Dual mandate in Malaysia

Article Abstract:

Malaysian Islamic mutual funds are not permitted by Islamic syariah laws to invest in gaming or financial companies. Normally this law makes it challenging for investors to find smart investments, but last year's drop in technology sector stocks, though harmful for many, did not affect the Islamic funds as badly as other funds. An accompanying table lists the percentage performance of the mutual funds for six months, one year and three years.
