Al Meezan Investment Management Limited (Al Meezan) is pleased to announce the launch of Meezan Capital Preservation Plan (MCPP-I), which is a plan based on the existing Meezan Financial Planning Fund of Fund (MFPF). The plan will use dynamic asset allocation strategy of Capital Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) for providing competitive returns while aiming to preserve the initial capital.
According to the CEO of Al Meezan Investments, Mohammad Shoaib, CFA, "This is the first ever Islamic capital preservation plan over a Fund of Fund in Pakistan and it is being launched on the demand of investors. We are confident that this will add a new dimension to address investors' need for capital preservation with a potential 100% exposure to the stock market."
MCPP-I objective is to enable investors to benefit from potentially high returns of a rising stock market while preserving their capital in a down-market by investing in Shariah compliant fixed income/money market based funds. The life of the plan is two years.
The past two similar schemes were Meezan Capital Preservation Fund - II (MCPF-II) and Meezan Capital Preservation Fund - III (MCPF-III) in which Al Meezan received an overwhelmingly positive response from its investors.
