October 31, 2015

Letter to Stockholders (unaudited)PerformanceFor the year ended October 31, 2015, The Turkish Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) had total returns of -20.86%, based on netasset value, and -21.73% based on market value per share (including reinvestment of distributions), compared to its benchmark, theU.S. dollar adjusted MSCI Turkey Index (the “Index”)*, which returned -22.55%. On October 31, 2015, the closing price of theFund’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $8.61, representing a 13.2% discount to the Fund’s net asset value per share. Pastperformance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance• For the 12-month period, the Index returned -22.55%. In local currency terms, Turkish equities were largely unchanged, but

weakness in the Turkish lira was the main drag on U.S. dollar-based returns.

• The strongest contributor to performance was the Fund’s stock selection in the consumer staples sector, driven by holdings in achocolate and biscuit company as well as in a frozen food company.

• The Fund’s underweight allocation to the financials sector was also additive to returns, as were overweight allocations to both theenergy and consumer discretionary sectors. The financials sector was one of the worst-performing sectors over the period,down -31.36% in the Index, while the energy sector was the best performer over the period, up 21.69% in the Index.i

• Detracting from performance over the period was stock selection in the industrials and financials sectors. Within industrials,relative results were dampened by a holding in a construction company and by not owning an airport operator that performedwell. In financials, one of the Fund’s bank holdings underperformed, which detracted from returns.

Management Strategies• The Turkish economy has been experiencing a period of slowing growth and tightening liquidity, which we believe could be

prolonged. Turkey remains dependent on foreign capital, given its chronic current account deficit and high stock of externaldebt. As such, Turkey naturally remains vulnerable to any tightening global liquidity and/or change in investor sentiment.

• We think the perception of increasing political risk has been affecting the currency level and volatility, as well as equity marketvaluations over the last year. Parliamentary elections have been a particular source of volatility given concerns surroundingPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s continuing consolidation of power weakening the country’s institutions and its investmentclimate.

• We remain underweight in the financial sector in the portfolio. In particular, we think the profitability of the banking sector willcontinue under pressure; in addition, its reliance on external funding remains a risk. The Fund is underweight in banks, focusingon names with what we consider stronger balance sheet and niche players.

October 31, 2015

Letter to Stockholders (unaudited) (cont’d)• We maintain the Fund’s holdings in small- and mid-cap companies, which we believe may be poised to benefit from secular

growth opportunities in Turkey and regional export markets. We believe these stocks have attractive bottom-up drivers ofearnings growth and solid balance sheets. The Fund’s holdings in this area include a household appliances manufacturer, a tiremanufacturer, a glassware manufacturer, a biscuit and confectionary company, and a stationery supplier.

Sincerely,

John H. Gernon November 2015

between the last reported bid and asked prices are notreflective of a security’s market value, portfolio securities arevalued at their fair value as determined in good faith underprocedures established by and under the generalsupervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the“Directors”). Occasionally, developments affecting theclosing prices of securities and other assets may occurbetween the times at which valuations of such securities aredetermined (that is, close of the foreign market on whichthe securities trade) and the close of business of the NewYork Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If developments occurduring such periods that are expected to materially affectthe value of such securities, such valuations may beadjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of such securitiesas of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith bythe Directors or by the Adviser using a pricing serviceand/or procedures approved by the Directors;(4) quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assetsand liabilities and forward contracts stated in foreigncurrency are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at theprevailing market rates prior to the close of the NYSE;(5) investments in mutual funds, including the MorganStanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the netasset value (“NAV”) as of the close of each business day;and (6) short-term debt securities with remainingmaturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may bevalued at amortized cost, unless the Adviser determinessuch valuation does not reflect the securities’ market value,in which case these securities will be valued at their fairmarket value determined by the Adviser.

The Directors have responsibility for determining in goodfaith the fair value of the investments, and the Directorsmay appoint others, such as the Fund’s Adviser or avaluation committee, to assist the Directors in determiningfair value and to make the actual calculations pursuant tothe fair valuation methodologies previously approved by

the Directors. Under procedures approved by the Directors,the Fund’s Adviser has formed a Valuation Committeewhose members are approved by the Directors. TheValuation Committee provides administration andoversight of the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures,which are reviewed at least annually by the Directors.These procedures allow the Fund to utilize independentpricing services, quotations from securities and financialinstrument dealers, and other market sources to determinefair value.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value ofsecurities and other financial instruments for which marketprices are not readily available. Under these procedures, theValuation Committee convenes on a regular and ad hocbasis to review such securities and considers a number offactors, including valuation methodologies and significantunobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value.The Valuation Committee may employ a market-basedapproach which may use related or comparable assets orliabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, bookvalues, and other relevant information for the investmentto determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which theanticipated future cash flows of the investment arediscounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also beapplied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions onthe disposition of the investments. Due to the inherentuncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fairvalues may differ significantly from the values that wouldhave been used had an active market existed. The ValuationCommittee employs various methods for calibrating thesevaluation approaches including a regular review ofvaluation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions,transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, andreviews of any related market activity.

