Case for Islamic Asset Management

The development of Islamic asset management has been driven by rising demand for Shariah-compliant ¹ investments from an estimated population of 1.65 billion ² Muslims worldwide, approximately 24% of the world population. Its relevance as an alternative investment class for all investors, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, has accelerated with the rising importance of business ethics and fiscal conservatism.
