Europe maintained its position as the largest market for this asset class – posting a 2.1% quarter-on-quarter increase in assets under management (AuM), rising to US$4.14 billion from US$4.06 billion. The Americas remained the second largest region for Islamic ETFs by value – reporting a fall in AuM by 16.65% over Q1 2025, declining to US$2.75 billion from US$3.3 billion.
