Summary/Abstract: The concept of capital is one of the factors that remains important at all stages of a business. However, for most of the enterprises, access to capital needed to start a business or to finance the growth stage of company is not always possible. Especially, early stage ventures deemed to have high growth potential but insufficient collateral have difficulties in raising capital by traditional funding methods. The need for alternative funding resources has stimulated the development of new practices and structures in order to encourage entries and support ventures survival. Relevant financial institutions in this context are venture capital investment trusts (VCIT), that undertake a key role in economy by providing funding resources to high growth potential ventures that have obstacles in acquiring capital. In this study, liquidity and profitability performance of VCIT traded on Borsa Istanbul (BIST) were analyzed using COPRAS method. In this context primarily, data from financial statements for the period 2013-2015 have been used to calculate financial ratios. Subsequently, calculated ratios have been analyzed using COPRAS method.
