If you are a retail investor looking to invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) in Bangladesh, the landscape has just been updated. The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Public Offer of Equity Securities) Rules, 2025 introduces clear guidelines on how you can participate, how shares are allocated, and what rights you have.
​
Here is everything you need to know about applying for an IPO under the new rules.

1. Am I Eligible? (Know Your Category)

• General Investor (GI): This includes any standard retail investor resident in Bangladesh.
• Non-Resident Bangladeshi (NRB): If you are a Bangladeshi citizen living abroad (or have dual citizenship/valid foreign passport), you have a specific quota reserved just for you.

You must have a BO Account to apply for any IPOs. Open one today. 

2. How Many Shares Are Reserved for Me?

The number of shares available to you depends on the method the company uses to go public.

3. How is the Price Determined?
​
• Fixed Price Method: The company sets one price (e.g., 10 Taka or a higher premium price). You apply at this specific price.
• Book Building Method: "Eligible Investors - EIs" (like Stock Dealers, Asset Manager and Merchant Bankers) bid to set the price. You do not participate in the bidding. Once they determine the "Cut-off Price," you are offered shares at that price. For example: If the EIs determine that the price per share is Tk. 55, then all General Investors and NRBs will also apply for Tk. 55 per share.

4. The Application Process

When a company gets approval to go public, here is the timeline you need to watch:

• Prospectus Publication: The company publishes a detailed document (prospectus) about their business.​
• Subscription Window: The subscription period usually opens 5 working days for General Investors. This typically starts shortly after the prospectus is published (specifically, 10 working days after the abridged version is published).
  
• Making the Payment: You must deposit the full subscription amount in advance. Simply log into your Midway Portal and apply for IPO.

5. How Are Shares Allotted? (The Lottery System)

This is a critical update in the 2025 rules. While big institutional investors might get shares on a pro-rata basis, retail investors are subject to a Lottery.

• Rule: In case of over-subscription (which is common), equity securities for General Investors and NRBs shall be allotted on a lottery basis.
​
• Refunds: If you are not lucky in the lottery, your subscription money will be refunded into your BO Account.

6. Can I Sell My Shares Immediately?
​
• General Investors: Generally, there is no lock-in period mentioned for standard General Investors in the new rules. You are typically free to trade once the shares are listed.
• NRBs: Be careful here. The rules state that shares held by a Non-Resident (NR) are subject to a 1 (one) year lock-in. You may need to hold your shares for a year before selling.

7. Summary Checklist for Success

Simply follow our Facebook Page, our dedicate IPO page and your Midway Portal for latest IPO news, subscription date, etc. . 

• Check the Method: Is it Fixed Price or Book Building?
• Check the Dates: You usually have a 5-day window to apply.
• Check Your Category: Apply as NRB if you qualify to access the reserved 7-10% quota.
• Deposit Funds: Ensure your BO account has sufficient funds for the full application amount.

The Alternative Trading Board (ATB) is a separate Trading Board created by the Dhaka Stock Exchange PLC (DSE) designed to digitalize and facilitate the trading of securities that are not listed on the Main Board. It is meant for an alternative transfer system of ownership of any securities or units of any fund and only for investment or disinvestment purpose.

Initially, the main Asset classes which will be made available on the ATB are:

• Equity Securities 
• Debt Securities
• Open-End Mutual Funds
• Alternative Investment Funds

Equity Securities: The issuer of an unlisted or de-listed equity securities may avail the listing and trading facilities at the ATB. Initially, most of these Securities may be the same Securities trading on the DSE’s Over-The-Counter (OTC) Board. Since the OTC Board is an inefficient market, The ATB will offer respite for both issuers and shareholders.

Debt Securities: The issuer or originator of an unlisted or de-listed debt securities or Asset Backed Securities (ABS) or Islamic Shari’ah Based Securities (ISBS) may avail the listing and trading facilities of its securities at the ATB.

Open-End Mutual Funds: The Asset Manager of an unlisted open-end mutual fund may avail the listing and facilities of sale or redemption (repurchase) of its units at ATB

Alternative Investment: The fund manager of an unlisted alternative investment fund may avail the listing and facilities of trading of its units at ATB.

There are some unique Trading regulations under the Alternative Trading Board Regulations, 2022.

​Trading Rules:

• Any investor can trade on the ATB through their BO account. 
• Settlement of all equity securities transactions will be on a T+4 basis. 
• There is no Margin Loan facility for all instruments listed here apart from Open-End Mutual Funds. 

