| Pakistan Income Fund (PIF) is an open-end fund, investing primarily in income producing debt securities.
The Fund seeks relatively high fixed income returns
PIF invests in a range of fixed income securities including Government of Pakistan Bonds, corporate sector bonds (Term Finance Certificates - TFCs), reverse-repo transactions in the money market, and spread transactions. The weightages of the investment mix of the portfolio are managed in such a manner that reduces the risk of loss in the market value of the investments due to any major upward movement in interest rates in the country. Being an income fund, PIF’s emphasis is on managing interest rate risk, and as a policy, the Fund keeps the average duration of its portfolio less than two years. |
