Property Fund & REIT Registration and Licensing (SECP)

Unlock Real Estate Investment Opportunities in Pakistan

Pakistan's real estate sector presents significant investment potential, and Property Funds, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), offer a structured and regulated avenue for capital deployment. Navigating the intricate regulatory landscape for their establishment and licensing requires specialized expertise. Javid Law Associates provides comprehensive legal and corporate services to facilitate the registration and licensing of property funds and REITs with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), ensuring full compliance from inception.

Regulatory Framework and Key Authorities

The establishment and operation of Property Funds and REITs in Pakistan are primarily governed by the SECP's REIT Regulations, 2015, along with other relevant corporate and securities laws. The SECP is the principal regulatory body responsible for authorizing and overseeing all collective investment schemes, including property funds. Additionally, compliance with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is crucial for taxation matters, while the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) may be involved in aspects related to foreign investment or repatriation. Our service ensures adherence to these multi-faceted regulatory requirements.