Price Movement:

• On the first trading day, the circuit breaker will be 5% of the fair value.
• From the second and subsequent trading day, the regular circuit breaker will be 5% based on the previous day's closing price. 
• The price of any equity security traded on the ATB cannot vary by more than 30% of it Fair Value. 

Company Requirements:

• The issuer of unlisted securities cannot be listed on the ATB if the company has raised its paid-up capital, except through the issuance of bonus shares from retained earnings, within the two years preceding the application date to the stock exchange(s). 

Listing Application:

• The issuer (unlisted company) applies to the exchange for listing on ATB.

Minimum Requirements:

• No minimum paid-up capital is required for listing on the ATB.

Shareholder Selling Requirements:

• For Equity Securities, primary shareholders (including sponsors and directors) must offer for sale at least 10% of their holdings within 30 days of trading commencement. They can sell up to a maximum of 49% of their holdings. 
• If the company is transferred to ATB by the Commission's direction (regulatory body), there are no restrictions on share offloading by primary shareholders (except sponsors and directors).
• Primary shareholders, sponsors, and directors must collectively hold at least 51% of the ordinary shares at all times. 

​
Additional Note:

• After six months from the first trading day, if no trades occur, the seller can determine the offer price at any value but not exceeding the fair value.

​বাংলাদেশের শীর্ষস্থানীয় ফার্মাসিউটিক্যাল কোম্পানি Renata PLC নতুনভাবে মূলধন সংগ্রহের উদ্যোগ নিয়েছে। কোম্পানিটি Non-Cumulative, Non-Participative, Fully Convertible Preference Share ইস্যুর মাধ্যমে ৩২৫ কোটি টাকা (BDT 3,250,000,000) তুলতে যাচ্ছে।

👉 এই সাবস্ক্রিপশন এখন খোলা।
👉 যারা ২০২৫ সালের ২০ আগস্ট (Record Date)-এ Renata-র ordinary share ধরে রেখেছিলেন, শুধুমাত্র তারাই আবেদন করতে পারবেন।
👉 আবেদন শুরু হবে ৫ অক্টোবর সকাল ১০টা, শেষ হবে ৯ অক্টোবর বিকেল ৪:৩০-এ।

​মূল তথ্য এক নজরে

• কোম্পানি: Renata PLC
  
• ইস্যু টাইপ: Non-Cumulative, Non-Participative, Fully Convertible Preference Share
  
• মোট আকার: BDT 3,250,000,000
  
• যোগ্য বিনিয়োগকারী: যারা ২০ আগস্ট ২০২৫-এ ordinary shareholder ছিলেন
  
• সাবস্ক্রিপশন সময়: ৫ অক্টোবর সকাল ১০টা → ৯ অক্টোবর বিকেল ৪:৩০
  
• ন্যূনতম আবেদন: BDT 1,900 (১৯০ শেয়ার × BDT 10)
  
• সর্বোচ্চ সীমা: নেই (availability অনুযায়ী বরাদ্দ)
  
• উদ্দেশ্য: আগের ঋণ পরিশোধ করে কোম্পানির আর্থিক অবস্থা শক্তিশালী করা
  

1) প্রথম সাবস্ক্রিপশন অধিকার

• এই ইস্যুটি শুধু বর্তমান শেয়ারহোল্ডারদের জন্য।
  
• Record Date-এর শেয়ারহোল্ডিং অনুযায়ী proportionate allotment হবে।
  
• কেউ আবেদন না করলে, তাদের অধিকার বাতিল বলে গণ্য হবে।
  
• অবশিষ্ট শেয়ার থাকলে pro-rata ভিত্তিতে পুনরায় বরাদ্দ হবে।
  

2) নির্দিষ্ট লভ্যাংশ – ১৫% (Non-Cumulative)

• বার্ষিক ১৫% হারে ফিক্সড লভ্যাংশ।
• কোম্পানির আগের বছরের কর-পরবর্তী লাভ (NPAT) থাকলেই দেওয়া হবে।
• Non-Cumulative মানে – কোনো বছরে লভ্যাংশ না পেলে সেটি ভবিষ্যতে জমা হবে না।
• Non-Participative – Preference shareholder কেবল ১৫% পাবে, অতিরিক্ত মুনাফায় অংশ নেবে না।

উদাহরণ: যদি আপনি Tk. 100,000 বিনিয়োগ করেন, তাহলে প্রতি বছর সর্বাধিক Tk. 15,000 পেতে পারেন (যদি Renata-র আগের বছর পর্যাপ্ত লাভ থাকে)।

3) Ordinary Share-এ রূপান্তর (Conversion)