2. Fair Value Measurement: Financial AccountingStandards Board (“FASB”) Accounting StandardsCodificationTM (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement”(“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the value that the Fundwould receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer aliability in a timely transaction with an independent buyerin the principal market, or in the absence of a principalmarket the most advantageous market for the investmentor liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy todistinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptionsmarket participants would use in valuing an asset orliability developed based on market data obtained fromsources independent of the reporting entity (observableinputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’sown assumptions about the assumptions marketparticipants would use in valuing an asset or liabilitydeveloped based on the best information available in thecircumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establishclassification of fair value measurements for disclosurepurposes. Various inputs are used in determining the valueof the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized inthe three broad levels listed below.

• Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets foridentical investments

• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (includingquoted prices for similar investments, interest rates,prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs including theFund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value ofinvestments. Factors considered in making thisdetermination may include, but are not limited to,information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts,or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-tradedsecurities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements orother available documents and, if necessary, available

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities arenot necessarily an indication of the risk associated withinvesting in those securities and the determination of thesignificance of a particular input to the fair valuemeasurement in its entirety requires judgment andconsiders factors specific to each security.

— investment transactions and investment income at theprevailing rates of exchange on the dates of suchtransactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at theforeign exchange rates and market values at the close of theperiod, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the resultsof operations arising as a result of changes in the foreignexchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changesin the market prices of securities held at period end.Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes inforeign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising fromchanges in the market prices of securities sold during theperiod. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreigncurrency gains (losses) on investments in securities areincluded in the reported net realized and unrealized gains(losses) on investment transactions and balances.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactionsrepresent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from sales andmaturities of foreign currency forward exchange contracts,disposition of foreign currency, currency gains (losses)realized between the trade and settlement dates onsecurities transactions, and the difference between theamount of investment income and foreign withholdingtaxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollarequivalent amounts actually received or paid. Netunrealized currency gains (losses) from valuing foreigncurrency denominated assets and liabilities at period endexchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealizedappreciation (depreciation) in investments and foreigncurrency translations in the Statement of Assets andLiabilities. The change in unrealized currency gains (losses)on foreign currency translations on foreign currencytranslations for the period is reflected in the Statement ofOperations.

A significant portion of the Fund’s net assets consist ofequity securities denominated in Turkish lira. Changes in

currency exchange rates will affect the value of andinvestment income from such securities. Turkish securitiesare often subject to greater price volatility, limitedcapitalization and liquidity, and higher rates of inflationthan securities of companies based in the United States. Inaddition, Turkish securities may be subject to substantialgovernmental involvement in the economy and greatersocial, economic and political uncertainty.

4. Indemnifications: The Fund enters into contracts thatcontain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’smaximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.However, the Fund has not had prior claims or lossespursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss tobe remote.

5. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on thedate the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains(losses) on the sale of investment securities are determinedon the specific identified cost basis. Interest income isrecognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income anddistributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date (exceptcertain dividends which may be recorded as soon as theFund is informed of such dividends) net of applicablewithholding taxes.

B. Advisory Fees: The Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiaryof Morgan Stanley, provides the Fund with advisory servicesunder the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement,calculated weekly and payable monthly, at the annual rate basedon the average daily net assets as follows:

First $50 Next $50 Over $100 million million million

0.95% 0.75% 0.55%

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the advisory fee rate (netof rebate) was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.92% ofthe Fund’s average daily net assets.

C. Administration Fees: The Adviser also serves asAdministrator to the Fund and provides administrative servicespursuant to an Administration Agreement for an annual fee,accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.08% of the Fund’s averageweekly net assets. The Adviser has agreed to limit theadministration fee through a waiver so that it will be no greaterthan the previous administration fee of 0.02435% of the Fund’saverage weekly net assets plus $24,000 per annum. This waivermay be terminated at any time. For the year ended October 31,2015, approximately $7,000 of administration fees were waivedpursuant to this arrangement. Under a Sub-AdministrationAgreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank andTrust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certainadministrative services to the Fund. For such services, theAdministrator pays State Street a portion of the fee theAdministrator receives from the Fund.

