What stands out about CardinalStone Equity Fund

The CardinalStone Equity Fund has delivered a standout Year-to-Date (YTD) return of 53.58% in 2026, making it one of the stronger performers in its category among Nigerian mutual funds. The fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) currently stands at ₦12.56B, placing it #6 of 18 in the Equity Funds category and #64 of 222 across all fund types. Despite a slightly negative Week-to-Date (WTD) yield of -1.47% in the most recent period, the fund is actually holding up better than most of its peers in the same category, where the median WTD yield sits at -1.75%.

Zooming into the fund's recent five-week history gives useful context. The NAV dipped to ₦12.34B on 5 June 2026, recovered to ₦12.53B by 11 June, then climbed to a recent peak of ₦12.61B on 19 June before pulling back slightly over the following two weeks to the current ₦12.56B. This pattern of short-term ups and downs is common in equity funds, where the underlying investments are shares in companies and prices move with the market. The fund currently has 2,847 unitholders, a relatively focused investor base, and is managed by CardinalStone Asset Mgt. Limited.

Key insight: Despite recent short-term dips, the fund's YTD yield of 53.58% and its above-median WTD performance relative to peers suggest it has been one of the more resilient equity funds in its category this year.

Frequently asked questions

Why does CardinalStone Equity Fund show a negative week-to-date yield but a strong year-to-date return?+

A week-to-date yield of -1.47% means the fund's unit price fell in the most recent reporting week. This does not erase the 53.58% year-to-date return — it reflects short-term price movement in equity funds. The WTD figure from SEC data covers one reporting week only and is not a reliable indicator of longer-term direction.

What is the bid-offer spread for CardinalStone Equity Fund and how does it affect returns?+

CardinalStone Equity Fund has a bid price of NGN 2.84 and an offer price of NGN 2.88, a spread of NGN 0.03 (1.20%). You buy at the offer price and redeem at the bid price, so the spread is an entry cost that your returns need to overcome before you are in profit. A tighter spread is generally more favourable for investors.

What is the current yield of CardinalStone Equity Fund?+

As of the SEC update on 2026-07-03, CardinalStone Equity Fund reported a week-to-date yield of -1.47% and a year-to-date yield of 53.58%. Yields move over time and are published as indicators for comparison, not as a guaranteed future return.

How to Read an Income Statement as an Investor

A company can report higher profit while its underlying business becomes weaker. Revenue may have grown because the company raised prices rather than sold more products. Profit may have increased because it sold a building, reversed an earlier loss or recorded a foreign-exchange gain. Earnings per share may have fallen because the company issued millions of new shares. The headline profit does not tell the full story. To understand how a company made its money, an investor must read the income statement.
