Channel Islands Shariah AuM overweight on gold

CHANNEL ISLANDS: With just five Shariah public fund offerings tracked by the IFN Investor Funds Database for the Channel Islands, located off the UK, this industry punches well above its geographical size with a total AuM of US$9.12 billion at the end of 2025.

A single commodity fund, invested largely in gold, weighed in at US$8.26 billion – charting a 47.54% gain over the year from US$5.6 billion previously, boosted by surging global prices of this precious metal.

The money market fund AuM size stood at US$671.73 million as at Q4 2025, ahead of Sukuk (US$114.07 million), equities (US$45.62 million) and mixed assets (US$27.65 million).

The diverse asset offerings pose a potential growth trajectory, given that regulatory authorities at this jurisdiction are eyeing ways to foster this financial sector.
