KARACHI:


To increase investor base and bring it at par with regional countries, the country’s stock exchanges will commence a nationwide investor awareness programme in the second half of calendar year 2012, says a statement released by Karachi Stock Exchange on Friday.


The key characteristic of this programme is to focus on personal financial planning for individual investors and show how a systematic and dedicated financial planning process can help investors achieve their long term goals.

The aforementioned programme envisages to expand outreach and awareness of the financial services industry, enhance market confidence and reduce investors’ vulnerability to fraudulent investment schemes.

The programme intends to increase Central Depository Company’s investor base to 500,000 by the end of the calendar year 2014.
