Fund profile
What stands out about ARM Short Term Bond Fund
The ARM Short Term Bond Fund's most striking feature this week is how far its Week-to-Date (WTD) yield stands above the rest of its category. At 5.40% for the week ending 3 July 2026, the fund's WTD yield is 33 times the median WTD yield of 0.16% recorded across all Fixed Income / Bond Funds in the same period. That gap signals the fund has been generating returns at a pace well ahead of most of its peers, even after a visible pullback from the 13.60% WTD yield recorded on 19 June 2026. On a Year-to-Date (YTD) basis, the fund has delivered 13.05%, giving a broader sense of how returns have accumulated since the start of the year.
In terms of size, the fund holds a Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₦688.45M, placing it at #171 of 222 funds tracked overall and #29 of 42 within the Fixed Income / Bond Funds category. Those rankings suggest it is a mid-to-smaller fund by asset size relative to its peers. The NAV has grown modestly over the five weeks shown, rising from ₦681.29M on 5 June 2026 to its current level, indicating steady inflows or reinvested returns during that stretch. The fund currently serves 881 unitholders, meaning it has a relatively compact investor base, which can sometimes mean the fund is less widely known but not necessarily less competitive on returns.
Key insight: Despite sitting outside the top half of funds by size, the ARM Short Term Bond Fund is producing a WTD yield more than 33 times the category median, making its short-term return performance the standout figure for any investor comparing fixed income options right now.
