Why Invest in TSE?
Strong Returns
Evaluate total returns after dividends, fees, taxes and exchange-rate changes. Historical or projected gains do not guarantee future results.
Liquidity
Liquidity varies by issuer and market conditions. Price bands, trading suspensions and low free float can limit entry and exit.
Diversification
Hundreds of listed companies across multiple sectors enabling portfolio diversification.
Regulatory Support
Legal framework protects investor rights with clear regulations and dispute resolution mechanisms.

A repatriation checklist.
| Risk | Why it matters | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange rate | Local-currency gains can shrink or reverse once converted. | Returns measured in your reporting currency |
| Price limits and halts | Positions may not be sold at the intended time or price. | Recent trading-halt and limit history |
| Low free float | Thin trading can move prices sharply. | Free float and average daily value traded |
| Disclosure quality | Inflation can distort reported earnings and asset values. | Audited statements and auditor remarks |
Start Your TSE Investment
Let our capital market experts guide your investment strategy and portfolio management.
Begin InvestmentCompare investable returns rather than headline index gains
Review broker eligibility, ownership restrictions, issuer screening and custody arrangements before trading. Assess company liquidity and market rules as well as sector exposure; a quoted price does not guarantee that a position can be sold at that price. Calculate returns in the investor’s reporting currency after fees, taxes and exchange-rate movements. Index performance, an illustrative portfolio and an audited client record are different evidence types and must not be presented as interchangeable.

FAQ — Profit Repatriation
What a foreign investor actually needs to trade on the Tehran Stock Exchange
Iran's capital market runs across two boards — the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) for larger listed companies and Iran Fara Bourse (IFB) for over-the-counter and smaller issuers — with the Securities and Exchange Organization (SEO) acting as regulator. Foreign participation is permitted under a dedicated foreign investor regime, but it requires a trading code, a custodian relationship and, for capital that will later be repatriated, an inbound capital registration at the point of entry.
Account-opening path for a foreign investor (indicative)
| Step | Counterparty | Indicative time |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign investor licence application | Securities & Exchange Organization | 2–6 weeks |
| Trading code (sejam registration) | Central Securities Depository | 1–3 weeks |
| Brokerage and custody account | Licensed Iranian broker / custodian | 1–2 weeks |
| Inbound capital registration | Central Bank / OIETAI where FIPPA applies | 2–4 weeks |
| First settlement cycle | Broker | T+1 to T+2 |
Indicative planning benchmarks based on our engagement experience; actual timelines vary by sector and file.
Practical constraints to price into your strategy
- Daily price bands limit how far a single stock can move in one session, which slows exit in a falling market
- Free float on some large caps is thin — position sizing matters more than in deeper markets
- Dividends are approved at annual general meetings and paid on a statutory schedule after approval
- Rial-denominated returns must be assessed against currency movement before repatriation
- Repatriation is far simpler when the original inflow was registered on arrival
- Sanctions screening applies to issuers and counterparties, not only to the transaction
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy shares on the Tehran Stock Exchange?
Yes. Foreign natural and legal persons can invest under the foreign investor regime once they hold a licence from the Securities and Exchange Organization and a trading code from the Central Securities Depository, accessed through a licensed Iranian broker.
What is the difference between the TSE and Iran Fara Bourse?
The Tehran Stock Exchange lists larger companies under stricter admission rules. Iran Fara Bourse is the over-the-counter market for smaller issuers, debt instruments and companies not yet meeting TSE criteria. Both sit under the same regulator.
How are capital gains and dividends taxed for foreign shareholders?
Listed-share transactions carry a transaction-based levy rather than a conventional capital gains tax, and dividends are distributed from post-tax corporate profit. Treatment depends on the investor structure, so we confirm the position with counsel before you commit capital.
How do I get my money out again?
Repatriation depends on registering the inbound capital when it arrives. Investment made under FIPPA carries an explicit transfer guarantee for principal and profit; unregistered inflows are materially harder to exit.
