06 April 2009 | People and Companies | News | Absa Capital

Absa Capital, the investment banking division of Absa Bank Ltd, further redefined the local Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market today when it brought South Africa’s first Shari’ah compliant equity-linked ETF to market.

The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF tracks the FTSE/JSE Shari’ah Top 40 Index jointly established by London’s FTSE International Ltd (FTSE) and the JSE. The initial public offering for the Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF opened on 23 February and raised R27 million ahead of listing.

Commenting at today’s listing Vladimir Nedeljkovic, Head of ETFs and Index Products at Absa Capital said: “The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF is the first equity-linked Shari’ah compliant ETF in South Africa.

“The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF has effectively redefined the Muslim investment landscape in South Africa. It is a cost efficient, transparent and easy to access invest product that conforms to Shari’ah law,” said Nedeljkovic.

He expects the product to continue to be well received in a market that urgently requires more local Islamic investment products. There is an estimated 400 000 Muslim households in South Africa.

The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF provides investors with diversified exposure to the broad market through investing in one product and earning a market related performance. It also offers a credible Islamic investment opportunity aligning the South African Islamic investment market with global trends.

The Shari’ah screening of the index constituents is performed by Yasaar Ltd (Yasaar) using a two-step methodology. Yasaar represents all major Shari’ah schools of thought, creating a best practice approach that has credibility across all regions of the Islamic world. The ongoing screening of the Shari’ah compliance of the ETF is conducted by Absa’s Islamic Banking Shari’ah Supervisory Board.

Absa Capital’s NewGold ETF, the largest ETF in the South African market, with approximately R9bn in assets, is also Shari’ah compliant after it was approved by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board.

“The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF has effectively redefined the Muslim investment landscape in South Africa. It is a cost efficient, transparent and easy to access invest product that conforms to Shari’ah law,” said Nedeljkovic.

He expects the product to continue to be well received in a market that urgently requires more local Islamic investment products. There is an estimated 400 000 Muslim households in South Africa.

The Shari’ah Top 40 Index ETF provides investors with diversified exposure to the broad market through investing in one product and earning a market related performance. It also offers a credible Islamic investment opportunity aligning the South African Islamic investment market with global trends.

The Shari’ah screening of the index constituents is performed by Yasaar Ltd (Yasaar) using a two-step methodology. Yasaar represents all major Shari’ah schools of thought, creating a best practice approach that has credibility across all regions of the Islamic world. The ongoing screening of the Shari’ah compliance of the ETF is conducted by Absa’s Islamic Banking Shari’ah Supervisory Board.

Absa Capital’s NewGold ETF, the largest ETF in the South African market, with approximately R9bn in assets, is also Shari’ah compliant after it was approved by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board.
