Shariah-compliant equity funds tend to perform better than conventional equity funds during periods of market downturns. Why is that so?



This is mainly because Shariah-compliant funds do not invest in the following stocks which tend to underperform the broader markets during periods of market consolidation:





Public Mutual’s Investment Strategy in Managing Shariah-compliant Funds:



1. Our Shariah-compliant funds have focused their positioning in:



  • Sectors that are considered to be more resilient, such as:
  • Sectors with growth potential:
Healthcare Technology
Consumer E-commerce
    Industrial & Manufacturing


2. Our foreign Shariah-compliant funds generally focus on:



  • Companies that are well-positioned to leverage on the growth of the global digital revolution.
  • Established corporate leaders with a strong competitive advantage in the industries they operate, dominant market shares as well as a strong global presence.
  • Companies with low leverage, healthy balance sheets and relatively lower volatility of earnings.


3. The Shariah screening process removes companies with high levels of debt from the stock universe of Shariah-compliant funds. Companies with reasonable debt levels tend to be more resilient during the economic downturn and this, in turn, helps to reduce the funds’ volatility.
