Training on Islamic Asset Management and ESG Integration for Dual-Compliant Portfolios
Course Overview
What is Islamic Asset Management and ESG Integration?
Islamic asset management applies Shariah principles to investment portfolios, excluding interest-based instruments and non-permissible sectors—while ESG integration incorporates environmental, social, and governance factors into investment decision-making.
Many institutions struggle to align Shariah compliance with international ESG standards. Differences in screening methodologies, reporting requirements, and performance metrics create complexity in portfolio construction and investor communication.
This course provides a unified framework for building portfolios that satisfy both Shariah boards and ESG rating agencies. It combines Islamic screening, ESG integration techniques, and modern portfolio management strategies to deliver compliant, high-performing investments.
• Principles of Islamic asset management
• Shariah screening and purification processes
• ESG frameworks and rating methodologies
• Portfolio construction and diversification
• Risk-return optimization in compliant portfolios
• Impact investing and sustainable finance
• Reporting, disclosure, and compliance alignment
Participants will apply skills to:
• Build Shariah-compliant ESG investment portfolios
• Align investment strategies with global sustainability standards
• Attract ethical and institutional investors
• Optimize portfolio performance under compliance constraints
• Develop dual-compliant asset management products
• Strengthen reporting and transparency
By the end of the course, participants will be able to design, manage, and optimize investment portfolios that meet both Shariah and ESG requirements while delivering competitive financial returns.
