What are Shariah-compliant unit trusts?
Shariah-compliant unit trusts pool the resources of investors into one large fund, which can be spread over a number of different investments and over a wide geographical area. These unit trusts are managed by professional fund managers and have varying levels of risk and return.
Shariah-compliant unit trusts will exclude investments in companies involved in non-Shariah compliant activities, such as products or services related to conventional banking, insurance and financial services, gambling, alcoholic beverages and non-halal food products.
A Shariah-compliant unit trust fund must follow a variety of rules, including investing only in Shariah-compliant companies, appointing a Shariah board, carrying out an annual Shariah audit and purifying certain types of income prohibited by Shariah law, such as interest, by donating them to charity.
Whether you are making your first investment, or adding an investment to your portfolio, at HSBC you can choose from a range of funds to match your attitude to risk and investment goals.
