Shari’ah Compliant Investment – There’s Now An App For That
By: Ainsley Brown
On the go but want to check if that hot new stock tip you got is Shari’ah compliant?
Well now you can – Shari’ah compliance has gone mobile.
Amiri S3 or Shari’ah Screening System is a downloadable Blackberry application that allows its users to check over 38,000 stocks from all over the world to determine Shari’ah compliance. Amiri Capital, an alternative investment management company specializing in Shari’ah compliant investing, launched the app last year.
There is no word on any future plans to expand the app to other smartphone platforms but I am sure this will come in time.
