Our Story
128 Securities traces its roots to 1986, when the Late Mr. Akram Sultan Mahmood — the founding member of the Lahore Stock Exchange — established the firm as a bonds and securities business. His vision was to bring professional, client-focused investment services to Pakistani investors.
Seven years later, in 1993, the firm formally entered the equities market. By 1996, growing client demand drove the opening of a second office in DHA, Lahore. Today, under the Zaidi family's leadership, 128 Securities operates with full SECP registration and PSX TREC certification, serving clients from two Lahore offices with a modern digital trading platform.
