Understanding Islamic Investment

Islamic Investing and Ethical Investing

Islamic asset management refers to professional investment management of Shariah-compliant securities (equities, Sukuk and other securities). The business of Islamic investment is grounded in Islamic finance principles, which aims to meet investors’ financial needs with integrity and in a manner that is fair, trustworthy, honest and ensures a more equitable wealth distribution. Islamic investing is beginning to not merely being seen as a religiously guided investment but also as an ethical form of investing that promotes real economic activities that are socially desirable.

The net effect of this investment approach is generating competitive investment returns and encouraging ethical business practices.

Investment Based on Social & Moral Values

Similar to socially responsible investing, Shariah-compliant investing mandates social values & good governance by filtering out businesses that engage in activities, which among others, deemed unethical, such as:

  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Pornography
  • Gambling
  • Weapon etc. armaments, etc.

Hence, Islamic asset management is a social and moral value-based investment alternative to the ethical investment approach.
