What actually differs
JB Vantage Money Market Fund is run by JB Financial (Pvt) Ltd and Softlogic Money Market Fund by Softlogic Asset Management (Pvt) Ltd, so this compares two houses as well as two funds. Both are money market funds licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka, which means they are doing broadly the same job, and the differences below are differences in how each house has chosen to do it.
The two charge almost the same management fee, 0.50% and 0.40% a year. In a category where the funds hold similar instruments, a fee difference is often the largest durable difference between two products; here it is not, so the comparison rests on what each holds and how much its price has moved.
Their 180-day returns are close, +4.27% and +4.70%, which is common between two money market funds holding similar instruments over the same stretch. When returns converge like this, the fee and the price variability below are what actually separate the two over time.
Both have moved by a similar amount, with annualised volatility of 0.72% and 0.66%. For two funds in the same category that is the expected result, and it means neither has taken noticeably more price movement than the other to arrive at its return.
Softlogic Money Market Fund opens at LKR 5,000 where JB Vantage Money Market Fund requires LKR 1,000,000, so for a smaller first investment only one of the two is available at all.

Can I hold both funds at the same time?

This page sets out how two funds differ on measures we can state and date. It is not a recommendation, it does not say which fund is better, and CeylonFunds is not a licensed investment adviser. How every figure is calculated is in our methodology.
