Capitec IBBL Shariah Unit Fund, managed by Capitec Asset Management Limited, has declared a 6% cash dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
Despite a shortage of Shariah-compliant investment opportunities in the capital market, the fund achieved a growth of 9.81% during the year, according to a press release. This performance highlights the fund’s resilience in a challenging investment environment.
An analysis of the fund’s financial indicators for 2025 reflects strong management and an effective investment strategy. During the year, earnings per unit stood at Tk0.84, a significant improvement from the negative earnings per unit of Tk1.54 recorded in the previous year.
The fund’s net asset value showed notable improvement compared to 2024. The net asset value at market price increased by 10.38%, while the net asset value at purchase price rose by 4.95%, indicating stronger portfolio performance and investor confidence.
Market experts noted that 2025 was a difficult year for the mutual fund sector in the country’s capital market. According to BRAC EPL’s annual market review, the total net asset value of listed term mutual funds declined by nearly Tk470 crore by the end of the year.
The sector’s total assets decreased from Tk4,880 crore in 2024 to Tk4,410 crore in 2025, reflecting broader market pressures.
Against this backdrop, funds managed by Capitec performed strongly. In 2025, the Capitec Grameen Bank Growth Fund recorded an 11.4% increase in net asset value, while term mutual funds managed by other asset managers experienced declines.
