    About the session

    Global markets are always evolving, and for today's Shariah-conscious investor, that evolution brings fresh opportunity alongside new questions to navigate. Questions remain in clients’ minds: Where are the most compelling opportunities in Sukuk and Islamic equities right now? How do professional managers balance Shariah compliance with the pursuit of competitive returns? And what does a well-constructed Shariah portfolio look like in practice?

    Join us for a webinar hosted by Senior Investment Lead, Yulin Liu, as she speaks with two leading fund managers in global Islamic finance, Afiya Zaveri from Azimut Investment Management and Saurabh Chugh from Templeton Global Investments, as they explore the evolving Shariah investment landscape. The session will cover: 

    • What the outlook holds for this fast-growing asset class
    • Where the opportunities lie globally for Shariah investors
    • How professional managers navigate compliance without compromising on quality
