and operational requirements. As a stakeholder, we aim to eliminate these obstacles and make the asset class in question a more accessible, more transparent and more manageable structure. Our main priority is to increase property income participation through a completely digital and transparent model.” “to open it to a wider range of investors.”
