The PSX allows you to own profitable businesses. These businesses grow their earnings over time (Capital Growth) and share profits with you (Dividends). National Savings only provide a fixed interest rate.

DSC is a 10-year investment scheme by National Savings where the profit is paid at maturity. It is one of the most popular fixed-income investments in Pakistan.

Retirees often prefer National Savings (Behbood) for guaranteed monthly income. However, holding some high-dividend PSX stocks (like HUBC, ENGRO, or MCB) can help protect their purchasing power against inflation.
