Karachi: In a recent quarterly review conducted by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), several adjustments have been made to the list of securities eligible for trading in the Cash Settled Futures (CSF) market. This review, concluded on December 31, 2025, aligns with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s (SECP) approved criteria.

The PSX, after analyzing data from the past six months, has announced changes that will take effect from the CSF-CAPR-2026 contracts. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), nine new securities have been added to the list of eligible securities, while nine others have been removed.

Incoming securities include notable entries such as Century Paper & Board Mills Limited (CEPB), Ghani Chemworld Limited (GCWL), and Hum Network Limited (HUMNL). These additions reflect the evolving dynamics of the market and the growing interest in these companies.

Conversely, outgoing securities include firms like Adamjee Insurance Company Limited (AICL), Crescent Steel & Allied Products Limited (CSAP), and Descon Oxychem Limited (DOL), which will no longer be part of the eligible list starting with the CSF-CAPR-2026 contracts.

The review has ensured that existing contracts, namely CSF-CFEB-2026 and CSF-CMAR-2026, will continue to be available for trading until their respective maturities, providing a stable transition for investors and traders. The PSX has committed to notifying relevant trading schedules in due course, ensuring that all concerned parties are well-informed of the changes.

This adjustment in eligible securities signifies a strategic move by the PSX to align with current market trends and investor interests, while maintaining a robust trading environment within the CSF market category.
