Manager’s Comment
During the month, the fund generated an annualized return of 6.09% as against its benchmark return of 12.06%. WAM of the fund was 2.6 years. Exposure in PIBs decreased.
Contrary to the increasing tendency in the industry to add corporate debt instruments, MCB-PSF is among the few Bond Funds in the industry which continues to remain restricted to pure government securities and bank deposits inline with the name of fund.
