02/16/2026, 14:58In Bishkek, Kyrgyz broker Royal Pure Gold has connected to the international trading platform ITS. Now, Kyrgyz investors will be able to buy more than 3,200 global stocks and ETFs through the local platform.
The agreement was signed during a roundtable discussion on “Key Trends in the Development of the Kyrgyz Stock Market” with the participation of representatives of the financial community and Erbol Sarypbekov, Advisor to the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Connecting to ITS means that through the Kagan Invest platform, Royal Pure Gold clients get direct access to shares of the world's largest companies, such as Apple and Microsoft, as well as ETFs, commodity instruments, and international indices.
In fact, investments in global companies become available without opening accounts with foreign brokers and without the need to transfer money to foreign banks. The account can be replenished in KGS, and the process from registration to the first transaction takes 10-15 minutes. There is no minimum entry threshold.
Arstanbek Abdikaparov, CEO of Royal Pure Gold, noted that the partnership with ITS lowers the barrier to investment and opens up international markets to a wide range of citizens.
ITS Chairman Chingiz Kanapyanov, in turn, emphasized that the connection of the Kyrgyz broker strengthens Central Asia's position in the global financial market.
Investors have access to over 3,200 international instruments, including more than 300 ETFs. Among the advantages of the platform is a long trading session of almost 18 hours (from 11:00 to 04:45 Bishkek time). This allows for a quick response to company reports and decisions by global central banks.
Special attention was paid at the round table to ITS exchange-traded funds — ITS World ETF and ITS Shariah ETF.
ITS World ETF includes 50 selected companies from the US, Europe, and Asia with an entry threshold of just over $10. In 2025, the fund's index grew by 25.62%, outperforming the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average indices.
ITS Shariah ETF is the first Shariah-compliant exchange-traded fund in Central Asia, comprising 30 global companies that have undergone a special financial and industry selection process. In 2025, its index grew by 23.6%.
The connection to ITS was a continuation of Royal Pure Gold's strategy to enter global markets. Earlier, the company was the first in Kyrgyzstan to receive the status of Recognised Non-AIFC Member in the jurisdiction of the Astana International Financial Centre.
At the end of 2025, ITS demonstrated record performance: trading volume exceeded $14 billion, and the number of investors with access to the platform exceeded 1.2 million people.
Thus, the Kyrgyz capital market is taking a step towards deeper integration into the international financial system, and private investors are gaining access to instruments that were previously only available through foreign platforms.
