1 Smartfund Sharia Compliant Mandates 30 SEPTEMBER WHAT ARE THE SMARTFUND SHARIA COMPLIANT MANDATES? The Smartfund Sharia Compliant mandates are a set of volatility based investment strategies that give investors a wholly Sharia compliant return according to their assigned risk profile. Investments will be selected and reviewed in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limits set out in Appendix 1 of the Investment Mandate document. Only investments certified as Sharia compliant will be purchased. All investments will have been reviewed by approved Islamic scholars and the investment issued with a Fatwa. In particular no investments in the following will be permitted: Interest bearing certificates or accounts Non Islamic deposits at banks Non Islamic Insurance companies Alcohol Pork related substances Tobacco companies Gambling Pornography manufacturers, retailers and distributors INVESTMENT PROCESS DETAILS Custodian Each potential asset that is deemed appropriate for investment is reviewed by the Sharia compliance officer of the Islamic Bank of Britain. His final say confirms whether the asset can be included within the service. Strategic asset allocations have been developed for each of the risk based strategies, and relative return and volatility score is attached to each asset. Smartfund Administration then builds the portfolios from the permitted assets that are appropriate for each strategy. Smartfund Administration may also provide tactical overlay to the strategic asset allocation enabling the portfolios to take advantage of shorter term shifts or market trends and also valuation differentials between the assets.
