ESG Investing and Shariah-Compliance: A Match Made in Heaven?

The research aims to investigate the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing and shariah-compliant funds. The research will examine whether ESG factors align with shariah-compliant principles, and if so, whether integrating ESG criteria into shariah-compliant funds enhances their performance. The study will also explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of combining ESG and shariah-compliant investment strategies. The research will involve a thorough analysis of the literature on ESG and shariah-compliant investing. The findings of this research could have implications for investors, fund managers, and policymakers interested in sustainable and socially responsible investing.
