Sharia-compliant investments are governed by Islamic law. Similar to other funds within the environmental, social and governance (ESG) universe, Sharia-compliant funds screen investments for specific requirements desired by followers of Islam. The main requirement for a Sharia-compliant fund is the exclusion of investments which derive the majority of their income from the sale of alcohol, gambling pornography and weapons. Additional requirements include the appointment of a Sharia board, and annual Sharia audit, and purifying certain types of income by donating them to charity.
