What stands out about Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund

The Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund, managed by Guaranty Trust Fund Managers, has delivered a strong Year-to-Date (YTD) return of 37.31%, which stands as the headline strength of this fund when viewed over the full year so far. With a Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₦20.79B, it ranks #4 of 42 funds in the Fixed Income / Bond Funds category and #41 of 222 across all funds tracked, placing it comfortably among the top performers in its peer group. The fund serves 13,355 unitholders, reflecting a meaningful level of investor participation.

However, the more recent picture tells a different story. Over the past five weeks, the fund's NAV has declined steadily from ₦24.29B on 5 June 2026 to ₦20.79B on 3 July 2026, a drop of roughly ₦3.5B in about a month. The Week-to-Date (WTD) yield, which measures how the fund performed in the most recent week alone, came in at -1.99%, which is notably below the median WTD yield of 0.16% recorded across other Fixed Income / Bond Funds this week. The sharpest single-week decline in this stretch was -4.09% in the week ending 26 June 2026, suggesting a period of turbulence that has only partially eased in the latest reading.

Key insight: Despite an impressive YTD gain of 37.31%, this fund has been losing value consistently over the past five weeks, and its latest weekly return of -1.99% falls well below the category median of 0.16%, making the recent downward trend the most important thing to watch right now.

Frequently asked questions

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

A week-to-date yield of -1.99% means the fund's unit price fell in the most recent reporting week. This does not erase the 37.31% year-to-date return — it reflects short-term price movement in fixed income / bond funds. The WTD figure from SEC data covers one reporting week only and is not a reliable indicator of longer-term direction.

What does the recent decline in Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund's net asset value mean?+

Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund's NAV has fallen for 4 consecutive SEC updates, moving from NGN 24.29B to NGN 20.79B. For fixed income / bond funds, a declining NAV typically reflects falling unit prices driven by underlying market movements. Performance depends on when units were acquired — investors who entered earlier may still be in a net gain position depending on the original price.

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

Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund has a bid price of NGN 5.46 and an offer price of NGN 5.53, a spread of NGN 0.07 (1.27%). 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 Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund?+

As of the SEC update on 2026-07-03, Guaranty Trust Equity Income Fund reported a week-to-date yield of -1.99% and a year-to-date yield of 37.31%. Yields move over time and are published as indicators for comparison, not as a guaranteed future return.
