Lucky Investments surpasses Rs130bn AUM within a year

January 07, 2026 (MLN): Lucky Investments Limited has surpassed Rs130 billion in assets under management (AUM) within its first year of operations, a rare pace of growth that places it among the fastest-scaling Islamic asset managers in Pakistan’s capital market.

The achievement shows accelerating demand for Shariah-compliant investment products at a time when Islamic finance is expanding its share across Pakistan’s mutual fund.

Lucky Investments began operations in 2025 and introduced its first Islamic mutual fund in April of that year.

Within nine months, the company expanded its offering to seven Islamic funds along with multiple investment plans, attracting both retail and institutional investors.

Crossing Rs130bn in AUM in such a short period is significant in a market where asset managers typically take several years to reach comparable scale, according to the press release.

Industry data shows that Islamic mutual funds have been one of the fastest-growing segments of Pakistan’s asset management industry, supported by rising financial inclusion, preference for Shariah-compliant savings, and increased participation from corporate and pension investors.

Chief Executive Officer Mohammad Shoaib, CFA, said the AUM growth shows investor trust in Shariah-compliant investment structures and professional fund management.

He noted that the company’s focus remains on long-term wealth creation through Islamic financial solutions.

The company operates under a dedicated Shariah governance framework, with oversight from an independent Shariah advisor and a board comprising experienced professionals from Pakistan’s financial sector.

Its governance structure aligns with regulatory requirements set by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) for Islamic asset management companies.

Adding to its profile, Lucky Investments was recently recognized as Emerging Islamic Finance Entity of the Year 2025 South Asia at the 10th Islamic Finance Forum of South Asia, showing its rapid rise within the regional Islamic finance ecosystem.

Lucky Investments Limited is a group company of the Yunus Brothers (Lucky) Group, one of Pakistan’s largest conglomerates with interests spanning cement, textiles, energy, and financial services.

The group’s entry into Islamic asset management comes as competition intensifies among AMCs to capture a growing pool of Shariah-compliant savings.

With Islamic banking and mutual funds continuing to gain market share in Pakistan’s financial system, the pace at which Lucky Investments has accumulated assets underscores the sector’s momentum and the increasing role of Islamic asset managers in mobilizing domestic savings.
