Sands Capital to offer Sharia-compliant equity portfolios

Sands Capital Management today announced the launch of a global growth equity strategy that enables institutional investors to allocate capital to a concentrated portfolio of leading growth businesses that comply with Sharia principles. The strategy is offered through segregated accounts that can be customized to a client’s needs.

A U.S. based investment management firm focused exclusively on growth investing, Sands Capital’s approach features deep, fundamental, business-focused research. Based on this research, the firm identifies businesses expected to grow into exponentially larger enterprises, capable of translating superior earnings growth into shareowner value over five years or more. The firm’s strategies concentrate investments in these businesses through high-conviction portfolios that differ greatly from the indexes. With a nearly 30-year track record, the firm has been gaining new mandates and increased allocations from investors across the Middle East.

“Sands Capital exists to add value and enhance the wealth of our clients with prudence over time. As a mission-driven, client-centered, global investment manager, we believe we are especially well suited to provide growth capital solutions that help Islamic investors achieve their financial goals,” said Stephen Nimmo, Executive Managing Director at Sands Capital.
