Alfalah Asset Management Alfalah Islamic Money Market Fund
Islamic Investing in Punjab
Alfalah Asset Management's Islamic cash flagship: Rs 53.89 billion at June 30, 2026, reached within roughly three years of its April 2023 launch, with a 15.70% CAGR since inception and FY26's +10.22% beating the 9.37% benchmark. Fees run up to 1.25% with an AA(f) PACRA stability rating; minimums are genuinely retail at Rs 500 initial / Rs 100 subsequent through the Alfalah Invest App with Raast instant payments. Its distinguishing asset is verifiability: certification by Al-Hilal Shariah Advisors under Mufti Irshad Ahmad Aijaz, whose quarterly screening report on 533 PSX companies publishes the full numeric criteria (37% debt / 33% investments / 5% income) and the dividend-purification formula - the most complete methodology disclosure in its cohort.
Alfalah's Islamic money market fund pairs top-quartile results with the cohort's best paperwork. If you want to actually verify what 'Shariah-compliant' means before investing, Al-Hilal's quarterly reports let you check the screens, the purification math and even where scholars exercised judgment - nothing else in the mid-tier comes close. Returns have justified the asset gathering (Rs 53.9bn in three years; +10.22% in FY26). The complaints are modest: a paper load provision that shouldn't exist on a cash product, one notch less stability rating than HBL/ABL, and a JS-only website that makes the FMR PDF your real source of truth. For small savers wanting verifiable halal cash with Rs 500 entry, this is a top-three pick.
Pros
- The most verifiable Shariah methodology in the mid-tier: full numeric screens, purification formula and documented scholar decisions published quarterly
- Exceptional growth-adjusted returns: 15.70% CAGR since inception and a benchmark beat in FY26
- Rs 500/100 minimums plus Raast integration make it one of the most accessible halal cash funds
- Raast-integrated app onboarding ('Sahulat Sarmayakari') opens an account in minutes - top-tier accessibility for a bank-group AMC
Cons
- Front-end load provision up to 2.00% on a money market fund (peers Mahaana/Al Meezan MRAF are no-load)
- AA(f) stability is a notch below the AA+(f) carried by HBL's and ABL's equivalents
- Dual-shelf manager (conventional funds alongside), and its own certificate PDFs are unscannable image files - verification runs through Al-Hilal's reports instead

Why It's Halal
Alfalah's Islamic Money Market Fund is the flagship of a 16-scheme Shariah shelf certified by Al-Hilal Shariah Advisors, and the paper trail is the best in its cohort: Al-Hilal's quarterly Shariah Compliance Screening Report (March 2026 edition screened 533 PSX-listed companies) publishes the complete methodology - halal core business, interest-bearing debt below 37% of total assets, non-compliant investments below 33%, non-compliant income below 5% of gross revenue, illiquid assets of at least 25%, net liquid assets per share below market price - along with the purification formula (after-tax non-compliant income over operating profit, applied to the entire dividend) and even a documented case of scholar discretion (a temporary exemption for TPL Properties with reassessment scheduled). The fund itself has been a rocket: launched April 2023, Rs 53.89 billion by June 30, 2026, FY26 returns of +10.22% against a 9.37% benchmark and a since-inception CAGR of 15.70% spanning the high-rate era. Minimums are genuinely retail (Rs 500 initial, Rs 100 subsequent) with Raast-integrated digital onboarding. The load provision (up to 2%) exists on paper for a cash product, and the AA(f) rating sits a notch below the AA+(f) of HBL and ABL equivalents.
