Overview
We are one of UK’s most prominent Investment Manager dedicated to Ethical and Sharia compliant investment management. Our discretionary investment management service suits those who wish to give us the discretion to select and manage investments based on their investment objectives and risk profile.
Our Investment team makes day to day investment decisions on behalf of clients and actively monitors investment portfolios. Our investment portfolios consist of a diversified range of selected funds, ETFs and direct equities (US, UK and Europe) that we believe helps achieve optimum results based on a given risk profile.
We believe a strong governance framework should be the starting point for devising and managing investment portfolios. We have an Ethical committee and Investment committee that sets the broader framework within which our investment team operates.
Governance & oversight
Investments can easily and quickly run off course without a firm governance foundation. Our streamlined governance framework helps us stay focused on investment objectives, whilst effectively managing risks and market volatility. As part of our governance framework, we have an Ethical committee and the Investment committee to oversee and advise the investment team.
Ethical committee
Our Ethical committee provides an oversight of the investment management function (with respect to Sharia compliance) and acts as an advisory body on investment matters to ensure adherence to Sharia compliance. The committee meets at least annually to review investments and monitors adherence to set screening criteria within the Ethical Investment Policy Statement.
Investment committee

The committee meets at least quarterly to review the performance and composition of investment portfolios.

Investment process
We combine both top-down and bottom-up approach to formulate our investment strategies and construct portfolios based on investor objectives and risk profile. Top-down investing means making investment decisions based on the outlook for the economy and what that is likely to mean for individual assets. We look at various macroeconomic indicators including economic growth, inflation, interest rates, currency movements, political developments and global trends to help us identify key investment themes and opportunities in various sectors or industries. This helps determine our initial asset allocation parameters for various investment strategies.
Bottom-up investing focuses on individual assets rather than wider trends. At the initial stage of investment process, all available investments are screened for Ethical and Sharia compliance based on criteria specified in our Ethical Investment Policy Statement (EIPS). After which the Investment Manager applies our investment criteria for short listing stocks to conduct thorough due diligence in the next stage. If it’s a company we are analysing, we will consider a number of factors including market capitalisation, business valuation, business model, business specific risks, management, performance relative to competitors, whether company has strong market position and sustainable competitive advantage, earnings per share growth, dividend per share growth, dividend yield, operational ratios and more. Thereafter, we combine the research from both approaches to understand the impact of general economic environment on the stocks or investments in our ‘buy’ list. At the final stage, we formulate investment strategies and construct portfolios based on investor objectives and risk profile.