D. Custodian Fees: State Street (the “Custodian”) and itsaffiliates serve as Custodian for the Fund. The Custodian holdscash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by theAct. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held incustody, investment purchases and sales activity and accountmaintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocketexpenses.

E. Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s intention tocontinue to qualify as a regulated investment company anddistribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision forFederal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries inwhich it invests. Such taxes are generally based on incomeand/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued andapplied to net investment income, net realized gains and netunrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned.Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency andare accrued based on the value of investments denominated insuch currency.

FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall, sets forth aminimum threshold for financial statement recognition of thebenefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a taxreturn. Management has concluded there are no significantuncertain tax positions that would require recognition in thefinancial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interestaccrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “InterestExpense” and penalties in “Other Expenses” in the Statement ofOperations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. InternalRevenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the taxyears in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015, remainssubject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from thecharacter of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes inNet Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated asordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character ofdistributions paid during fiscal years 2015 and 2014 was asfollows:

2015 Distributions 2014 Distributions Paid From: Paid From:

Long-Term Long-Term Ordinary Capital Ordinary Capital Income Gain Income Gain (000) (000) (000) (000)

$84 $1,290 $1,183 $16,177

The amount and character of income and capital gaindistributions to be paid by the Fund are determined inaccordance with Federal income tax regulations, which maydiffer from GAAP. These book/tax differences are consideredeither temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and taxtreatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) oncertain investment transactions and the timing of thedeductibility of certain expenses.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements andfinancial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control overfinancial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of theFund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a testbasis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Ourprocedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and others. Webelieve that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of The Turkish Investment Fund, Inc. at October 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changesin its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the periodthen ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)Nature, Extent and Quality of ServicesThe Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser (as definedherein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securitiestrading. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by theAdviser under the administration agreement, including accounting, operations, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, businessmanagement and planning, legal services and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Adviser’s expense. The Boardalso considered the Adviser’s investment in personnel and infrastructure that benefits the Fund. (The advisory and administrationagreements together are referred to as the “Management Agreement.”) The Board also considered that the Adviser serves a variety ofother investment advisory clients and has experience overseeing service providers. The Board also compared the nature of the servicesprovided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”).

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other keypersonnel of the Adviser who provide the administrative and advisory services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser’sportfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in anefficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative servicesprovided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported itsdecision to approve the Management Agreement.

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the FundThe Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as determined by Lipper, and toappropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achievedin managing the Fund. When considering a fund’s performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-termreturns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance as of December 31, 2014, or since inception, as applicable). Whena fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of suchunderperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Boardnoted that the Fund’s performance was better than its peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Boarddiscussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the “management fee”) for this Fund relative tocomparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to its peers as determined by Lipper. In addition tothe management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expense ratio. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee andtotal expense ratio were lower than its peer group average. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Fund’s (i) performance wascompetitive with its peer group average; and (ii) management fee and total expense ratio were competitive with its peer group averages.

Economies of ScaleThe Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund’s total expense ratio and particularlythe Fund’s management fee rate, which includes breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser’s profitability, the Boarddiscussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited) (cont’d)management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflectseconomies of scale as asset levels change. The Board considered that, with respect to closed-end funds, the assets are not likely to growwith new sales or grow significantly as a result of capital appreciation. The Board concluded that economies of scale for the Fund werenot a factor that needed to be considered at the present time.

Profitability of the Adviser and AffiliatesThe Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the lastyear from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley FundComplex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser andaffiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and profitability supports its decision toapprove the Management Agreement.

Other Benefits of the RelationshipThe Board considered other direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and/or its affiliates derived from their relationship with theFund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, fees for trading, distribution and/orshareholder servicing and for transaction processing and reporting platforms used by securities lending agents, and research received bythe Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading. The Board reviewed with the Adviser thesearrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser’s costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its reviewof the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the AdviserThe Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under theManagement Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser,including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managingthe Fund’s operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of theAdviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the ManagementAgreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

Other Factors and Current TrendsThe Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund’s ChiefCompliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere tohigh ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund’s business.

General ConclusionAfter considering and weighing all of the above factors, with various written materials and verbal information presented by theAdviser, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of theManagement Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single piece of

Investment Policy (unaudited)DerivativesThe Fund may, but it is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management,portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based, in part, on the value of anunderlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. Prevailing interest rates and volatility levels, among other things, alsoaffect the value of derivative instruments. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying asset and may haveadditional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by thecounterparty to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments,indices or interest rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid and risks arising frommargin requirements. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated withother portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques andrisk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments.

Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageousto do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations,or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Although the Adviser seeks to use derivatives tofurther the Fund’s investment objective, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.

Following is a description of the derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund may use and their associated risks:

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. In connection with its investments in foreign securities, the Fund also may enter intocontracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date. A foreign currency forwardexchange contract (“currency contract”) is a negotiated agreement between the contracting parties to exchange a specified amount ofcurrency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that arethe subject of the contract. The Fund may also invest in non-deliverable foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“NDFs”).NDFs are similar to other foreign currency forward exchange contracts, but do not require or permit physical delivery of currencyupon settlement. Instead, settlement is made in cash based on the difference between the contracted exchange rate and the spot foreignexchange rate at settlement. Currency contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currencyexchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, the Fund may use cross currency hedging or proxyhedging with respect to currencies in which the Fund has or expects to have portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency hedgesinvolve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency and may be used for hedging purposes or toestablish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. To the extent hedged by the use of currency contracts,the precise matching of the currency contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible becausethe future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of thosesecurities between the date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. Furthermore, such transactions may reduceor preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken. There is

Investment Policy (unaudited) (cont’d)additional risk that such transactions may reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in thedirection opposite to the position taken and that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities arenot denominated. The use of currency contracts involves the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to thecontract or the failure of the counterparty to make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract.

Futures. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying asset,reference rate or index at a specific price at a specific future time. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease intandem with the value of the underlying instrument. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settledthrough either physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount onthe settlement date. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures contracts involves the exercise of skill and judgment andeven a well-conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. In addition to thederivatives risks discussed above, the prices of futures contracts can be highly volatile, using futures contracts can lower total return,and the potential loss from futures contracts can exceed the Fund’s initial investment in such contracts. No assurance can be given thata liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. There is also the risk of loss by the Fund of margindeposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with which the Fund has open positions in the futures contract.

Special Risks Related to Cyber SecurityThe Fund and its service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that include, among other things, theft, unauthorizedmonitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential and highly restricted data; denial of service attacks;unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the Fund and its service providers use to service theFund’s operations; or operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the Fund andits service providers. Cyber attacks against or security breakdowns of the Fund or its service providers may adversely impact the Fundand its stockholders, potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses; the inability of Fund stockholders to transactbusiness and the Fund to process transactions; inability to calculate the Fund’s NAV; violations of applicable privacy and other laws;regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs; and/or additional compliance costs. TheFund may incur additional costs for cyber security risk management and remediation purposes. In addition, cyber security risks mayalso impact issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investment in such issuers to lose value. Therecan be no assurance that the Fund or its service providers will not suffer losses relating to cyber attacks or other information securitybreaches in the future.

Investment LimitationPursuant to the Fund’s investment restriction regarding concentration of investments in any one industry, the Fund will be requiredto invest between 25 percent and 35 percent of its total assets in the securities of issuers in one or more industries if, at the time ofinvestment, each such industry represents 25 percent or more of the Fund’s benchmark Index. At times the Fund may be under orover the described percentages above due to market appreciation or depreciation. During the period, Commercial Banks representedover 25 percent of the Index. The commercial banking business can be affected by general business, economic and market conditions,including, but not limited, to short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, deflation, money supply, fluctuations in both debt

Investment Policy (unaudited) (cont’d)and equity capital markets and the strength of the U.S. and foreign economies. Commercial banks may be subject to extensivegovernment regulation which can limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, theinterest rates and fees they can charge and the amount of capital that they must maintain. Changes to regulations, including changesin interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies can have a substantial and unpredictable effect on commercialbanks. Profitability can be largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and the rate of corporate and consumer debtdefaults, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers cannegatively affect the commercial banking industry. For example, an economic downturn that suddenly decreased property values,caused an increase in unemployment, or other events that negatively impact household and/or corporate customers could decreaseability to pay interest or principal on loans or cause a decrease in the demand for commercial banking products and services.Commercial banks also have been and may in the future be affected by increased competition, which could adversely affect the assetgrowth, profitability and/or viability of commercial banks.

