Lead Balanced Fund

The headline story for Lead Balanced Fund is its strong short-term performance relative to its peers. The fund posted a Week-to-Date (WTD) yield of 1.37% for the most recent period, while the median WTD yield across all Balanced Funds was -0.43%. That means most similar funds actually lost value over the same stretch, making Lead Balanced Fund a clear standout. Its Year-to-Date (YTD) yield of 37.07% reinforces this picture, showing that the gains are not just a single-week story but part of a broader run across 2026. In terms of size, the fund holds a Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₦2.13B, placing it at #129 of 222 across all funds and #18 of 29 within the Balanced Funds category.

Looking at the recent NAV history adds useful context. The fund's NAV climbed from ₦2.08B on 5 June 2026 to a peak of ₦2.23B on 19 June 2026, before easing back to ₦2.13B by 3 July 2026. This small pullback from the peak is worth noting, though the overall direction over the five-week window is still upward. The WTD yield has held steady at exactly 1.37% across every data point in this period, suggesting the fund's short-term return has been consistent rather than erratic. With only 158 unitholders, this is a relatively small community of investors, which means individual large transactions could have a more noticeable effect on the NAV than in a much larger fund.
