JS Global Boosts Investor Participation at PSX, Adding Over 26,000 New Accounts in 2025

Karachi, January 19, 2026: Pakistan’s capital markets witnessed notable growth in 2025, with JS Global Capital Limited playing a significant role in expanding the investor base. The brokerage added more than 26,000 new equity accounts during the year, accounting for nearly a quarter (24.55%) of the 107,061 new investors who joined the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
This increase follows JS Global’s successful financial literacy and investor awareness initiatives, which aimed to make investing accessible and understandable for a wider audience. The programs focused on engaging young professionals, household women, and Gen-Z investors, presenting the stock market as a practical avenue for long-term financial planning rather than a complex or risky endeavor.
The growth also reflects improving market conditions and positive investor sentiment toward the PSX, signaling a gradual broadening of Pakistan’s investment culture.
Muhammad Khalil Ullah Usmani, CEO of JS Global Capital Limited, noted, “The response from new investors shows growing confidence in the stock market and highlights JS Global’s role in strengthening the PSX. Our efforts to promote informed, goal-based investing, along with our robust digital platform and enhanced customer experience, were pivotal in enabling this mass onboarding. Building on these strengths, we remain committed to introducing further enhancements for our investors.”
The year saw the PSX’s overall investor base increase by roughly 30%, from 357,419 to 464,480 accounts, with JS Global contributing nearly a quarter of that growth. This trend indicates deeper market participation and a strengthening culture of shareholding in Pakistan, with brokerage firms like JS Global playing a central role in promoting financial literacy, investor education, and inclusive access to capital markets.
