ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has made investment in mutual funds easier for small investors by simplifying digital account opening and increasing investment limits for low-risk mutual fund accounts. The reforms are aimed at encouraging broader retail participation and aligning mutual fund investment practices with Pakistan’s evolving digital financial services landscape. The SECP has issued a circular under which the investment limit for Sehl Accounts has been increased to PKR 1 million from the earlier limit of PKR 200,000, while Sahulat Accounts can now facilitate investments up to PKR 3 million, compared to the previous limit of PKR 1 Million.
