Through ABL Emaan Funds, established in 2010, ABL Funds offers one of Pakistan's most comprehensive Shariah-compliant investment portfolios. This reflects our commitment to contributing to the growth of Islamic finance while fostering trust and promoting ethical, faith-based investment solutions. Over the years, we have introduced a complete range of Shariah-compliant mutual funds and voluntary pension schemes. These are structured to comply with Shariah guidelines while delivering competitive returns.

Building on this foundation, we have secured “Cambridge Excellence Award for Islamic Asset Management in Pakistan 2025” at the Cambridge Islamic Funds Awards (CIFA) 2025 that reaffirms its commitment to expanding Shariah compliant investment opportunities. Going forward, we will be actively working to further extend innovative investment products into the Islamic finance space, ensuring ethical and Shariah compliant investment avenues for a wider investor base. The latest addition to the product portfolio is ABL Islamic Sovereign Fund and upcoming ABL Islamic Fixed Rate Fund.

ABL Funds has also been recognised as the "Fastest Growing Brand of the Year 2024" in ‘Asset Management Services’ at the 14th Edition of the Brand of the Year Awards by the Brands Foundation, Pakistan. These recognitions are not just accolades - they validate our strategic leadership, market performance, and innovative approach to asset management.

The company's dedication to maintaining high standards is reflected in its AM1 rating by PACRA, the highest available rating for asset managers in Pakistan. This rating reflects not only its strong consistent market performance but also its effective risk management and transparent operational practices in delivering value to investors.

Beyond product innovation, ABL Funds has consistently worked to enhance financial literacy and awareness about Islamic investments, enabling a broader segment of the population to make informed financial decisions. With an emphasis on innovation and accessibility, we have embraced technology to transform the investment experience and provide seamless digital onboarding and investment solutions, ensuring that the investments are within easy reach for investors across the country.

Today, ABL Funds’ impressive portfolio spans twenty-two mutual funds and pension funds alongside various administrative plans. With approximately 274 billion rupees under management (as on July 31, 2025 excluding Fund of Funds), we are trusted by thousands of investors, both individuals and institutions to grow their wealth responsibly–making us one of the country's largest investment managers.

At ABL Funds, excellence in investment management is not just our commitment–it is our daily practice. Through personalised solutions, transparent communication, and continuous innovation, we are not just managing investments; we are helping build Pakistan's financial future, one investor at a time.
