NEPSE sector
Holding companies whose business is owning other listed companies.
7 companies, 2 other listed securities. As of 27 August 2026.
The sector
These firms hold stakes in banks, insurers and hydropower companies, so their results are largely the results of what they own.
That makes them a proxy for the market rather than a bet on one business, and it makes their book value the number to read first.
Before you buy: You are buying a portfolio you did not pick. Check what the holding company actually owns before treating it as diversification.
