Pakistan Mercantile Exchange Limited (PMEX) has launched the Sahulat Account, a highly simplified trading account that allows Pakistani residents to enter regulated Futures Trading quickly and conveniently. PMEX is the only commodity futures exchange in Pakistan, licensed and regulated by the SECP.
The Sahulat Account sets a maximum investment limit of PKR 1 million. It does not allow leverage, so traders’ exposure is limited to their deposited funds.
The Sahulat Account removes common barriers to entry to commodity futures trading. It offers exceptional ease of account opening, allowing investors to open an account online through any PMEX-registered broker using only their CNIC.
Investors can upgrade their Sahulat Account to a standard trading account to increase limits or access higher exposure once they complete the required regulatory and documentation procedures.
“The Sahulat Account reflects PMEX’s commitment to expanding regulated Futures Trading through a clearly defined framework that prioritizes accessibility and investor protection,” said Mr. Khurram Zafar, CEO and MD of PMEX. “The Sahulat Account enables individuals to participate in regulated Futures Markets without leverage and within firm exposure limits, offering a simpler, lower-risk entry point — with the option to transition to a regular trading account upon completing the required onboarding and risk assessment.”
