What Pasargad Capital does

Pasargad Capital is a Tehran-based, privately held capital market services group (گروه خدمات بازار سرمایه پاسارگاد) that operates as the dedicated capital markets arm of the Bank Pasargad financial ecosystem. The group delivers a full chain of services across four pillars: asset management, corporate financing, investment advisory, and brokerage. Its asset management franchise runs at least six regulated investment funds (Hezareh Sevom Pod fixed income, Pasargad Fixed Income ETF, Rhyton Gold Fund, Takpod Equity ETF, Andisheh Zarrin Market Making Fund, and Miras-e Mandegar Charitable Fund) and dozens of dedicated portfolio mandates managed through the Satrap Pasargad investment advisory subsidiary. The iPasargad digital platform and its Android mobile app are the unified retail subscription and redemption front end, supporting fixed income, equity, and gold ETFs with real-time NAV, automated investment plans, gift cards, and ViaPad digital banking integration; Pasargad Trader and Hamrah Trader are the proprietary online and mobile trading systems provided through Bank Pasargad Brokerage for equity, derivatives, and commodity exchange access. DatEx (داتِکس) is the in-house digital solutions subsidiary that builds and maintains the trading and investment software infrastructure. The group also structures Islamic finance instruments (salam, ijara, murabaha, participation) and operates M&A, valuation, and IPO advisory practices.

The business model is anchored on recurring asset management fees (fixed management fees plus performance-based fees for Satrap portfolios), brokerage commissions from equity/derivative/commodity trading, and transaction-based professional services fees for sukuk underwriting, IPO advisory, M&A advisory, and crowdfunding oversight on the Investoran platform. Customer segments span individual retail investors (the primary base of 30,000+ active users), active retail traders, corporate and institutional clients (insurance, pension, holdings), and corporate issuers seeking capital market financing. Distribution combines the self-serve iPasargad platform with Bank Pasargad's physical branch network, all licensed Iranian brokerages for ETF distribution, and dedicated direct sales teams for institutional mandates. Revenue and AUM are reported in Tomans and Rials; AUM stood at 30+ trillion Tomans as of Aban 1404 (November 2025), and group-level revenue is not publicly disclosed. Pasargad Capital is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Organization of Iran and holds portfolio management, investment advisory, listing advisory, securities offering advisory, financial information processing, and crowdfunding participation licenses through Satrap Pasargad.
