[FAiWA Client Webinar] 1st Shariah-Compliant Asian Balanced Fund for retail investors

Date: 12 January 2022
Time: 8:00 PM

Maybank Asset Management Singapore (“MAMS”) has launched Singapore’s first Shariah-compliant balanced fund named Maybank Asian Growth and Income – Islamic Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund provides investors a unique mix of securities across Shariah-compliant Asian stocks, global Sukuks as well as gold ETFs. It drives the swift decision making needed in today’s fast-changing investment environment by combining Maybank Asset Management’s proprietary quantitative investing technology with the deep experience of its fund managers.

This ethically focused Islamic investments will serve the wealth management needs of Muslims and Non-Muslim investors who want to advocate socially responsible investing or champion Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing.

Contrary to the belief that Shariah investments offer limited potential returns as it is restrictive in scope, a market comparison of the Shariah universe of global stocks (DJIM World Index) versus the conventional stock universe (MSCI AC World Index) shows that the global Islamic equity index is comparable, if not outperforms the broader global equity index.
