JS Global Capital Limited has announced that it has been granted a license by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) to act as a Securities Manager, marking a significant milestone in the company’s evolution as a leading financial services provider.
The license was issued under Sections 68 and 69 of the Securities Act, 2015, and the announcement was made in compliance with Sections 96 and 131 of the same Act, as well as Clause 5.6.1 of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Regulations. This authorization empowers JS Global to expand its suite of services, offering portfolio management and investment advisory solutions to its clients.
By securing this license, JS Global is now positioned to enhance its value proposition in Pakistan’s capital markets. As portfolio management and investment advisory become increasingly relevant in a rapidly changing financial landscape, the move allows the firm to provide comprehensive, one-stop solutions for a diverse base of clients. The development reflects not only JS Global’s ambitions but also the regulatory framework’s ongoing evolution in supporting investor-centric services.
Established on June 28, 2000, as a private limited company, JS Global has long been a key player in Pakistan’s financial ecosystem. The firm holds a Trading Right Entitlement Certificate (TREC) from the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX) and is also a member of the Pakistan Mercantile Exchange Limited (PMEX). Over the years, JS Global has built a reputation for offering brokerage services across shares, money markets, forex, and commodities, while also providing advisory, underwriting, book running, and consultancy services.
The firm’s business model extends beyond brokerage. JS Global engages in strategic investments in listed and unlisted equity, debt securities, and reverse repurchase transactions, reinforcing its presence across multiple asset classes. With the new license, the company is expected to integrate portfolio management with its existing operations, enabling clients to benefit from tailored investment strategies designed to balance risk and maximize returns.
Industry experts view this development as part of a broader trend in Pakistan’s financial sector, where established brokerage houses are diversifying their service lines in response to growing investor demand for professional wealth management and advisory solutions. The granting of the Securities Manager license to JS Global is therefore seen not only as recognition of its strong compliance record but also as an indication of the company’s readiness to play a larger role in shaping the future of financial services in Pakistan.
The SECP’s role in authorizing and regulating such expansions underscores its focus on transparency, investor protection, and market development. By ensuring that licensed entities adhere to global best practices, the regulator aims to build trust in Pakistan’s capital markets, attract new investors, and foster long-term growth.
For JS Global, the Securities Manager license is both an opportunity and a responsibility. It provides the firm with the capability to serve clients with higher-value offerings while ensuring compliance with the legal and regulatory standards that underpin Pakistan’s financial system.
This milestone strengthens JS Global’s legacy of providing diverse financial services and reaffirms its position as a key player in Pakistan’s capital markets, committed to driving innovation and growth.
