We’re thrilled to announce our first Sharia-compliant fund in partnership with Misr Insurance and Arab African Investment Management.
A highly-liquid fund: Misr Takaful Fund is a money market fund that offers daily subscriptions and daily redemption. It is considered a low-risk, liquid investment instrument. Investors enjoy compounded daily returns to ensure that they get the most flexibility out of their investment.
Our first Sharia-compliant fund: The fund invests mainly in Egyptian T-Bills designated as Shariah-compliant by an internal committee led by Dr. Ali Gomaa, the former Grand Mufti of Egypt.
A low-risk way to invest: The fund invests in low-risk instruments, including up to 90% in Egyptian T-bills and 49% in Egyptian T-Bonds. It also has the flexibility to invest in other Shariah-compliant products after the Shariah Committee’s approval. The fund returns are also exempted from tax payments.
