Compare Indices

Use the index selector at the top of this page to choose up to 4 PSX indices for direct comparison. The page automatically generates a performance chart overlaying all selected indices, a Key Differences summary card for each, and a Fundamental Comparison table showing market cap, P/E ratio, dividend yield, average daily volume, and Shariah compliance status. Common comparisons include KSE-100 vs KSE-30, KSE-100 vs KMI-30, and KSE-100 vs KSE All Share.

The KSE-100 tracks 100 large-cap companies across multiple sectors (with sector caps to prevent any single industry dominating), representing approximately 80% of PSX market capitalization. The KSE-30 tracks only the 30 most liquid stocks, weighted purely by free-float liquidity rather than market cap. The KSE-30 is more concentrated in actively-traded names and more sensitive to trading volume shifts; the KSE-100 gives a broader read of the overall market.

The KSE-100 tracks the 100 largest PSX-listed companies regardless of Shariah status. The KMI-30 tracks only the top 30 Shariah-compliant companies, applying screening criteria (debt-to-asset thresholds, interest income limits, prohibited business activity screens) to exclude non-compliant names like conventional banks. The KMI-30 typically has heavier exposure to Fertilizer, Oil & Gas Exploration, and Cement — which produces different return patterns than the KSE-100 across market cycles.

The multi-index performance chart on this page plots normalized price action for up to 4 selected indices across five timeframes (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 5Y), making outperformance easy to spot. Leadership historically rotates between the KSE-100, KSE-30, and KMI-30 depending on which sectors dominate each index. To see returns over standardized periods for any single index, click the index name to open its dedicated page.

The AVG P/E column in the Fundamental Comparison table shows the aggregate Price-to-Earnings ratio for each selected index. The KMI-30 typically excludes the relatively low-P/E Commercial Banks sector, which often gives KMI indices a higher aggregate P/E than the KSE-100.

The Dividend Yield column in the Fundamental Comparison table shows the trailing-twelve-month aggregate yield for each selected index. Broad indices like the KSE-100 typically have moderate yields reflecting the overall market mix. For company-level dividend screening with sustainability filters across the full PSX universe, open the dividend screener .

The KSE-100 is a select benchmark tracking 100 large, liquid companies — representing approximately 80% of PSX market capitalization. The KSE All Share Index tracks every PSX-listed company (~530 companies), giving a broader read of the entire market. The KSE-100 is the most-quoted benchmark for market direction and is the index most products and funds track; the KSE All Share captures a wider segment but is less commonly used as a trading benchmark.

Shariah-compliant indices (KMI-30, KMI All Share) and conventional indices (KSE-100, KSE-30) often diverge because they have very different sector compositions — KMI indices exclude the heavily-weighted Commercial Banks sector and have higher exposure to Fertilizer, Cement, and Oil & Gas Exploration. Use the multi-index chart on this page to see the live comparison across your chosen timeframe.

Above the fundamental table, each selected index has a summary card showing:

• Number of companies — index constituent count
• Index value — current level
• Percentage change — daily price movement
• Market cap — total market capitalization of constituents
• Dividend yield — aggregate trailing yield
• Shariah exposure— percentage of the index's market cap meeting Shariah screening criteria

The Shariah Exposure metric is especially useful for comparing conventional indices against KMI benchmarks — it quantifies exactly how much of the broad market is excluded under Islamic screening criteria.

The Avg Daily Volume row in the Fundamental Comparison table shows average daily traded volume for each selected index, indicating where market liquidity is concentrated. The KSE-30, by construction, contains only the most liquid names and typically shows the highest average daily volume. Low-volume indices often see larger price swings per unit of capital flow.

The most commonly researched PSX benchmark matchups:

• KSE-100 vs KSE-30 — broad market vs liquid stocks
• KSE-100 vs KMI-30 — conventional vs Shariah-compliant
• KSE-100 vs KSE All Share — select benchmark vs full market
• KMI-30 vs KMI All Share — top 30 Shariah vs full Shariah universe
