The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is launching the KSE-100 Price Return (KSE100PR) Index, a new benchmark that tracks only the price changes of KSE-100 companies, excluding any reinvested dividends.
The index will go live on PSX platforms from June 30, 2025.
This newly introduced index offers a focused tool for traders and analysts by isolating stock price movements without the impact of dividend reinvestments.
It complements the existing KSE-100 Index, which remains the official benchmark and includes both price appreciation and dividend reinvestments.
The KSE100PR Index is designed to serve those looking for pure price-based performance analysis, while the traditional KSE-100 Index continues to provide a more comprehensive view through total return tracking.
PSX stated that both indices serve distinct purposes and align with global best practices aimed at increasing market transparency and empowering smarter decision-making.
