Net buying and selling by foreign investors, mutual funds, banks, insurers, companies and individuals, and which group is driving the market. Updated 6 Nov 2026.
On 6 Nov 2026, foreign investors (foreign corporates, foreign individuals and overseas Pakistanis together) were net sellers of Rs 481.2 million. Among all investor groups, the largest net buyer was mutual funds (Rs 1.05 billion) and the largest net seller was banks / dfis (Rs 343.7 million). Every share bought is sold by someone else, so the groups always add up to roughly zero; what matters is who is on which side.

FIPI (Foreign Investors Portfolio Investment) is the net buying or selling of Pakistani shares by foreign investors. LIPI (Local Investors Portfolio Investment) covers local groups: individuals, companies, banks and DFIs, mutual funds, insurance companies, NBFCs, brokers trading their own book and other organisations. The figures are published daily by the National Clearing Company of Pakistan (NCCPL) after the market closes.
Institutions such as mutual funds, insurers and banks move large amounts of money and often act on research, so a steady run of their buying can support the market for weeks. Foreign flows are watched closely because they react to the rupee, interest rates and Pakistan's country risk. Individuals tend to follow momentum. When institutions buy while individuals sell, the market has often been near a low; when individuals chase a rally that institutions are selling into, it has often been late in the move. The dashboard above shows the flow regime, sector flows by investor type and the longer history.

Every trade has a buyer and a seller, so net buying by one group is matched by net selling from others. The useful information is which groups are buying and which are selling.
It changes over time. On 6 Nov 2026 the largest net buyer was mutual funds and the largest net seller was banks / dfis. The dashboard shows the regime over recent weeks.
