What stands out about Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund
The Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund is the largest fund in its category, holding a Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₦16.67B and ranking #1 of 3 among Ethical Funds, while sitting at #50 of 222 across all funds tracked. Despite that strong size ranking, the fund has been losing value steadily over the past five weeks. Its NAV has fallen from ₦19.21B on 5 June 2026 to ₦16.67B by 3 July 2026, a decline of roughly ₦2.54B in under two months. The most recent Week-to-Date (WTD) yield sits at -1.92%, meaning the fund's value dropped by that percentage over the latest tracking week alone. This puts it well below the median WTD yield for Ethical Funds of 0.20%, so most peers in this small category are holding steadier or even gaining slightly while this fund continues to slide.
Zooming out to the full year gives a more encouraging picture. The Year-to-Date (YTD) yield of 46.80% shows that despite the recent rough patch, the fund has still delivered substantial growth since the start of the year for its 17,076 unitholders (people who own units, or shares, in the fund). The sharpest single-week drop in the recent run was -4.78% recorded on 26 June 2026, which appears to have triggered the bulk of the NAV decline seen in this period. The current slide may reflect short-term market movements rather than a reversal of the fund's longer-term trajectory, but the five consecutive weeks of negative WTD returns are worth watching closely.
Key insight: While the fund's full-year gain of 46.80% remains impressive, five straight weeks of negative weekly returns and a NAV drop of over ₦2.5B since early June signal a notable short-term downturn that investors should monitor carefully.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund show a negative week-to-date yield but a strong year-to-date return?+
A week-to-date yield of -1.92% means the fund's unit price fell in the most recent reporting week. This does not erase the 46.8% year-to-date return — it reflects short-term price movement in ethical 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 Ethical Fund's net asset value mean?+
Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund's NAV has fallen for 4 consecutive SEC updates, moving from NGN 19.21B to NGN 16.67B. For ethical 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 Ethical Fund and how does it affect returns?+
Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund has a bid price of NGN 6.54 and an offer price of NGN 6.65, a spread of NGN 0.11 (1.65%). 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 Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund?+
As of the SEC update on 2026-07-03, Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund reported a week-to-date yield of -1.92% and a year-to-date yield of 46.8%. Yields move over time and are published as indicators for comparison, not as a guaranteed future return.
