Lucky Investments Limited has achieved an impressive "AM2" rating with a Positive Outlook from The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited (PACRA). This is a remarkable beginning for the new Islamic asset management company, poised to become Pakistan's leading provider of Shariah-compliant investment solutions. The company's vision is rooted in sustainable growth, integrity, and innovation.

CEO of Lucky Investments, Mohammad Shoaib, CFA, views the rating as evidence of their strong sponsor support, robust governance, and skilled management. He emphasized their dedication to continuously improving standards and expressed gratitude for the trust of stakeholders and investors.

The AM2 rating reflects the solid foundation established by the Company's sponsors, supported by significant capital and a strong governance framework. The active involvement of sponsors on the Board and key Committees enhances stakeholder confidence and ensures strategic oversight. PACRA's rating also acknowledges the expertise of Lucky Investments' management team, well-known in the market for its proven success.

The Company's leadership is committed to building a resilient institutional framework to support long-term performance and value creation. The Positive Outlook indicates promising initiatives underway, with further potential for growth. The management's approach demonstrates a strong commitment to professionalism, adherence to best practices, and innovation within the Islamic finance sector.

As a subsidiary of YB Pakistan Limited, Lucky Investments represents the YB Group's strategic entry into Islamic capital markets. This move is particularly timely, as Pakistan transitions towards a Shariah-compliant financial system, aiming to eliminate interest-based finance by December 2027, as directed by the Federal Shariah Court.

Capitalizing on the increasing demand for Islamic investment options, Lucky Investments made history by launching Pakistan's largest-ever mutual fund IPO, raising PKR 50 billion and surpassing all previous subscription records. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Mohammad Shoaib, CFA, a veteran with over three decades of experience in Pakistan's Islamic asset management industry, recognized for his pioneering role in developing Pakistan's capital markets and promoting Islamic finance.

Built on strong Islamic principles, Lucky Investments is dedicated to providing authentic Shariah-compliant investment and advisory services. Its mission is to be the preferred choice for investors seeking ethical, innovative, and sustainable financial solutions.
