ESG Investing
There’s been a big rise in green and ESG investing as more and more of us want to invest in companies that have a positive impact on our world.
What is green investing?
Green investing supports business practices that have a favourable impact on the natural environment, for example companies or projects committed to conserving natural resources, reducing pollution or other environmentally conscious activities.

What is Sharia finance?
Shariah finance is a type of financial system that operates in accordance with the principles of Islamic law. It is a system of finance that is based on ethical and moral values and prohibits any transactions or investments that are considered harmful to us humans and the planet.
One of the important principles of Shariah finance is the prohibition of speculation or Gharar. This means that any financial transactions must be based on real assets and cannot involve any uncertainty or speculation. This ensures that financial transactions are grounded in real economic activity and do not contribute to market instability or financial crises.

Shariah finance also promotes social justice and ethical business practices:
Ethical Investment: Shariah-compliant investments adhere to strict ethical and moral principles based on Islamic law, which promotes social justice, fairness, and transparency. This means that investments are made in companies and industries that are in line with ethical values and principles.
Diversification: Shariah-compliant investments offer a wide range of investment opportunities, including equities, sukuk (Islamic bonds), real estate, and commodities.
Stability: Shariah-compliant investments are based on real assets and economic activity, and not on speculation or interest-based transactions. This can provide investors with greater peace of mind and confidence in their investments.
Profit and Loss Sharing: Shariah-compliant investments follow a profit and loss sharing (PLS) model, which means that both the investor and the issuer share in the profits and losses of the investment. This creates a partnership-based approach to investment and aligns the interests of the investor and the issuer.
The value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
