Strategically Positioning Shariah Investing in America for a New Era
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From a high-level perspective, we assess the state of Shariah-compliant investment management in North America and how it is adapting to the needs of a digital-first Muslim investor base. Discussion will focus on how ETFs, SMAs, model portfolios, and fintech platforms are shaping product design, distribution, and investor education. Panellists will assess how Islamic strategies are being positioned within the broader values-based investing landscape, where innovation is happening, and what gaps still limit scaling across RIAs, family offices, and wealth-tech channels.
