How to compare Pakistan's money-market funds with data (not brochures)

Pakistan has 567 active mutual and pension funds from 25 asset managers (MUFAP). Comparing them fund by fund on AMC websites is slow. The PakDataHub fund screener returns every fund's latest NAV, trailing returns and expense ratio in one call.

#One call for the whole market

curl -H "X-API-Key: pk_live_xxx" "https://api.pakdatahub.com/v1/funds/screener"

#Ranked by 1-year return

Money Market category, as of 24-25 September 2026, from MUFAP's reported returns:

The top of the category is tightly bunched, so the expense ratio matters as much as the headline return. For context, the median TER across all funds is 0.98%. The table is data, not investment advice; past returns don't predict future ones.

#Do it yourself in pandas

import httpx, pandas as pd
H = {"X-API-Key": "pk_live_xxx"}
s = pd.json_normalize(httpx.get("https://api.pakdatahub.com/v1/funds/screener", headers=H).json()["data"])
mm = s[s["category"] == "Money Market"].dropna(subset=["returns.y1"])
print(mm.sort_values("returns.y1", ascending=False)[["name", "amc", "returns.y1", "ter_ytd"]].head(10))

Swap the category for Shariah Compliant Money Market, Income or Equity. The largest categories are Fixed Rate/Return (55 funds), Income (50) and VPS Shariah Money Market (50).
