The framework aims to enhance governance, streamline operations, and ensure secure investment horizons, thus fostering retail penetration in the mutual fund industry. The new requirements have been developed after extensive consultation with stakeholders, including the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP), to align with best practices and ensure compliance with defined principles. These requirements specify the eligible categories of Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) under which Asset Management Companies (AMCs) can offer Investment Plans, including Fund of Funds, Fixed Rate\/Return, Sovereign Income, Asset Allocation Schemes, Capital Protected and Exchange Traded Funds. Operational requirements provide clear guidelines on the maximum number of Investment Plans, their duration, exposure limits, investment restrictions, and performance benchmarks.
