Islamic Regional Asian Equity

Investment Philosophy:

We believe alpha is generated primarily from a consistent, disciplined stock selection process within Shariah guideline

We seek stocks with desirable characteristics:

  • Improving and sustainable business fundamentals
  • Attractive relative valuations
  • Increasing investor expectations

We support this with a tactical asset allocation overlay process that adjusts:

  • Tracking error and beta limits
  • Sector overweights / underweights
  • Country overweights / underweights

As a result, we focus on constructing portfolios with:

  • Earnings growth higher than market/consensus
  • Price Earnings Ratio (PER) lower than market
  • Dividend yield higher than market/consensus
  • Price/Book lower than market
