compliant Unit Trusts
through diversified investments
An Islamic unit trust comprises of a joint pool where investors contribute capital for investment purposes to earn profits in adherence to the principles, rules and regulation of Syariah law. It will exclude investments in companies involved in non-Syariah compliant activities such as products or services related to alcohol, gambling, tobacco, non-halal food product, interest-based lending, conventional insurance, military arms and ammunition and other activities deemed non-permissible according to Syariah law.
Our Regular Savings Plan lets you access a long term and affordable investing strategy called dollar cost averaging. This plan allows you to take advantage of the occasional drops in the market by setting aside money that you invest in every month consistently. Historically, dollar cost averaging allows disciplined investors achieve their long-term financial goals with less monthly commitments than saving money with fixed deposits. You can start from as low as $100 per month.
Our Islamic Unit Trusts must follow a variety of rules. These rules include investing only in Syariah-compliant companies, appoint a Syariah Advisory Body, carrying out periodic Syariah audit and purifying certain prohibited types of income, such as interest, by donating them to charity. Once a unit trust meets our fund selection process, our Syariah Advisory Body also reviews the decisions of the fund manager’s Syariah advisers and endorse the unit trust as part of the approval process.
You can check the performance of your investment portfolio any time via our Online Banking or SC Mobile App. Plus, you can download your monthly portfolio statement and retrieve past statements up to 12 months.
Any investors, whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims, can invest in Islamic unit trusts. Some investors may invest in Islamic unit trusts for religious reasons, and some may regard them as socially responsible products. Other investors may invest in Islamic unit trusts in order to seek diversication in their portfolio.

The Syariah compliance of a Unit Trust is established and vetted by an internal committee of scholars or by external consultants, expert in Syariah, engaged by the Unit Trust manager. The Syariah Advisory Body of Standard Chartered Securities (B) Sdn Bhd (“SCSB”) endorses the decision of such scholars or consultants but does not independently verify the continuing compliance with Syariah of the Unit Trust’s investment activities nor the Unit Trust manager’s activities or processes. Insofar as you wish or are required for any reason to enter only into transactions or investments which comply with Syariah, you shall seek independent advice at your own expense and/or satisfy yourself as to the Syariah compliance of the Unit Trust, and the Unit Trust manager’s transactions or investments by making your own investigations and not relying on any written declaration, fatwa, opinion or other documents prepared by, on behalf or at the request of the Unit Trust manager or SCSB for the purpose of determining or coforming that the transactions or investments are Syariah compliant.
