Editorial review, not paid promotion
These broker guides are independent editorial. Nepse Signal has no commission arrangement with any NEPSE broker. All brokerage fees in Nepal are set by NRB and are identical across TMS members — pick a broker for service quality and convenience, not for price.
About Naasa Securities
Naasa Securities Co. Ltd. operates under NEPSE TMS member number 58 from Naxal, Kathmandu. By daily turnover, it has been the single most-active broker on the exchange for most of the past year — both buy-side and sell-side. The volume comes from a combination of an aggressive online TMS adoption, a strong walk-in retail base in the eastern Kathmandu valley, and consistent presence on the top floorsheet pages day after day.
Because Naasa moves so much volume, it shows up in nearly every stock's top-broker list — which means its accumulation and distribution patterns are watched closely by other traders as a sentiment indicator. If Naasa is a net buyer in a name for several consecutive sessions, it often draws sympathetic flow from smaller brokers.
Strengths
- Highest combined buy + sell turnover on NEPSE in 2025 — order execution is genuinely fast at scale, even on volatile circuit-up days.
- TMS portal uptime has been visibly better than many smaller brokers; the platform stayed responsive during the 2024–25 IPO surges that broke several peer platforms.
- Active client-service desk on weekdays — useful when an order doesn't fill the way you expected and you need a human read on the floorsheet trace.
- Strong presence in floorsheet data means transparent peer-reference of how big institutions are positioned.
What to watch out for
- Volume is a double-edged sword. On thin-liquidity stocks, a Naasa client placing a large limit order will see the broker's house quote-print on the tape before the order routes — slightly worse fills than at a lower-volume peer with the same NRB-fixed commission.
- Like every NEPSE broker, fees follow the NRB-mandated tiered schedule (0.24%–0.36%). Naasa offers no discount-broker rates because none are legally permitted; the differentiator is service, not pricing.
- Branch capacity in Kathmandu can be busy on dividend / right-share book-closure days. Online TMS is the smoother route during those windows.
How to open an account
- Open a Demat account at any commercial bank or DP (Depository Participant). This gives you a 16-digit BOID — required for every NEPSE transaction.
- Visit the broker's office (or download their KYC form from the TMS link below) with your citizenship certificate, PAN card, recent passport photo, and the bank-issued cheque or Demat statement that shows your BOID.
- Sign the broker's client agreement and the standing instruction that authorises NEPSE settlement.
- Once the broker activates your trading account (usually 1–3 business days), log in to their TMS portal with the credentials they email you and place your first order.
Account opening is free; brokerage is what they earn from
No NEPSE broker charges an account-opening fee — they earn on the per-trade commission (slid by NRB rules between 0.24% and 0.36% depending on trade size). If a 'service charge' is quoted up front, ask for the SEBON-approved fee schedule before signing.
