Ethical finance frameworks, particularly those aligned with religious teachings such as Islamic finance, are increasingly prominent in shaping investment strategies worldwide.

In East Africa, the significant Muslim population (estimates suggest more than 250 million Muslims reside in sub-Saharan Africa) and the strong focus on social impact and sustainability among the next generation of UHNW and HNW families are vital aspects driving this shift.

Faizal highlighted Jersey’s growing appeal as a jurisdiction of choice for Shari’a-compliant finance solutions for global investors. Specifically detailing our deep understanding of traditional and modern finance, forward-thinking regulatory environment and commitment to sustainable finance.
