Sample SPK Sermaye Piyasası Araçları 2 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the SPK Sermaye Piyasası Araçları 2 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Communiqué II-5.1 on Prospectuses and Issuance Certificates, what are the three distinct documents that form a tripartite prospectus (üç parçalı izahname)?
A.Financial Statements, Board Evaluation Report, and Tax Clearance Certificate
B.İhraççı Bilgi Dokümanı (Issuer Information Document), Sermaye Piyasası Aracı Notu (Securities Note), and Özet (Summary)
C.Articles of Association, Trade Registry Gazette, and Independent Audit Opinion
D.Underwriting Agreement, Clearing Protocol, and Central Depository Registration
Explanation: II-5.1 permits a single prospectus or three parts: issuer information document, securities note, and summary. These distinguish information about the issuer, terms of the offered instrument, and an essential overview of information and risks.
2Under the Sales Communiqué (Sermaye Piyasası Araçlarının Satışı Tebliği II-5.2), when bookbuilding is conducted using a price range (fiyat aralığı ile talep toplama), what is the maximum permissible spread between the base price and the ceiling price?
A.The spread is capped at exactly TRY 5.00 per share
B.The ceiling price cannot exceed the base price by more than 20%
C.The ceiling price cannot exceed the base price by more than 50%
D.The ceiling price can be set at any level decided by the underwriter
Explanation: In price-range bookbuilding, the ceiling cannot exceed the floor by more than 20% of the floor. The calculation uses the lower price as its base rather than a fixed lira amount or a percentage of the ceiling.
3An issuer conducts an initial public offering using a price range with a base price (taban fiyat) of TRY 25.00. Under Communiqué II-5.2, what is the highest ceiling price (tavan fiyat) that can be set for the bookbuilding range?
A.TRY 37.50
B.TRY 30.00
C.TRY 35.00
D.TRY 27.50
Explanation: Under Article 13 of Communiqué II-5.2, the price range spread cannot exceed 20% of the base price. $\text{Maximum ceiling} = \text{TRY } 25.00 \times (1 + 0.20) = \text{TRY } 30.00$.
4Under the share-offering price-stabilization rules, what is the maximum stabilization period from the start of exchange trading?
A.Up to 7 calendar days
B.Up to 30 calendar days
C.Up to 90 business days
D.Exactly 1 calendar year
Explanation: The share-offering stabilization period may not exceed 30 days from the start of trading. This is a limited, disclosed mechanism rather than a promise to maintain the price indefinitely.
5During share-offering price stabilization, which buy-order price necessarily breaches the offering-price ceiling?
A.At the public offering price
B.Above the initial public offering price
C.Below the public offering price
D.At the closing price of the previous trading day
Explanation: Price stabilization aims to support the market price if it falls below the offering price. The manager is strictly prohibited from entering buy orders at a price higher than the public offering price, as that would artificially inflate the price above issue value.
6Which description best explains a share-borrowing over-allotment mechanism used with a share offering?
A.Free bonus shares granted to every subscriber after listing
B.Additional allocation using borrowed existing shares, with the position covered through permitted purchases or a contractual option
C.Automatic cancellation of unsold shares before bookbuilding ends
D.A permanent guarantee against a price below the offer price
Explanation: Borrowing shares permits an additional allocation but creates a position that must be covered. Permitted stabilization purchases or exercise of the agreed option can supply the shares; neither guarantees investors a return.
7Under Communiqué III-58.1 on Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities, what is the legal nature of an Asset Finance Fund (Varlık Finansmanı Fonu - VFF)?
A.A registered-capital investment company owning a diversified securities portfolio
B.A segregated pool of assets without legal personality, established exclusively to issue asset-backed securities (VDMK) backed by transferred receivables
C.A covered-bond program in which the issuing bank retains the dedicated assets
D.A discretionary portfolio held in separate accounts for individual clients
Explanation: An eligible founder establishes a VFF as a segregated pool without legal personality to back VDMK issuance. Its fund board administers it; appointing a board does not turn the fund into a company or make the board its founder.
8When selecting receivables for VDMK issuance under III-58.1, which assumption is unsafe?
A.Check the permitted asset classes and originator conditions
B.Check documentation and transfer requirements
C.Assume every invoice is eligible because it has a stated payment date
D.Check restrictions and encumbrances affecting transfer
Explanation: III-58.1 specifies eligible asset classes and inclusion conditions. A payment date alone does not establish eligibility: asset type, originator status, documentation, transferability, and applicable quality requirements also matter.
9What is the statutory bankruptcy-remoteness rule governing the assets of an Asset Finance Fund (VFF) under Capital Markets Law No. 6362 and Communiqué III-58.1?
A.Fund assets must be liquidated immediately if any single borrower defaults
B.Fund assets cannot be pledged, attached, or subject to bankruptcy for any debts of the originator or founder, even for public taxes, until all VDMK holders are paid in full
C.Fund assets automatically revert to the Turkish Treasury if the originator's share price drops 20%
D.Fund assets can be seized by the general creditors of the bank that originated the loans
Explanation: Law No. 6362 protects segregated fund assets from the founder's or originator's general creditors, including public claims, until the securities obligations are met. This does not guarantee underlying receivable performance or eliminate investors' credit risk.
10What is the primary difference between Covered Bonds (Teminatlı Menkul Kıymetler - TMK) under Communiqué III-59.1 and Asset-Backed Securities (VDMK) under Communiqué III-58.1?
A.Covered bonds give investors only a claim on transferred assets and no issuer claim
B.Covered bonds are direct issuer obligations with cover-pool recourse, whereas VDMK are issued against assets transferred to a fund
C.Covered bonds and VDMK always have identical recourse and accounting treatment
D.VDMK investors automatically become ordinary depositors of the originating bank
Explanation: TMK combine an issuer obligation with a dedicated cover pool, providing dual recourse. VDMK use a fund holding transferred assets; accounting derecognition and consolidation depend on the transaction's facts, so fund issuance is not automatically off-balance-sheet in every financial statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SPK Sermaye Piyasası Araçları 2 (1004) exam?