• Fully Convertible Preference Share, অর্থাৎ ভবিষ্যতে এটি ordinary share-এ পরিণত হবে।
• সময়সীমা: ৩য় বছর শেষে শুরু হবে এবং ৬ষ্ঠ বছরের শেষে সম্পূর্ণ রূপান্তর হবে।
• মূল্য: প্রতি ordinary share-এর মূল্য Tk. 475 নির্ধারিত।
• প্রভাব: নতুন শেয়ার ইস্যু হওয়ায় ordinary shareholder-দের মালিকানা শতাংশ ও EPS কিছুটা কমে যেতে পারে (dilution effect)।

কার জন্য উপযুক্ত

• যাঁরা স্থির আয়ের (Fixed Income) সুযোগ খুঁজছেন কিন্তু একই সঙ্গে ভবিষ্যতে ordinary share-এর সম্ভাবনাও রাখতে চান।
  
• যাঁরা Renata-র বিদ্যমান শেয়ারহোল্ডার এবং কোম্পানির দীর্ঘমেয়াদী প্রবৃদ্ধিতে বিশ্বাসী।
  

​কিভাবে আবেদন করবেন (Midway ক্লায়েন্টদের জন্য)

Midway Securities Ltd. | Investing, Simplified

​Renata PLC, a prominent name in the pharmaceutical sector, has announced a major capital raising initiative. The company is seeking to raise BDT 3,250,000,000 (325 crore Taka) through the issuance of Non-Cumulative, Non-Participative, and Fully Convertible Preference Shares.

The subscription period is now officially open! If you held Renata ordinary shares on the Record Date (20 August 2025), you’re eligible to apply from 10:00 AM, 5 Oct 2025 to 4:30 PM, 9 Oct 2025.

​1) First Right of Subscription (and how allotment works)

• 100% first offered to existing shareholders.
  
• Initial allotment is strictly proportional to your ordinary shareholding on the Record Date.
  
• If there’s any leftover after the first round, it’s re-allotted pro-rata based on extra applications.
  
• Miss the window = right renounced. If you don’t apply within the subscription period, your right is deemed renounced by law.
  

​2) Fixed Dividend Policy — 15% (Non-Cumulative)

• Fixed rate: Up to 15% per annum.
  
• Payable only if the company posted sufficient NPAT (net profit after tax) in the immediately preceding financial year.
  
• Non-Cumulative: If a year’s dividend isn’t paid (insufficient profit), it doesn’t carry forward.
  
• Non-Participative: You only receive the fixed dividend (when payable). You don’t share in any extra profits paid to ordinary shareholders.
  

Plain example (illustration only): If you invest BDT 100,000, potential dividend is up to BDT 15,000 for that year provided Renata’s prior year profit meets the condition. If not, that year’s dividend is skipped and not accrued.

​3) Conversion into Ordinary Shares (and dilution)

• Fully convertible into Renata ordinary shares.
  
• Schedule: Conversion starts at end of Year 3 and must be fully completed by end of Year 6.
  
• Pace: Indicative conversion 25% each year from Year 3 to Year 6.
  
• Conversion price: BDT 475 per ordinary share.
  
• Dilution effect: As new ordinary shares are created on conversion, existing ordinary holders who don’t participate may see ownership % and EPS diluted over time.
  

​Should you consider applying? 

• Income-seeking? You may like the fixed 15% rate (when payable).
• Risk/return balance: Dividend depends on profit eligibility, and missed years don’t accrue.
• Equity upside later: You eventually convert into ordinary shares, which adds equity exposure (and market price risk).
• Dilution awareness: If you’re already a shareholder and don’t apply, your stake may dilute as conversions happen.

​How to apply (via Midway Securities Ltd.)

Step 1 — Prepare details

• Confirm you were a Renata ordinary shareholder on 20 Aug 2025.
• Ensure you have matured (cleared) funds in your Midway account.

​Step 2 — Email your request
Send an email to accounts@midwaybd.com with the following:

Subject: Renata PLC – Convertible Preference Shares Subscription

Midway Client ID:
Number of lots:  (1 lot = 190 Preference Shares)
Total amount (BDT):

I confirm I held Renata ordinary shares on 20 Aug 2025 (Record Date) and have matured funds available.

​This Renata PLC preference share offer gives eligible shareholders a fixed-rate income potential (subject to profits) plus a path to equity via conversion. If you plan to participate, don’t wait—the window is short and rights lapse after the deadline.

Stop Loss (SL) কী?
 

