The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) will launch the KSE-100 Price Return (KSE100PR) Index on June 30, 2025. This new benchmark tracks only the price movement of companies listed on the KSE-100 Index, excluding the effect of dividend reinvestments.
According to PSX, the KSE100PR Index provides investors and analysts with a pure price-focused performance measure, offering a simplified view compared to the traditional KSE-100 Index, which includes both capital gains and dividend returns.
