COMMENTARY

Lucky Islamic Money Market Fund ("LIMMF") is categorized as a low-risk fund, generating stable returns through investments in Shariah-compliant banks, their compliant windows, and short-term Shariah-compliant securities. As of Mar'26, AUM stood at PKR 54,908mln versus PKR 62,136mln in Sep'25, reflecting asset contraction consistent with industry reallocation during monetary easing. The portfolio exhibits prudent diversification: 44% in bank/DFI placements, 23% GoP Guaranteed Securities, 20% cash equivalents, 12% corporate Sukuks, and ~1% other receivables, reinforcing liquidity and capital safety priorities. Credit quality remains strong, with 55% invested in AAA-rated instruments and Government Securities, ~22% in AA+ avenues, ~6% AA-rated, ~6% A1+, and ~9% A1 instruments. The 61-day Weighted Average Maturity reflects low interest-rate sensitivity, enabling rapid portfolio repricing amid monetary shifts. Performance delivered 10.30% annualized returns against a 9.56% benchmark (+74 bps), demonstrating effective Shariah-compliant portfolio management and competitive risk-adjusted returns within disciplined investment parameters. Going forward, any material changes in the investment policy and/or compliance with the rating criteria for the assigned rating would have an impact on the rating.

Stability Rating
The Stability rating is based on a detailed quantitative assessment of fund's portfolio and qualitative assessment of fund management. It provides the investors with an objective measure as to the main areas of risk to which the income funds are exposed, which is credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
Credit Risk

The foremost factor is credit risk, having the highest weight in the rating matrix. The opinion is based on review of various factors, including the fund’s investment policies regarding credit risk exposure towards various market segments, individual and cumulative credit quality of the investment portfolio, the diversification of assets across investment types and issuers, and weighted average maturity.

Market Risk

The more complex part of evaluating a fund’s stability involves determining the fund’s sensitivity to the changing market conditions PACRA assess market risk in the nexus of variables affecting the market value of the underlying portfolio. Market value can fluctuate due to a number of variables largely including interest rate, liquidity and operating environment.

Liquidity Risk

The liquidity of a security refers to the speed at which that security can be sold for approximately the price at which the fund has it valued. Securities which are less liquid are subject to greater price variability. While analyzing the liquidity of investment portfolio, PACRA considers the types of investments in the portfolio,

Historical Return Volatility

Funds having operational history of six-months or more, the variability in returns is gauged on standardized basis through coefficient of variation for each fund in a category. The coefficient of variation is calculated by dividing standard deviation of fund’s monthly returns by average monthly return (SD of Monthly Returns/Average Monthly Return).

Asset Manager

Management scoring is derived from the asset manager rating of the company managing the fund. PACRA reviews the policies and procedures developed by the management to meet its investment objectives. Therefore, an assessment of the fund manager’s qualification and experience, asset management company’s capabilities and track record are an integral part to the fund rating process.

Rating Modifiers | Rating Actions
Outlook (Stable, Positive, Negative, Developing)
Indicates the potential and direction of a rating over the intermediate term in response to trends in economic and/or fundamental business / financial conditions. It is not necessarily a precursor to a rating change. ‘Stable’ outlook means a rating is not likely to change. ‘Positive’ means it may be raised. ‘Negative’ means it may be lowered. Where the trends have conflicting elements, the outlook may be described as ‘Developing’.
Rating Watch
Alerts to the possibility of a rating change subsequent to, or, in anticipation of some material identifiable event with indeterminable rating implications. But it does not mean that a rating change is inevitable. A watch should be resolved within foreseeable future, but may continue if underlying circumstances are not settled. Rating watch may accompany rating outlook of the respective opinion.
Suspension
It is not possible to update an opinion due to lack of requisite information. Opinion should be resumed in foreseeable future. However, if this does not happen within six (6) months, the rating should be considered withdrawn.
Withdrawal
A rating is withdrawn on a) termination of rating mandate, b) the debt instrument is redeemed, c) the rating remains suspended for six months, d) the entity/issuer defaults., or/and e) PACRA finds it impractical to surveil the opinion due to lack of requisite information.
Harmonization
A change in rating due to revision in applicable methodology or underlying scale.
Surveillance: Surveillance on a publicly disseminated rating opinion is carried out on an ongoing basis till it is formally suspended or withdrawn. A comprehensive surveillance of rating opinion is carried out at least once every six months. However, a rating opinion may be reviewed in the intervening period if it is necessitated by any material happening. Rating actions may include "maintain", "upgrade", or "downgrade".
