Opis

A guide to Sharia'ah-compliant fund systems for students, industry professionals and investorsWhat's the difference between conventional and Islamic asset management? This book reviews the Islamic asset management industry in detail, including the types of funds offered and their operational procedures, and finds that the differences are surprisingly minimal. Sharia'ah-compliant funds are therefore an attractive alternative for Muslim and non-Muslim investors alike.
