Islamabad :— Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has approved the issuance, circulation, and publication of the Prospectus for the Offer for Sale and Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Signature Residency REIT (SRR). The offering comprises 8,250,000 units, representing 25% of the REIT’s total units.
SRR is a Shariah-compliant developmental REIT Scheme managed by Arif Habib Dolmen REIT Management Limited, the REIT Management Company. The offer for sale is being made by the REIT Scheme’s existing unitholders, who are proportionately offering 25% of their holdings to the general public.
The IPO segment has demonstrated robust momentum during FY 2025-26. This offering marks the fifth listing on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Main Board so far this year. SRR will be the second REIT Scheme to list during the current financial year, bringing the total number of REIT Schemes listed on the PSX to five. This trend reflects revitalized issuer confidence in capital market financing and highlights the growing investment opportunities for the public.
The acceleration of listings on the PSX is instrumental in strengthening domestic capital formation, promoting financial inclusion, and fostering a culture of transparency and corporate governance. A vibrant capital market serves as a fundamental pillar for sustainable economic development by providing a direct conduit for long-term financing and supporting the government’s broader fiscal objectives.
The SECP has proactively revamped the Public Offering Regulations, 2017, to streamline the IPO process and enhance efficiency by reducing approval timelines. These reforms are focused on easing issuer access to capital and broadening retail participation through an improved IPO journey for both issuers and investors.
