Category B membership of the Uzbek Republican Currency Exchange enabled Portfolio Investments to participate in exchange trading and operate in Uzbekistan’s government-securities market. The milestone strengthened the firm’s execution and post-trade capabilities for eligible clients.
According to Portfolio Investments’ company records, in July 2023 the firm was admitted as a Category B member of the Uzbek Republican Currency Exchange. The status enabled the firm to participate in exchange trading and conduct operations in Uzbekistan’s government-securities market within the applicable regulated framework.
The membership expanded Portfolio Investments’ market-access infrastructure beyond corporate securities. It added an execution route for government bonds and supported a more integrated client process covering onboarding, order handling, trade execution, settlement coordination and post-trade servicing.
For institutional and eligible private clients, the practical value lies in accessing government securities through a regulated local intermediary with established brokerage and custody capabilities. Product availability, suitability, pricing, liquidity and settlement timing remain subject to market conditions and the rules applicable to each client and instrument.
The milestone forms part of Portfolio Investments’ broader strategy to connect investment-banking advice with local-market execution. It also strengthened the firm’s ability to coordinate the operational stages that sit between an investment decision and final settlement in Uzbekistan’s regulated securities infrastructure.