• Stop Loss আপনাকে বড় ক্ষতি থেকে রক্ষা করে।
• আপনি একটি ন্যূনতম দাম সেট করবেন।
• দাম সেই লেভেলে নামলে, সিস্টেম স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে আপনার শেয়ার বিক্রির অর্ডার পাঠাবে।

 
👉 উদাহরণ: Tk. 34 দামে শেয়ার কিনে যদি আপনি Stop Loss Tk. 32 দেন, তবে দাম Tk. 32 এ নামলেই শেয়ার বিক্রি হবে।

Take Profit (TP) কী?
 

• Take Profit আপনার লাভ নিশ্চিত করে।
• আপনি একটি টার্গেট দাম ঠিক করবেন।
• দাম সেই লেভেলে পৌঁছালে, সিস্টেম স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে বিক্রির অর্ডার প্লেস করবে।

 
👉 উদাহরণ: Tk. 34 দামে শেয়ার কিনে Take Profit Tk. 36 দিলে, দাম Tk. 36 এ পৌঁছালে বিক্রি হবে।

কিভাবে কাজ করে

• মার্কেটের LTP (Last Traded Price) আপনার সেট করা লেভেলের 0.3% এর মধ্যে এলে, অর্ডার স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে মার্কেটে যাবে।
• অর্ডার এক্সিকিউট হলে আপনি মোবাইলে নোটিফিকেশন পাবেন (ফোনে নোটিফিকেশন চালু রাখুন)।
• অর্ডার মার্কেটে গেলেও সবসময় এক্সিকিউট নাও হতে পারে (যদি ম্যাচিং অর্ডার না থাকে)।
• এক্সিকিউট না হলে অর্ডার দিনের শেষে expire হয়ে যাবে।

 
👉 তাই প্রতিদিন Order List চেক করুন এবং প্রয়োজনে নতুন SL/TP সেট করুন।

ঘোষণা
 DSE-তে ভোলাটিলিটি থাকায় কিছু ক্ষেত্রে অর্ডার মার্কেটে নাও যেতে পারে।

• নিজের ট্রেড ম্যানেজ করার দায়িত্ব বিনিয়োগকারীর।
• Midway সর্বদা উচ্চ মানের সেবা দেওয়ার চেষ্টা করে, তবে টেকনিক্যাল বা মার্কেট সমস্যায় কখনো কখনো অর্ডার এক্সিকিউট নাও হতে পারে।
• এই ধরনের পরিস্থিতিতে কোম্পানি দায়ী থাকবে না।

 
👉 আজই BO অ্যাকাউন্ট খুলুন এবং QuickTrade Pro দিয়ে নিরাপদ ও স্মার্ট ট্রেডিং শুরু করুন।

​Trading in the stock market can move very fast. Prices can rise and fall in minutes, and it’s not always possible to watch the market all the time. That’s why QuickTrade Pro offers two powerful tools to help you trade smarter: Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP).
​
With these tools, you can set automatic triggers. Once the market price comes close to your set level, the system will place your order for execution.

​What is Stop Loss (SL)?

A Stop Loss helps protect you from large losses.

• You set a minimum price at which your stock should be sold.
• If the market price falls to that level, the system will automatically place a sell order.

👉 Example: If you bought a stock at Tk. 34 and set your Stop Loss at Tk. 32, the system will place a sell order once the price hits Tk. 32—helping you control your losses.

​What is Take Profit (TP)?

A Take Profit helps you secure your gains.

• You set a target price at which you want to sell your stock.
• Once the market price reaches that level, the system will automatically place a sell order, locking in your profit.

👉 Example: If you bought a stock at Tk. 34 and set your Take Profit at Tk. 36, the system will place a sell order once the price touches Tk. 36.

​How Stop Loss & Take Profit Orders Work in QuickTrade Pro

• When the market LTP (Last Traded Price) comes within 0.3% of your set Stop Loss or Take Profit level, your order will be automatically placed in the market.
• You will also receive a mobile notification alert once the order is executed (make sure to allow notifications on your phone).
• While an order may go to the market once conditions are met, it might not execute due to market factors (for example, if no matching buyer/seller is available).
• In such cases, the order will expire automatically after the market closes.

👉 Clients are encouraged to check their Order List in QuickTrade Pro to confirm the status and, if needed, set up a new Stop Loss/Take Profit order for the next day.

Disclosure

Due to DSE market volatility, there may be certain undefined scenarios where your Stop Loss or Take Profit orders might not go to the market at all.

• Clients are ultimately responsible for managing their own trades.
• Midway Securities Ltd. endeavors to provide consistent, high-quality service to all clients.
• However, at times due to technical issues or market conditions, orders may not execute (though this is rare).
• The company will not be held liable for such instances.

