How does Shariah compliance work? 8 Dividend Purification - The proportion of a company’s Haram profitability is calculated by S&P. Dividends, when received, are stripped of this Haram profitability and proceeds are channelled to charity. Treatment of cash balances - The Fund deposits unutilised cash into an Islamic money market account as the first choice. If an Islamic account is not available, the monies will be deposited in a non-interest bearing account. The Fund cannot go overdrawn or use financial leverage.
What is our investment philosophy? 1) We believe that markets are not fully efficient • Emotion interferes with the human decision making process. • Behavioural Biases are numerous and universal. • Pricing anomalies offer profit potential. I’ve got a hunch about this one... Stock X is Hot, I’d better get on board... I’ll hold on, the shares should recover... I’d better bank my profit now... My 15-Year DCF model says BUY... Overconfidence Herd Behaviour Trend Extrapolation Loss Aversion Regret Aversion Overconfidence Examples of common ‘Cognitive Errors’
What is our investment philosophy? 1) Academic Research – A categorization of Biases Source: Arnott , 1998: “A Taxonomy of Decision Biases”
What is our investment philosophy? 2) Systematic investors can overcome behavioural biases • Systematic investment strategies avoid emotion and focus on the fundamentals. • Stock analysis ‘by numbers’ can be tailored to specific sectors and regions. • Strategies can be designed to dynamically adapt to the macro-economic climate. Is the stock cheap or expensive vs. Peers? Is the balance sheet strong, are shareholder returns high? Which of these is most important right now? Are price trends & Earnings Revisions positive? Value Momentum Quality Style/Timing Key ‘Fundamental’ questions, that can best be answered by a ‘Quantitative’ process.
