What are Commission Slabs?
Commission slabs are the fee structures charged by brokers when you buy or sell stocks on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Understanding these fees is crucial for calculating your actual investment costs and returns.
How Commission Slabs Work
Brokers typically charge commissions based on:
- Transaction value (percentage of trade amount)
- Fixed fees per transaction
- Additional regulatory charges (CDC, SECP, PSX fees)
Optimizing Your Trading Costs
To minimize commission impact on your returns:
- Compare broker commission rates
- Consider transaction size (larger trades may have better rates)
- Factor in all costs when calculating potential profits
- Use PSX PORTFOLIOS to accurately track all deductions
