HwangDBS: Islamic investments not sufficiently represented globally

KUALA LUMPUR: To capture the huge untapped market for syariah-compliant investments locally and abroad, there is a need to attract and develop talent, develop in-depth understanding of the target market and innovate and customise Islamic products to meet customer requirements, said HwangDBS Investment Management Bhd international equities head Peter Chiang.

“Syariah-compliant investments are currently not sufficiently represented globally and hence the general lack of confidence in the performance of such investments,” he said at a media briefing entitled Syariah-complaint Investments – An Investment For All yesterday.
