Integrating values with financial choices has been practiced throughout history. In fact, the roots of the ethical investing movement today can be traced back to Biblical times within the Jewish & Islamic traditions.
Within the Islamic tradition, in particular, there is a set of principles called Sharia law which governs various aspects of day-to-day living including finances and investments.
Ultimately, Sharia finance law is centred around the concepts of social justice, ethics, and using finances to help build communities.
Haven Wealth have recently launched their Absolute Return Fund which has been built using Sharia principles. I chat with Nick Heuzenroeder, the Managing Director of Haven Wealth to further explore this fund’s unique approach.
