The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has concluded its 2025 Mutual Fund Focus Group Session in Karachi, held under the theme “Mutual Funds as Catalysts for Financial Inclusion and Economic Growth.” The SECP said the insights and recommendations from the two-day engagement will be taken forward into its reform agenda and used to guide future policy work for Pakistan’s mutual fund ecosystem. Structured into eight thematic sessions, the focus group brought together industry participants to discuss regulatory challenges, innovation priorities, digital transformation, governance practices, and investor inclusion. The discussions also surfaced domestic policy gaps and benchmarked Pakistan’s mutual fund market against international practices, with comparative input from global mutual fund markets; the second day was opened by SECP Commissioner Muzaffar Ahmed Mirza and closed by Commissioner Zeeshan Rehman Khattak, who underscored that stakeholder feedback would directly shape SECP’s regulatory development efforts.
