Islamic Global Equities

Islamic Global Equities offers investors an opportunity to invest in some of the world’s best growth companies. The strategy is committed to being different from the index and seeks companies that are pioneering and entrepreneurial in their respective fields while being fully Sharia-compliant.

We aim to identify companies that can grow their earnings at a superior rate to the market over sustained periods, with potential that is not reflected in their current price. This underpins our objective to deliver returns of 2% plus ahead of the benchmark over rolling five-year periods, net of fees.

Our objective extends beyond attractive investment returns. We actively engage with Islamic scholars to deepen our understanding of emerging issues and share our investor perspectives in order to expand the investible universe. We hope this dialogue benefits not only our clients but also the wider Islamic investment community.

We embrace the diversity of growth available to us. Our bottom-up, active investment approach results in a differentiated global equity portfolio holding 30 to 50 stocks, which invests in some of the world’s highest-quality growth companies.

Importantly, Islamic principles are considered at every step of the investment research and company monitoring process. This is complemented with input from the Shariyah Review Bureau (SRB) to ensure full compliance and a consistent application of standards and interpretation of the rules.
