Description: This book reviews the Islamic asset management industry in detail, including the types of funds offered and their operational procedures. It shows that although there are differences between conventional and Islamic asset management, these do not appear to have a significant impact on how the funds perform. Sharia'a-compliant funds are therefore an attractive alternative for Muslim and non-Muslim investors alike. -- Book Jacket.
