Fund profile
What stands out about Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund)
The Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund has recorded five straight weeks of negative Week-to-Date (WTD) yield, with the most recent reading falling to -1.35% for the week ending 3 July 2026. This is notably worse than the median WTD yield among Fixed Income (FI) / Bond Funds peers, which sits at +0.16%, placing this fund's short-term performance well below the midpoint of its category. Over that same five-week stretch, the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) has slid from ₦1.47B to ₦1.39B, a decline that suggests money is either leaving the fund or the underlying bonds it holds have fallen in price. Despite this recent dip, the fund still carries a Year-to-Date (YTD) yield of +13.81%, meaning investors who have been in the fund since the start of the year are still sitting on positive returns overall.
To put the fund in broader context, its current NAV of ₦1.39B ranks it #150 out of 222 funds overall, and #20 out of 42 within the Fixed Income / Bond Funds category, placing it roughly in the middle of its peer group by size. The fund has a very small investor base of just 33 unitholders, which means a single large withdrawal can move the NAV significantly and may partly explain the sharp recent declines. The fund is managed by Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Limited and, as its name suggests, follows a conservative approach, typically investing in lower-risk instruments like government bonds and fixed-income securities. The gap between its strong YTD result and its recent weekly losses is worth watching closely in the coming weeks.
Key insight: Despite a healthy year-to-date gain of +13.81%, the fund has now posted five consecutive weeks of negative returns, with its latest WTD yield of -1.35% sitting far below the category median of +0.16%, making the recent trend the most important signal to monitor right now.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund) show a negative week-to-date yield but a strong year-to-date return?+
A week-to-date yield of -1.35% means the fund's unit price fell in the most recent reporting week. This does not erase the 13.81% 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 Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund)'s net asset value mean?+
Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund)'s NAV has fallen for 4 consecutive SEC updates, moving from NGN 1.47B to NGN 1.39B. 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 Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund) and how does it affect returns?+
Stanbic IBTC Conservative Fund (Sub Fund) has a bid price of NGN 10,685.14 and an offer price of NGN 10,725.16, a spread of NGN 40.02 (0.37%). 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.
