The new digital system would make it simpler for investors and non-resident Pakistanis (NRPs) to invest in the stock exchange by providing a single entry point into the capital markets. At the portal’s opening ceremony, SECP Chairman Amir stated that the company is steering the asset and the EMLAAK platform, as the country’s first digital distribution and aggregator platform, is a key step toward expanding investor outreach and improving customer experience. He claims that the internet platform would enable investors to make informed decisions using available statistics and an interactive user interface without physically contacting asset management organisations.
