Saturna leads the way in making Islamic-based investment more available to the masses

Saturna Sdn Bhd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the US-based Saturna Capital, which specializes in Islamic-compliant investment advisory services for individuals and institutions. The company is a licensed Islamic fund manager under the Securities Commission of Malaysia and is the adviser to the ASEAN Equity Fund and the ICD Global Sustainable Fund.

In March, the leading shariah-compliant financial services firm launched its digital platform to help investors grow their wealth ethically and securely. According to Pn. Shahariah Binti Shaharudin, President of Saturna Sdn Bhd, “the new platform is accessible enough for anyone to start investing in shariah-compliant solutions instantly, regardless of their experience or investment budget.”

In a conversation with #biztechasia, Pn. Shahariah spoke about how the events of the past few years, from the 2008 financial crisis to the Covid-19 pandemic, have inspired a paradigm shift in the way we view investing and increased the appetite for socially-conscious metrics. She also touched on the firm’s extensive expertise in Islamic-based fund management, which is why it is well-positioned to meet this demand with alternatives to conventional financial planning solutions.

Additionally, Pn. Shahariah Binti Shaharudin, President of Saturna Sdn Bhd, shared insights on:

• The company’s presence in Malaysia and its link to the parent company, Saturna Capital.
• The firm’s embodiment of a hybrid approach which incorporates the old economy and fintech to offer value to its clients.
• Saturna’s compliance with ESG standards, where its investments are made in companies that engage in socially-responsible and environmentally-friendly business practices or products.
• The firm’s goals for 2023.
• Fundamental investment tips for Malaysians to rebuild their savings.
