KASB Securities Ltd, Pakistan's leading brokerage firm, has been ranked the Best Domestic Equities House in Pakistan by AsiaMoney, rounding off a fruitful 12 months for KASB, since bagging the same award last year.
Since then, KASB has been voted as the best research outfit in the AsiaMoney Brokers' Poll earlier this year, receiving over 50 percent of the votes and literally clean sweeping the individual sector categories by being ranked as the best in seven out the eight sectors polled by AsiaMoney. Testimony to the depth of services offered by KASB was their top ranking in equity sales trading and execution in the same poll.
Closer to home, KASB Securities was rated as Pakistan's Best Equity House by CFA Association of Pakistan in a poll of domestic institutional client during the CFA Excellence Awards 2010, while KASB's analysts grabbed the top 2 positions in the Best Research Analyst category, continuing a 5 year hold on the award.
The recognition both at home and abroad consolidate KASB's positioning as Pakistan's leading brokerage franchise and is an appreciation of the company's focus on providing clients with exceptional service and value-added investment recommendations and research. KASB (www.kasb.com) has been publishing joint Pakistan research with Bank of America - Merrill Lynch for over a decade and remains Pakistan's only brokerage house with an international research affiliation.
Nadir Rahman, Chief Executive of KASB Securities, commented on the latest award: "We are honored by the favorable reviews from clients and market participants regarding our services and thank AsiaMoney Magazine for the recognition. The award is reflection of the hard work and commitment of the entire KASB team in some truly unusual times over the last couple of years where so much has changed in equity markets and the global economy in such a short span of time. I'm delighted to see our combined efforts pay off'.-PR