Module 1004 is a specialized examination covering advanced capital market instruments in Turkey: structured debt, securitization (asset-backed and covered bonds), Islamic lease certificates (sukuk), real estate certificates, warrants, investment firm certificates, depositary receipts, and issuance regulations. It is required for Düzey 2, Düzey 3, and Derivatives licences.

How does Module 1004 differ from Module 1003 (Sermaye Piyasası Araçları 1)?

Module 1003 is a separate instruments assessment; SPL introduced a revised study note and transition arrangements effective for all its sittings from 15 October 2026. Module 1004 independently covers issuance and sales, asset finance, lease certificates, real estate certificates, warrants, foreign instruments, project-backed securities, and collateralized issuance. Check the current SPL outline rather than assuming the two modules share one paper.

Does Module 1004 cover derivatives?

Module 1004 covers securitized derivatives such as warrants (aracı kuruluş varantları) and certificates. Exchange-traded futures, options contracts, and OTC swaps are covered in detail in Module 1011 (Türev Araçlar, Piyasalar ve Risk Yönetimi).

How is the Module 1004 exam scored?

The official exam has 25 questions in 45 minutes, scored on a scale of 0 to 100 (4 points per question). A candidate must score at least 50 points on the module, and achieve an overall arithmetic mean of 60 points across all subjects required for their target licence.

Can I sit Module 1004 independently?

Yes. SPL's e-LS system allows each subject to be booked, scheduled, and scored independently.

Is this practice bank an official translation?

No. OpenExamPrep provides an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation with four options per question. Official SPL e-LS examinations are administered in Turkish with five options. Key Turkish financial terminology is preserved for clarity.
