VIS Assigns Initial Fund Stability Rating to Faysal Islamic Mehdood Muddat Plan-VI
Karachi, September 30, 2025: VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (VIS) has assigned the initial Fund Stability Rating (FSR) of ‘AA (f)’ (Double A (f)) to Faysal Islamic Mehdood Muddat Plan-VI (‘FIMMP-VI’ or ‘the Plan’). The medium to long-term rating of ‘AA (f)’ denotes high degree of stability in Net Assets Value. Risk is modest but may vary slightly from time to time because of changing economic conditions.
FIMMP-VI was launched in May 2025, with the objective of providing comparable market return to the Unit Holders at maturity by investing in primarily shariah compliant fixed income.
Assigned rating incorporates the asset allocation strategy of the Plan, with investments primarily held in bank deposits, while the constitutive document also permits allocations to Government Securities and other Shariah-compliant placements. The rating also reflects the credit quality of the Plan, with ~99% of cash holdings placed with “AA “rated institutions. The Plan carries no material market or liquidity risk, as investments are entirely maintained in cash. However, concentration risk is elevated, given the investor base comprises a single corporate entity. In terms of performance, monthly returns have remained above the benchmark.
