Islamic World Equity

A core portfolio for all weathers

Come rain or shine, we need a portfolio that caters to all weather conditions, offers sustainable growth and stability when it matters most.

Market downturns are unavoidable. However, Shariah-compliant companies typically have less debt compared with conventional firms. Companies that have less debt particularly during downturns can focus on their business with fewer concerns about their cash flow, and hence are better positioned to offer steady growth for investors.
