8 SHARIA COMPLIANT INVESTING I Sharia compliant investments are investments that meet the guidelines set by Muslim scholars based on the teachings of Islam (Quran and Sunnah). Before investing, an Islamic investor needs to take into consideration various aspects about the company to determine if the investment is permissible from a Sharia point of view. These considerations can be broadly categorised into the following: - Activities (i.e. nature of the business being conducted including ancillary activities) - Capital Structure (i.e. leverage ratios) - Tradability (i.e. level of liquid and financial assets) - Unlawful Income (i.e. interest income) Investment Guidelines: The Islamic funds available to a client will invest in companies that meet both the qualitative and quantitative criteria.

9 SHARIA COMPLIANT INVESTING II Qualitative Criteria: Investment funds must not hold investments in the following sectors: - Conventional financial services (banking, insurance, etc) - Alcohol & Tobacco - Pork related products - Weapons and defence - Gambling - Entertainment (hotels, casinos, cinema, night clubs, pornography, prostitution, music, etc) Quantitative Criteria: Investment funds will hold investments in companies that follow the following financial criteria: - Total debt/market capitalisation < 33% - Interest income/ total revenue < 5% - Account receivable/total assets <45%
