VIS Assigns Initial Fund Stability Rating to Faysal Islamic Mehdood Muddat Plan-I

Karachi, September 30, 2025: VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (VIS) has assigned the initial Fund Stability Rating (FSR) of ‘AA+ (f)’ (Double A Plus (f)) to Faysal Islamic Mehdood Muddat Plan-I (‘FIMMP-I’ 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-I was launched in May 2024, with the objective of providing an expected return to the Unit Holders at maturity by investing in primarily Shariah Compliant Fixed Income Securities.

Assigned rating incorporates the asset allocation strategy of the Plan, with investments primarily in Government Ijarah Sukuk in line with its mandate, which also permits allocations to cash and Shariah-compliant bank placements. The rating further reflects the Plan’s credit quality, with a low risk profile as ~99% of assets are invested in government securities. The weighted average maturity (WAM) remained below the limits defined in the offering document. Redemption risk is considered high, given the investor base is concentrated in a single corporate entity.
