By ReturnKoto? Published

One-year total return for every Bangladeshi mutual fund we track, with the places gained and lost since the last report. Figures through 2 September 2026.

The one-year total return of every tracked fund with at least a year of history, recalculated from NAV history through 2 September 2026. Dividends reinvested.

35 funds have a full year of history. The leader, CWT Emerging Bangladesh First Growth Fund, returned 17.42% over the year; the middle fund returned 8.55%, and 35 of 35 funds ended the year higher.

Leading over one year

The five highest one-year returns. Bar colour is the fund type.

Trailing over one year

The three lowest one-year returns. A red bar would mean a loss.

The middle fund of each type

Leaders and trailers are the extremes. The middle fund of each type is the more typical one-year outcome for that kind of fund.

1 fund joined the one-year table since 30 August 2026: IDLC Balanced Fund. Every fund ranked below a newcomer drops a place for that reason alone.

A high one-year figure is a fact about a period that has already closed, not a forecast. It is most useful for deciding which funds are worth reading about properly.

Common questions

How often is this report produced?

Once a week, generated automatically from the same NAV history behind the rest of the site. Nothing in it is written by hand.

Why one-year returns rather than a longer window?

One year is short enough for week-to-week changes to show, and every fund in this report has at least that much history, so the whole list ranks together. The ranking over the longest window every tracked fund shares is in the best-performing funds post, and longer windows are on each fund's own page.

Do the rankings include dividends?

Yes, reinvested, which is the default basis across the site.