👉 Open your BO account today and trade confidently with QuickTrade Pro.

​The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) introduced a dedicated SME Platform on 30 September 2021 to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in raising capital. However, unlike regular listed shares, investing in SME companies is restricted to a special group of investors known as Qualified Investors (QIs).

​Who is a Qualified Investor (QI)?

A Qualified Investor (QI) is someone who meets the eligibility criteria set by the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) to invest in SME shares.

• To qualify, your Beneficiary Owner’s (BO) account must hold at least Tk. 30 lakh worth of investments.
• The Tk. 30 lakh can be measured by either cost price or market value of your holdings.

Do Investors Need to Register Separately?

Previously, investors had to apply and register separately to become a Qualified Investor.
But since 4 April 2022, this requirement has been removed.

• Now, the DSE automatically registers an investor as a QI if their BO account portfolio meets the Tk. 30 lakh requirement.
• The verification and registration are done quarterly by the Central Depository Bangladesh Limited (CDBL) and Midway Securities Ltd.

​How to Check If You Qualify

If your BO account balance is Tk. 30 lakh or more, you will automatically be registered as a QI. No separate paperwork is required.
👉 Midway clients can always confirm their QI status directly by contacting our customer support team.

​Trading SME Shares with Midway

As a Qualified Investor, you can trade SME shares directly through Midway.
👉 Clients of Midway can also trade SME shares in real time using our mobile trading app QuickTrade Pro—giving you access anytime, anywhere.

​The SME Platform of the Dhaka Stock Exchange offers a new and exciting avenue for investors, but access is limited to Qualified Investors who meet the Tk. 30 lakh minimum requirement.

At Midway Securities Ltd., we make it simple to check your eligibility and trade SME shares digitally through QuickTrade Pro.

👉 Open your BO account today and explore the growing opportunities in Bangladesh’s SME sector with Midway Securities.

These products allow you to build a portfolio that balances growth with stability.

​Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)

An IPO (Initial Public Offering) happens when a private company lists its shares on the DSE for the first time. Investors can apply for IPOs only via the Midway Portal.
​
For investors, IPOs are attractive because they provide early access to companies entering the stock market, often at entry-level prices.

Equities (Shares)

Equities represent ownership in a company. When you buy shares, you own part of that company.
Investors benefit in two ways:

• Capital Gains: If share prices rise, you can sell for a profit.
• Dividends: Companies may share profits with you as a shareholder.

Equities also give rights like attending AGMs and voting on company matters.

​Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds pool money from many investors and invest in a basket of shares, bonds, and other instruments. They are managed by professional fund managers.
There are two types:

• Open-ended funds: Bought and sold directly from the fund at current NAV (Net Asset Value).
• Closed-end funds: Listed and traded on the DSE, just like shares.

Mutual funds are popular because they give investors diversification and professional management, making them less risky than picking individual stocks.
With Midway, investors can easily buy and sell mutual funds listed on the exchange.

​Government Treasury Bonds & Securities (G-Secs)

Government Treasury Bonds are debt instruments issued by the Government of Bangladesh to raise funds.

• Treasury Bonds: Longer-term investments.

These are considered the safest form of investment in the market because they are backed by the government and offer fixed returns. They are ideal for conservative investors or those looking for stable income.

Midway clients can invest in these instruments through the DSE, just like shares.

SME Shares

The DSE has a dedicated SME (Small & Medium Enterprises) platform where smaller, fast-growing companies are listed.

• Suitable for investors looking for high-growth potential.
• Higher risk compared to established companies, but also higher possible returns.
• Eligible Midway clients can participate in SME trading through the same BO account and app.

​Corporate Bonds

Corporate Bonds are debt instruments issued by companies to raise capital.

• Investors earn a fixed interest rate.
• Less risky than equities, but returns are typically lower.
• Provides diversification in your portfolio.

​Sukuks (Islamic Bonds)

Sukuks are Shariah-compliant investment instruments. Instead of paying traditional interest, they generate returns through profit-sharing or asset-based structures.

• Suitable for investors seeking halal investment opportunities.
• Increasingly popular in Bangladesh as more companies issue Sukuks.
• Can be traded on DSE through your BO account.

​Why These Matter for Investors

• IPOs → Early entry into new companies.
  
• Equities → Ownership and long-term growth.
  
• Mutual Funds → Diversification and professional management.
  
• Government Bonds → Security and fixed income.
  
• SME Shares → High-growth opportunities.
  
• Corporate Bonds → Stable, fixed returns from private companies.
  
• Sukuks → Ethical, Shariah-compliant investments.
  

