KASE to Launch Trading of Standard Prime Fund Units on August 3

The Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) announced that trading of units in the open-ended Standard Prime investment fund will begin on August 3, 2026. The fund is managed by investment company Standard, with unit prices quoted in tenge to two decimal places. The launch of this new instrument expands opportunities for Kazakh investors to allocate funds through collective investment schemes directly on the local exchange. Mutual funds allow retail investors to gain a diversified asset portfolio without having to pick individual securities themselves. For investors looking for alternatives to bank deposits or direct stock and bond purchases, the addition of new funds on KASE offers a fresh option to consider for their portfolio.
