Islamic Investment & Services

Islamic Investment & Services

Malaysia offers a holistic set of Islamic capital market infrastructure, including products, stockbrokers, trust funds and debt securities (sukuk). Currently, there is one full-fledged Islamic stockbroking company and five conventional stockbroking companies that provide Islamic windows in the Islamic capital market.

In fulfilling the specific needs of private investors, there are also asset management companies that manage funds in accordance to the Shari’ah principles. These funds offer various investment mandates and invest in Malaysian and foreign capital markets, and are open to eligible local and foreign investors.

In our efforts to continuously increase the breadth of Islamic capital market investment offerings, the world’s first Islamic real estate investment trust (iREIT), the Al-‘Aqar Healthcare REIT was listed on Bursa Malaysia on 10 August 2006. It was set up by KPJ Healthcare which injected six of its hospitals into the fund. The second iREIT, the world’s first Islamic Plantation REIT called Al-Hadharah Boustead REIT was subsequently listed on Bursa Malaysia in early 2007. Then, in December 2008, Axis-REIT was successfully reclassified as Shari’ah compliant.

MyETF-DJIM25, Asia’s first Shari’ah compliant exchange traded fund (iETF) was listed on Bursa Malaysia on 31 January 2008. MyETF-DJIM25 tracks the Dow Jones Islamic Market Malaysia Titans 25 Index – a blue-chip index that tracks the 25 largest listed Malaysian companies that comply with Shari’ah investment guidelines.
More iREITs and iETFs are anticipated to deepen the offerings as these are attractive asset classes for investors who seek diversification.