Together, these products allow you to create a balanced and well-diversified portfolio suited to your goals.

In Part 3 of this series, we looked at how investors can deposit and withdraw funds and track their portfolios easily through Midway’s digital systems. In this part, we turn our focus to corporate compliance rules, dividends and investor protection measures. These are the rules that listed companies must follow, and the safeguards that ensure you as an investor are protected in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).

Corporate Compliance Rules for Listed Companies

All listed companies on the DSE are required to follow certain compliance rules:

• Annual General Meetings (AGMs): Every company must hold an AGM where they present accounts, performance, and declare dividends. By owning even 1 share of a company, you are eligible to attend its AGM. By law, companies must send you an invitation (physical or digital) to join. As a shareholder, you can not only attend but also share your views on how the company is managed and vote on various agendas—from approving financial statements to electing directors.
• Dividend Declarations: Companies must announce dividends formally, either after the AGM or as decided by the board.
• Quarterly & Annual Reports: Regular financial disclosures so investors know how the company is performing.
• Price Sensitive Information (PSI): Any major event such as mergers, new contracts, or factory shutdowns must be disclosed immediately.
• Record Date: The cut-off date to determine who qualifies for dividends. If you hold shares on this date, you will receive the declared dividend.

👉 All of this information—AGMs, dividend declarations, record dates, and financial reports—is easily available on QuickTrade Pro.

How Investors Receive Dividends

When companies declare dividends, there are two main types:

• Cash Dividend → Credited directly to your linked bank account (the one you provided when opening your BO account). No action is needed from you.
• Stock Dividend (Bonus Shares) → Credited directly into your BO account. You’ll automatically see new shares appear in your portfolio.

Some companies may declare a combination of both cash and stock dividends.
👉 Using the Midway Portal, you can also view a detailed dividend report for your account, giving you a clear picture of all dividend income you’ve received over time.

​Investor Protection Measures by DSE & BSEC

To keep the market fair and protect investors, the DSE and Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) apply strict measures:

• Surveillance systems track unusual price or volume spikes.
• Circuit breakers limit how much a share price can rise or fall in one day, protecting investors from extreme volatility.
• Z Category identifies weak or non-compliant companies.
• Publication of closed company lists warns investors in advance.
• Fines and penalties are imposed on companies that violate rules.

​Corporate compliance ensures that companies remain accountable, while DSE and BSEC rules provide an extra layer of protection for investors. This combination builds confidence and makes investing safer for everyone.

In Part 5 of this series, we’ll look beyond day-to-day trading and explore the different investment opportunities in the DSE—including IPOs, equities, mutual funds, government bonds, SME shares, corporate bonds, and Sukuks.
At Midway Securities Ltd., we believe in one principle: Investing, Simplified.

​In Part 2 of this series, we discussed the trading basics of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)—including trading hours, when you can sell your shares, share categories, circuit breakers, and how trades are matched. Now in Part 3, we’ll cover something equally important: how you can easily deposit and withdraw funds from your BO account, and how to keep track of your investments with Midway’s digital tools.

Once you open a BO account with Midway Securities, adding funds is simple and flexible. The good news is:

​In Part 1 of this series, we looked at how the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) works and why the system is fully automated, safe, and regulated. Now in Part 2, let’s dive into the day-to-day trading basics that every investor should know before placing their first order.

​Trading Hours

The official trading hours of the Dhaka Stock Exchange are 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM - Sunday - Thursday.

But what if you’re busy during market hours? With our mobile trading app QuickTrade Pro, you can place your orders even before the market opens. This means you don’t need to log in exactly at 10 AM—you can plan your investments ahead of time and let the system handle the rest.

​How Trades Are Matched (Super Easy with QuickTrade Pro)

When you place a Buy or Sell order using QuickTrade Pro:

1. Your order is sent directly to the DSE’s matching engine.
2. If the price and quantity matches with a buyer or seller on the other side, the trade is executed instantly. For example: If you want to BUY 30 shares of GrameenPhone at 300 Taka per share, it will be executed when someone else places a similar SELL order. Everything is fully automatic.  
3. You immediately receive a notification alert on your mobile phone confirming the trade.

It’s a super easy and user-friendly system. As an investor, you don’t need to think about the mechanics—you only need to focus on choosing the right stock at the right price.

Settlement Cycle (T+2 and T+3) – When Can You Sell Your Shares?

One of the most important things for investors to know is how soon they can sell a stock after buying it.

• For A, B, and N category shares → you can sell them within T+2 (two working days).
• For Z category shares → you can sell them only after T+3 (three working days).

