REDmoney Group, the publisher of IFN, the longest-running Islamic finance news platform and publication, has soft launched IFN Investor, an Islamic investment intelligence platform featuring the world’s largest Islamic fund database, a global directory as well as news and market analyses.
Market research conducted by IFN, including focus groups and surveys, revealed that Islamic investment professionals are seeking insightful up-to-date news, analyses and opinions on the Shariah compliant investment landscape and more importantly, reliable and comprehensive data on Halal funds and products.
Working closely with the community and our partners, IFN has designed and built a proprietary platform featuring an expansive suite of specialist data and knowledge products on the whole spectrum of Islamic investment topics from equities and fixed income to regulations and technology. The offerings include, but are not limited to:
- Multimedia editorial coverage
- Weekly news alerts
- Fund database, a proprietary data bank of Shariah compliant funds
- Directory, a comprehensive register of Islamic fund managers
- Events — bespoke Islamic investment and asset management forums
Editorial coverage
A team of journalists and market experts covering the whole gamut of Islamic investment topics through a variety of media including breaking news, reports, interviews, analyses, product profiles and podcasts. Fresh content published daily is supported by a weekly news alert so that you never miss a story.
IFN Investor Fund Database
The largest database of Shariah compliant funds globally. Featuring 1,935 funds and current total assets under management of US$314.91 billion, and growing. The database is the first in the industry to also track funds from Iran, which have been elusive to other data providers due to data limitations. Fully interactive and dynamic, the IFN Investor Fund Database supports 26 data points, which are continuously updated using APIs.
IFN Investor Directory
Integrated with the IFN Investor Fund Database, the IFN Investor Directory is a comprehensive and growing list of asset managers in the Islamic investment space. Data points include company profile, contact details and Islamic portfolio.
IFN Investor Forum
High-level forums featuring global Islamic investment leaders tackling an array of carefully curated topics to address the most pertinent trends and issues of investments. Designed to promote engagement and facilitate discussions to aid investment decision-making processes. These events are held in the most advanced and attractive destinations for Islamic funds and investments: this year, IFN Investor Middle East Forum will take place in Dubai on the 25th April and IFN Investor Asia Forum in Kuala Lumpur on the 26th September.
