Karachi: The Board of Directors of MCB Investment Management Limited has released the financial outcomes for the MCB Cash Management Optimizer for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. The board meeting took place at the Head Office in Karachi on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. Detailed financial statements such as the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Profit and Loss, and others were disclosed.

The total assets for the MCB Cash Management Optimizer decreased from 116.54 billion rupees in June 2025 to 94.36 billion rupees by the end of September 2025.

The net assets of the fund stood at 94.07 billion rupees as of September 30, 2025.

The number of units in issue decreased significantly, from 1,105,812,348 in June 2025 to 897,295,982 in September 2025. This change reflects a decline in the net assets value per unit, which rose from 102.3351 rupees in June to 104.8379 rupees in September 2025, a moderate move of 2.45%.

Earnings per unit were not disclosed due to impracticality in calculating the weighted average number of units. According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the income of the fund saw a minor move, decreasing from 3.23 billion rupees in September 2024 to 3.12 billion rupees in September 2025. Within this period, the capital gain on the sale of investments also shifted, recording a net of 125.902 million rupees.

Despite a decrease in operating expenses from 209,825 rupees in September 2024 to 350,903 rupees in September 2025, the net income post-taxation for the period was registered at 2.77 billion rupees. The comprehensive income for the period remains consistent with the net income indicating no additional comprehensive income adjustments.

Cash flows from operating activities showed a positive movement with a net cash generation of 5.61 billion rupees, contrasting with the previous year's negative cash flow of 40.44 billion rupees. Conversely, financing activities incurred a net cash outflow of 21.86 billion rupees due to the high payments against redemption and conversion of units.

As of September 30, 2025, the cash and cash equivalents had decreased to 62.45 billion rupees from 78.70 billion rupees at the beginning of the period, reflecting a significant move. The financial results reflect MCB's strategic approach to managing its cash management fund amidst fluctuating market conditions within the designated market category.
