Podcast: New Satrix MSCI World Islamic ETF

The conversation between The Finance Ghost and Yusuf Wadee, Head of Exchange Traded Products at Satrix, provided valuable insights into Shariah-compliant investing and its growing relevance in today's market.

Starting with the fundamentals of Islamic finance, Yusuf Wadee explained how approximately 90% of conventional investment products do not meet Shariah requirements, highlighting the need for specialised investment solutions. The discussion centred on Satrix's new MSCI World Islamic Feeder ETF, which offers investors access to Shariah-compliant global equities at competitive fees. Unlike traditional ESG frameworks, Shariah compliance follows strict, well-established principles that exclude companies involved in prohibited activities such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and conventional financial services. The screening process also filters out companies with excessive leverage or interest exposure.
