Description

With high inflation, keeping money in a current account means getting poorer every year. But many Pakistanis are understandably wary of the stock market after hearing stories of 'tips' gone wrong. This course takes a calm, structured approach: get your personal finances in order first, then invest with a plan.

Omer explains budgeting, savings instruments, Shariah-compliant options, mutual funds and direct PSX investing with worked examples in PKR. There are no stock tips here — instead you'll learn to evaluate companies and build a portfolio you understand.

Who this course is for

  • Complete beginners who want a structured, step-by-step start in PSX
  • Salaried professionals who want their savings to beat inflation, sensibly
  • Learners who prefer clear explanations in Urdu, with technical terms kept in English
  • Anyone who wants a verifiable certificate to add to their CV or LinkedIn profile

Clear, no-nonsense and refreshingly free of stock tips. The ratios module was excellent.

Explained in a very simple way. I wish there was more on pension and retirement planning.

Good overview of the PSX. More case studies of actual companies would make it even better.
