Karachi \u2014 06 November 2025:<\/b>\u00a0JS Investments Limited<\/a> (JSIL) has been upgraded to AM1 (Stable) by The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA), the highest Asset Manager quality rating in Pakistan. The upgrade reflects JSIL\u2019s ongoing elevation in governance and operational quality, a research-driven investment process delivering strong risk-adjusted performance, and broader retail participation through digital channels and pensions solutions.<\/p>\n

As of end-September 2025, JSIL\u2019s AUM increased ~50% YoY with an estimated ~3.72% market share. Advisory\/SMA mandates contribute meaningfully to scale, while earnings momentum remains robust (management fee income +132% in 9M-CY25; PAT ~PKR 370m). Investor concentration has continued to decline, supported by recurring inflows from provincial pensions, digital onboarding, and expanding Wealth Centers.<\/p>\n

Iffat Mankani, CEO, JS Investments, said: \u201cAM1 is an important validation of our governance standards, research depth, and client-centric execution. We will keep scaling digital access, pensions, ETFs, and outcome-oriented products so more savers can invest confidently across cycles.\u201d<\/p>\n
