Description
Shari'ah-compliant investing is a fascinating area in the world of finance. For those of the Islamic faith who choose to invest in this way, these products offered by Satrix are an excellent way to diversify a portfolio - especially with the launch of the Satrix MSCI World Islamic ETF which listed on the market on 22 October 2024.
For those who aren't familiar with the Shari'ah rules and for those who want to brush up on them, this discussion with Yusuf Wadee of Satrix is a great way to understand the technical process behind identifiying companies in an index that must be excluded to make it compliant with Shari'ah principles. Of course, this leaves a different sector exposure mix and a fund with far less underlying debt, so that's an interesting topic as well.