👉 Example: If you buy an A, B or N category stock on Sunday, you can sell it on Tuesday. For a Z-category stock, you’ll need to wait until Wednesday.

The rules are designed to make sure money and shares move smoothly behind the scenes. As an investor, you don’t need to worry about this process—just remember the timing for when you can sell.

​DSE classifies shares into A, B, N, and Z categories, based on performance and compliance. This helps investors understand the risk level of different companies.
​
👉 Learn more here: A, B, N and Z categories explained.

Circuit Breakers & Price Limits

Every stock at DSE has upper and lower price limits (known as circuit breakers). These rules cap how much a share’s price can rise or fall in a single session.

In our Mobile Trading App - QuickTrade Pro, you can see the daily Circuit Breaker easily.
The purpose of circuit breakers is simple: to protect investors from extreme volatility and sudden manipulation.

👉 Read more here: Details on Circuit Breakers.

Trading on the DSE is straightforward once you understand the basics—trading hours, settlement, categories, circuit breakers, and how trades are matched.

In Part 3, we’ll cover how you can deposit and withdraw funds securely and track your investments through Midway’s digital tools.

At Midway Securities Ltd., our mission is simple: Investing, Simplified. With our mobile app QuickTrade Pro, you can trade anytime, anywhere with full confidence.

​Before we explore the trading rules of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), it’s important to first understand how the exchange works. The DSE is the largest stock exchange in Bangladesh and the gateway for investors to buy and sell shares of listed companies. Knowing how the system works will give you confidence that your investments are safe, transparent, and regulated.

What is the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)?
​
​The DSE was established in 1954 and today operates as the primary marketplace for share trading in Bangladesh. Everything in the DSE is now fully automated.
This means if you buy or sell shares using our mobile trading app QuickTrade Pro, once your order is executed:

• The system automatically handles the settlement of funds and shares.
• You don’t need to do anything manually—profits or losses are adjusted automatically.
• The DSE guarantees settlement under its rules, while the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) regulates the process.

For investors, this makes the system very easy. You only need to focus on choosing the right stocks at the right price. All other processes—fund transfers, share settlements, and compliance—are taken care of by the DSE and your broker.

Participants in the Market

The stock market works because different participants play their roles:

• Investors – Individuals, institutions, and non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) who buy and sell shares.
• Brokerage Houses – Licensed firms like Midway Securities Ltd., who connect investors to the DSE through trading platforms such as QuickTrade Pro.
• Regulators – Organizations like BSEC and the stock exchanges (DSE, CSE, CDBL) who monitor the system and ensure transparency and fairness.

BO Account – The Starting Point

To invest in the DSE, the first requirement is a BO Account (Beneficiary Owner’s Account). Think of it as a bank account, but for your shares.
With a BO account:

• Your purchased shares are stored safely in electronic form.
• You can buy and sell through your broker.
• You receive dividends and other entitlements directly.

Opening a BO account is simple. You need:

1. National ID (NID)
2. A Bank Account in Bangladesh
3. A Nominee’s Photo

👉 At Midway Securities, you can open your BO account fully online—no need to visit any branch.

​The Dhaka Stock Exchange is a fully automated and regulated marketplace. As an investor, you only need to focus on your trading decisions, while the system takes care of everything else.

In the next part of this series (Part 2), we’ll break down the trading rules of DSE—such as trading hours, settlement cycles, share categories, and price limits—in an easy-to-understand way.

At Midway Securities Ltd., we make investing even simpler with our QuickTrade Pro mobile app, designed to help you trade smarter and faster.

👉 Open your BO account today and get started in Bangladesh’s stock market with confidence.

​The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) has taken a major step toward protecting investors by publishing a list of 30 closed or non-operational companies. For the first time, investors now have a clear reference to identify firms that are no longer running their core businesses but whose shares are still being traded in the market.

​This initiative will help investors make informed decisions, reduce the risk of falling for rumours, and avoid putting money into companies that are inactive or vulnerable to artificial price manipulation. By knowing exactly which companies are closed, investors can better evaluate where they are investing and protect their capital.

​This move by the DSE is expected to improve market transparency and safeguard retail investors from being misled by companies that are no longer in operation. It marks a crucial step toward building confidence in Bangladesh’s capital market.

​The Share Market, or Stock Market, is where investors buy and sell ownership of companies through shares. In Bangladesh, the stock market operates mainly through the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE – over 95% Trade) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE – only 5% Trade). If you are new to investing, here’s a simple A to Z guide to help you understand how it works.

​A – Account (BO Account)
To start trading, you need a BO Account (Beneficiary Owner’s Account). This works like a bank account for your shares and is the first step to entering the stock market.