Investment Policies/Temporary InvestmentsIt is the policy of the Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of Turkishcorporations. This policy may be changed without Stockholder approval; however, you would be notified in writing at least 60 daysprior to the implementation of any changes. The balance of the Fund’s investments will be short-term in nature pending investmentor reinvestment in Turkish equity securities and for working capital purposes relating to expenses and distribution requirements, willbe U.S. Dollar- and Lira-denominated debt securities consisting of investment-grade debt securities of U.S. issuers, obligations issuedor guaranteed by the U.S. government, finance company or corporate commercial paper rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody’sInvestors Service, Inc. or A-2 or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., andcertificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks regulated by U.S. federal or state authorities and Turkishgovernment bonds, notes and treasury bills and certificates of deposit in Turkish banks. The investment policies, limitations orpractices of the Fund may not apply during periods of unusual or adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. Suchmarket, economic, political or other conditions may include periods of abnormal or heightened market volatility, strained creditand/or liquidity conditions or increased governmental intervention in the markets or industries. During such periods, the Fund maynot invest according to its principal investment strategies or in the manner in which its name may suggest, and may be subject todifferent and/or heightened risks. It is possible that such unusual or adverse conditions may continue for extended periods of time.During such periods, to the extent deemed prudent by the Adviser in light of the volatility, limited liquidity and other factorsapplicable to the Turkish securities markets, the Fund may reduce it’s holdings of equity securities in Turkish companies to anunlimited extent and increase its holdings in such U.S. Dollar and Lira-denominated debt securities.

Foreign and Emerging Market SecuritiesInvesting in the securities of foreign issuers, particularly those located in emerging market or developing countries, entails the risk thatnews and events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. The value of the Fund’s shares may varywidely in response to political and economic factors affecting companies in foreign countries. These same events will not necessarilyhave an effect on the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets,which have historically been considered stable, may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to ongoing developments

Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets hasincreased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies andfinancial markets in other countries or regions.

Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic and market risks. There also may be greatermarket volatility, less reliable financial information, higher transaction and custody costs, decreased market liquidity and lessgovernment and exchange regulation associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreignmarkets, which have historically been considered stable, may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to ongoingdevelopments and changing conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financialmarkets has increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability ofeconomies and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries orforeign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular countryor countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers, and other protectionistor retaliatory measures. Economic sanctions could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchaseor sell securities or groups of securities for a substantial period of time, and may make the Fund’s investments in such securities harderto value. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental actions such as the imposition of capitalcontrols, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments ofcertain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors orindustries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which wouldadversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments maybecome less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund,particularly during periods of market turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value. Therisks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. Inaddition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged,the value of the investment will fluctuate with the U.S. dollar exchange rates.

Determination of NAVThe Fund determines the NAV per share as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE isopen for business (the “Pricing Time”). Shares generally will not be priced on days that the NYSE is closed. If the NYSE is closed dueto inclement weather, technology problems or any other reason on a day it would normally be open for business, or the NYSE has anunscheduled early closing on a day it has opened for business, the Fund reserves the right to treat such day as a business day andcalculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day, so long as the Adviser believes theregenerally remains an adequate market to obtain reliable and accurate market quotations. The Fund may elect to price its shares ondays when the NYSE is closed but the primary securities markets on which the Fund’s securities trade remain open.

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (unaudited)Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the Plan), each stockholder will be deemed to have elected, unlessComputershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Plan Agent) is otherwise instructed by the stockholder in writing, to have all distributionsautomatically reinvested in Fund shares. Participants in the Plan have the option of making additional voluntary cash payments to thePlan Agent, annually, in any amount from $100 to $3,000 for investment in the Fund shares.

Dividend and capital gain distributions (Distribution) will be reinvested on the reinvestment date in full and fractional shares. If themarket price per share equals or exceeds net asset value per share on the reinvestment date, the Fund will issue shares to participants atnet asset value. If net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the reinvestment date, shares will be issued at 95% of themarket price. If net asset value exceeds the market price on the reinvestment date, participants will receive shares valued at marketprice. The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market in connection with dividend reinvestmentrequirements at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Should the Fund declare a Distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agentwill purchase Fund shares for participants in the open market as agent for the participants.

The Plan Agent’s fees for the reinvestment of a Distribution will be paid by the Fund. However, each participant’s account will becharged a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred on any open market purchases effected on such participant’s behalf.Although stockholders in the Plan may receive no cash distributions, participation in the Plan will not relieve participants of anyincome tax which may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

In the case of stockholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, that hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the PlanAgent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the stockholder as representing thetotal amount registered in the stockholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are participating in the Plan.

Stockholders who do not wish to have Distributions automatically reinvested should notify the Plan Agent in writing. There is nopenalty for non-participation or withdrawal from the Plan, and stockholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoinat any time. Requests for additional information or any correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at:
