What this means: MUFAP quotes income or debt fund returns as yearly rates, so "30 days +10%" means the fund earned at a pace of about 10% a year over those 30 days — not 10% in a month. The difference is in percentage points; rank 1 is the highest return in the category for that period.

Computed from 10 days of tracking since 27 Aug 2026 — figures marked not yet need more history than we have and are withheld rather than estimated. Every figure here is adjusted for distributions: a fund that pays out sees its NAV drop by the amount paid, which is not a loss to anyone holding it.
Who is this fund for?
What a typical income or debt fund is built to do. The offering document sets this fund's own terms.
- Suits
- Savers who want a steadier return than shares and can leave the money for a year or more. Prices move with interest rates, so a rate rise can cause a small dip.
- What it holds
- Government securities, sukuk, term finance certificates and bank placements. Aggressive income funds reach for longer maturities and weaker borrowers to earn more.
- Holding period
- One to three years

NBP Government Securities Plan VIII — NAV, returns and charges
NBP Government Securities Plan VIII is priced at Rs 13.2617 per unit as at 16 September 2026. No newer valuation has been published in 4 weeks, which is longer than a dealing-day gap and usually means the fund has stopped reporting rather than that its value has not moved. We hold only 10 daily observations for it, which is too short a run to measure risk from.
Over the last twelve months NBP Government Securities Plan VIII has returned 31.75%, on MUFAP figures published to 16 September 2026. Its published thirty-day figure is +8.53%. MUFAP publishes each window on its own basis — short periods are annualised for money market and income funds — so the shorter figure is not a slice of the twelve months one. These are the manager's published figures, net of the fund's own expenses but before any sales load you pay to enter or leave.
NBP Government Securities Plan VIII publishes a front-end load of 3. The back-end or contingent load is 0.00%. The total expense ratio year to date is 17.22%, which is already taken out of the returns above. The management fee inside that is 0.25%.
NBP Government Securities Plan VIII is classified by MUFAP as an Income fund. It is managed by NBP Fund Management Limited. The fund was launched in August 2025, so it has a record of about 1 year.

Distribution history
Cash or bonus units the fund has paid out per unit, newest first.
| Ex-date | Per unit (Rs) | Ex-NAV (Rs) | % of NAV |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 Aug 2025 | 0.0165 | 10.0000 | 0.16% |
On an ex-date the NAV falls by roughly the amount distributed. That is a transfer, not a loss — the cash left the fund and went to unit holders.
