In 1958, Khadim Ali Shah Bukhari started KASB Securities with the vision to provide continuous innovation in financial products and services. Over the past 50 years, our organic growth into commercial banking, asset management and investment banking has established KASB as the leader in Pakistan 's financial services sector and it's only wealth management group.

In recognition of our vision, growth and standing in the domestic market, Merrill Lynch, one of the world's largest investment banks, joined hands with KASB in a technical affiliation to collaborate on research and investment banking opportunities, allowing us to leverage a global network of 56,000 professionals and one of the world's largest distribution networks to corporate investors for our clients. The synergies of the KASB/Merrill Lynch relationship have attracted international capital to Pakistan through strategic & portfolio investments, debt and equity capital issuance. Additionally, KASB and Merrill Lynch have jointly published research, sponsored international roadshows and investor conferences, while executing international corporate finance transactions for Pakistan 's corporations and the Government of Pakistan.
