Step 2 · Safe returns
National Savings: government-backed income
Compare CDNS schemes by rate, lock-in and estimated annual income for your amount.
Scheme Rate Tenure Payout Illustrative Annual Profit Eligibility Notes
Verify National Savings products
Check current eligibility, product terms and profit rates directly with the Central Directorate of National Savings before depositing.
Profit rates change when CDNS publishes revised terms. Verify the current product page and rate notice before investing.
Step 3 · Managed growth
Mutual funds: managed growth and liquidity
Screen SECP-regulated funds by risk, Shariah status, track record and minimum investment.
Verify fund data before choosing
Compare the current NAV, return period, risk profile and fees. This screen does not rank or endorse a fund manager.
Mutual fund returns are historical. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Step 4 · Equities
PSX sample: dividend and valuation data
Review a limited stock sample sorted by reported dividend yield. It is not a recommendation or a complete market screen.

What this site is

Pakistan savings and market data, with source dates

pakinvestlysis.com is a free education site for Pakistani savers comparing National Savings certificates, mutual funds, PSX stocks and gold. An automated pipeline attempts market-data refreshes during each trading day; event and monthly series update only when their publishers release a new value. The interface shows source dates and flags stale source groups when a refresh fails. The code is public, and the methodology page documents primary sources and labelled fallbacks.

The site is written and maintained by Abdul Ahad, a software engineer, not a licensed investment adviser. Nothing here is personalised financial advice or a recommendation to buy anything; use the source dates and original documents before relying on a figure.

FAQ

Pakistan investing questions

How much money do I need to start investing in Pakistan?
Minimum amounts differ by product and provider and can change. Check the current official product page, then compare fees, access and loss risk rather than choosing solely on the minimum.
Are National Savings better than mutual funds?
They solve different needs. National Savings products have stated profit terms and eligibility rules; mutual funds hold market assets, charge fees and can gain or lose value. Compare access, risk and time horizon rather than relying on one return figure.
Does the comparison include Islamic products?
The data includes funds marked Shariah-compliant by their providers. Verify the current fund documents and Shariah board disclosures before relying on that classification.
Is PSX investing risky?
Yes. Listed shares can fall sharply, remain below their purchase price and stop paying dividends. This site cannot assess whether that risk is suitable for a particular reader.
Can overseas Pakistanis invest?
The Roshan Digital Account supports remote access to Naya Pakistan Certificates, PSX stocks and funds. Read the overseas investor guide and verify eligibility with SBP.
How often are rates updated?
Collection schedules differ by source, and a failed fetch can leave the last successful value visible. Check the displayed cutoff and data-health warning, then verify the original publisher.
Educational content only. Values can fall as well as rise. Verify time-sensitive figures with the original publisher and read the provider's current terms.
