To invest in the capital market of Bangladesh one needs to open a BO account with a Brokerage firm according to Security Exchange commission Rules. BO account holders can keep their shares in their BO account just as we save our money in our bank account. All the shares issued in the stock exchange are preserved in electronic form and the investor owns a BO account that can keep the shares in their account. BO accounts have a sixteen-digit identification number called BO ID (Beneficiary owner identification number). A BO or Beneficiary Owner Account facilitates trading (buy or sell) of securities.

BO accounts are opened with Central Depository Bangladesh Limited (CDBL) through a Depository Participant (DP) i.e. brokerage house Like ‘Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Limited’.

You may think of an investment portfolio as a pie that’s been divided into pieces of varying wedge-shaped sizes, each piece representing a different asset class and/or type of investment. Investors aim to construct a well-diversified portfolio to achieve a risk-return portfolio allocation that is appropriate for their level of risk tolerance. Although stocks, bonds, and cash are generally viewed as a portfolio’s core building blocks.