B – Broker
You cannot trade directly on the exchange. You need a brokerage firm like Midway Securities Ltd., which provides you access to buy and sell shares.

C – Capital Market
The capital market includes equities (shares), IPOs, bonds, mutual funds, and government securities—all available through your BO account.

D – Dividends
Companies often share profits with investors in the form of dividends, either in cash or bonus shares.

In Bangladesh, we trade on two stock exchanges:

• DSE (Dhaka Stock Exchange)

J – Joint Account
You can also open a BO account jointly with another person, such as a family member.

K – Knowledge
The most important asset in Share Market. Without knowledge, investing becomes gambling.

L – Liquidity
How quickly you can sell your shares and convert them into cash.

M – Market Indices

O – Online Trading
With apps like QuickTrade Pro, you can trade stocks from anywhere, 24/7.

Every investment has risk. The key is to manage risk with tools like Stop Loss, Take Profit, and diversification.

An automatic order that sells your shares if the price falls below a set level—protecting you from bigger losses.

T – Take Profit
An automatic order that sells your shares once they reach your target price—helping you lock in gains.

U – Uptrend
A period when share prices are generally rising.

V – Volume
The number of shares traded in a stock on a given day. High volume often means high investor interest.

ইন্টারডে ট্রেডে গড় মূল্য কিভাবে নির্ধারিত হয়?

১.  প্রথমে ক্রয়, পরে বিক্রয় পদ্ধতি

• প্রথমে নতুন কেনা শেয়ার পুরনো ক্রয়ের সাথে যোগ হয়ে গড় মূল্য তৈরি হয়।
• এরপর সেই গড় মূল্য ধরে বিক্রয় হয় এবং লাভ/ক্ষতি হিসাব হয়।

 
 উদাহরণ:

•  আপনার হাতে আছে 100 শেয়ার @ 50 টাকা।
•  আপনি নতুন 50 শেয়ার কিনলেন @ 60 টাকা।
•  গড় মূল্য দাঁড়াল = (100×50 + 50×60) ÷ 150 = 53.33 টাকা।
•  এখন যদি বিক্রি করেন, লাভ/ক্ষতি এই নতুন গড় (53.33 টাকা) ধরে গণনা হবে। 

 
প্রভাব:

• গড় ক্রয়মূল্য: নতুন ক্রয়ের সাথে পুরনো মিশে যায়।
• লাভ/ক্ষতি: সরাসরি ইন্টারডে পার্থক্য ধরা পড়ে না, বরং নতুন গড়ে হিসাব হয়।

 
২. প্রথমে বিক্রয়, পরে ক্রয় পদ্ধতি

• এখানে প্রথমে বিক্রয় হিসাব করা হয়, শুধুমাত্র পুরনো গড় মূল্যের সঙ্গে তুলনা করা হয়।
• নতুন কেনা শেয়ার আলাদাভাবে নতুন গড় মূল্য তৈরি করে।
• ফলে একই দিনে ক্রয়-বিক্রয়ের পার্থক্য সরাসরি লাভ/ক্ষতি হিসেবে প্রতিফলিত হয়।

 
উদাহরণ:

•  আপনার হাতে আছে 100 শেয়ার @ 50 টাকা।
•  প্রথমে বিক্রি করলেন 50 শেয়ার @ 60 টাকা → লাভ = (60-50)×50 = 500 টাকা।
•  এরপর আবার কিনলেন 50 শেয়ার @ 55 টাকা → নতুন শেয়ারের গড় = 52.5 টাকা।
•  ফলে বিক্রিত শেয়ারের গড় থাকে 50 টাকা, আর নতুন শেয়ারের গড় 52.5 টাকা।

 
প্রভাব:

• গড় ক্রয়মূল্য: নতুন ক্রয় পুরনোর সাথে মিশে না → আলাদা থাকে।
• লাভ/ক্ষতি: আজকের দিনে বিক্রির ফলাফল (লাভ/ ক্ষতি) সরাসরি প্রতিফলিত হয়।

সহজভাবে বললে, “প্রথমে বিক্রয়, পরে ক্রয়” পদ্ধতিতে রিপোর্টিং পরিষ্কার হয় এবং ইনভেস্টররা দিনে দিনে লাভ/ক্ষতি স্পষ্টভাবে দেখতে পান।

বেশিরভাগ ইনভেস্টর সহজবোধ্য এই প্রক্রিয়াটিই চান, আর ক্লায়েন্টদের চাহিদার ভিত্তিতেই Midway Securities Limited এই পদ্ধতি চালু করেছে।
