We provide an overview of values-based investing including impact & Sharia-compliant investing strategies & the role of Qardus as a platform that promotes financial inclusion.
by Mufti Faraz Adam - Sharia Advisor for Qardus
In this article, Mufti Faraz begins by discussing that non-interest debt financing and equity financing have both been permitted in Islam. He then proceeds to examine the different factors that a business would consider when choosing debt versus equity financing.
While there is no universally accepted definition of ethical finance, the Ethical Finance Hub describes it as "A system of financial management or investment that seeks qualitative outcomes other than purely the management of returns. Outcomes sought may reflect ideas from faith, social, environmental and governance theories."
Islamic finance refers to a financing system which is modeled on Islamic principles such as no interest-based products, transparency, fairness, equitable products, manageable debt products, risk-sharing products and many other noble concepts. Islamic finance includes Islamic banking, Islamic capital markets, Islamic money markets, Islamic insurance (Takaful), Islamic microfinance and Islamic wealth management firms.
We charge an arrangement fee ranging from 2% to 5% that is paid by the small business seeking financing on drawdown of the funds. In practice, it will be retained from the advance.
We offer secured and unsecured business financing in the UK with an average ticket size up to £100k and terms of up to 24 months. Later on, we plan to offer asset financing with longer duration.
