In Conversation: The Dollar Matters
It is important to make an informed decision on your wealth plans to ensure that you are on track to achieve your financial goals. Here is an overview of what Shariah philosophy1 entails to aid your understanding prior to investing:
Prohibits interest (‘Riba), gambling (‘Maisir’), uncertainty, and risk (‘Gharar’).
Prohibits businesses related to alcohol, pornography, gambling, and pork-based products.
Both businesses and investors must share the associated risks and profits.
Each financial transaction must be tied to a tangible, identifiable underlying asset.
Shariah investing can benefit any investor irrespective of their religious faith, as long as you trust that the investment strategy and the portfolio are beneficial for you to grow your own wealth portfolio.
Though it is governed by more stringent requirements, its performance in the long term is comparable to a conventional investment2:
| Annualized Returns | 10Y | 20Y |
| Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100 Index | 11.19% | 7.10% |
| Dow Jones Global Index | 13.38% | 10.62% |
You have the desire to look for investment opportunities aligned with your religious belief but often face challenges due to limited options available and you need guidance on how to invest in one. Funds that invest with a Shariah approach can offer the investment solution and growth opportunity for your wealth portfolio.
PRULink Islamic Global Equity Index Fund3 is one such investment solution that enables you to unify your life values and wealth to build tomorrow your way.
