AI Strategy X-Ray

In July 2026, HBL Income Fund delivered an annualized return of 9.77%, trailing its benchmark of 6M AA bank savings rate which returned 11.03% over the same period. The fund’s performance was anchored by a steady allocation to government securities, with T-Bills and PIBs comprising roughly two-thirds of the portfolio, while cash holdings provided liquidity amid rising inflation. Macro‑economic conditions remained challenging, as headline inflation climbed to 9.2% YoY and the SBP held the policy rate at 11.5%, limiting upside for fixed‑income yields. Despite a cautious economic recovery signaled by improving private‑sector credit and stable external reserves, the fund’s slightly longer weighted average maturity of 150 days did not translate into outperformance relative to the benchmark.

Key Manager Actions

  • Over the month, the fund increased its weighted average maturity from 64 days to 150 days, signaling a deliberate shift toward longer‑dated PIBs to lock in higher yields. Concurrently, cash holdings were reduced from 78.58% to 26.41% as the manager re‑allocated proceeds into government securities to improve income generation.
  • Despite the duration extension, the fund’s annualized return of 9.77% lagged the benchmark’s 11.03%, reflecting the impact of higher‑cost financing and a modest corporate‑bond allocation. The yield advantage from the longer‑dated PIBs was partially offset by rising inflation expectations, which eroded real returns and kept the fund’s spread over the benchmark narrow.
  • Looking ahead, the manager expects the SBP to maintain a cautious policy stance, keeping yields range‑bound as inflation gradually eases and external reserves strengthen. Should the yield curve steepen further, the fund’s increased duration positioning could capture additional accretive returns, while a continued focus on high‑quality government paper will aim to preserve capital amid any market volatility.
