The Samtl Mixed Income Fund's most striking feature right now is its Week-to-Date (WTD) yield of 1.12%, which is far above the median WTD yield of 0.16% recorded across all Fixed Income / Bond (FIB) funds this week. That means this fund is currently generating returns at roughly 7 times the typical pace of its peers in the same category, a notable performance for any short-term window. Year-to-Date (YTD), the fund has returned 22.35%, which adds further weight to the idea that it has been an active performer over a longer stretch, not just a single good week. In terms of size, the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) sits at ₦288.18M, placing it #201 of 222 funds overall and #35 of 42 within the FIB category, meaning it is a relatively small fund compared to most of its peers.
Looking at the recent history adds important context to this week's positive result. The fund went through a rough patch just one week prior, posting a WTD yield of -3.40% on 2026-06-26, which pulled NAV down sharply from ₦296.67M to ₦284.76M. The recovery this week to ₦288.18M and a WTD yield of 1.12% suggests some bounce-back, but the fund has not yet returned to its earlier NAV levels. The fund also serves a very small community of 117 unitholders (people who hold units in the fund), which means that large movements by even a few investors can have an outsized effect on the NAV. This kind of volatility, where NAV swings noticeably from week to week, is worth keeping in mind when thinking about how stable or predictable this fund has been over recent weeks.
Key insight: While this week's WTD yield of 1.12% looks impressive against the category median of 0.16%, the fund posted a steep -3.40% just one week earlier, signalling that short-term results here can shift quickly and dramatically.

Samtl Mixed Income Fund reported a week-to-date yield of 1.12%, compared to the category median of 0.16% for fixed income / bond funds. A higher yield often reflects the rate environment at the time the fund's instruments were acquired, the fund's portfolio mix, or its pricing structure. Past yield performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Samtl Mixed Income Fund has a bid price of NGN 140.99 and an offer price of NGN 142.07, a spread of NGN 1.08 (0.76%). 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.
As of the SEC update on 2026-07-03, Samtl Mixed Income Fund reported a week-to-date yield of 1.12% and a year-to-date yield of 22.35%. Yields move over time and are published as indicators for comparison, not as a guaranteed future return.
