Under the new framework, asset management companies (AMCs) can now sell ETFs directly to investors, bypassing traditional stockbrokers, and even open brokerage accounts for them. AMCs will also be allowed to share a portion of their ETF management fees with brokers who help distribute these funds, aligning incentives to further lower investor costs and expand market outreach. The roadmap, developed with input from the PSX, NCCPL, CDC, MUFAP, brokers, and AMCs, will roll out in phases. For the first time, securities brokers will be allowed to launch and manage ETFs themselves, a move aimed at reducing costly multi-layered management structures and increasing product variety in the market.
