  • 49 - Ghost Stories #49 Shari'ah-compliant Investing

    Shari'ah-compliant investing is a fascinating area in the world of finance. For those of the Islamic faith who choose to invest in this way, these products offered by Satrix are an excellent way to diversify a portfolio - especially with the launch of the Satrix MSCI World Islamic ETF which listed on the market on 22 October 2024. For those who aren't familiar with the Shari'ah rules and for those who want to brush up on them, this discussion with Yusuf Wadee of Satrix is a great way to understand the technical process behind identifiying companies in an index that must be excluded to make it compliant with Shari'ah principles. Of course, this leaves a different sector exposure mix and a fund with far less underlying debt, so that's an interesting topic as well. Satrix Investments Pty Limited and Satrix Managers RF Pty Limited are authorised financial services providers. Nothing you have heard in this podcast should be construed as advice.

  • 46 - Ghost Stories #46 Does Factor Investing Work?

    Factor investing takes ETFs to the next level. Instead of tracking a stock index (like the JSE Top 40), these ETFs have a set of rules based on investment fundamentals like valuation multiples or even levels of debt. The sky is the limit with the creativity that goes into these factors, but do they actually work? To unpack these types of ETFs and the thinking behind them, Nico Katzke of Satrix joined me for an insightful discussion. Satrix Investments Pty Limited and Satrix Managers RF Pty Limited are authorised financial services providers. Nothing you have heard in this podcast should be construed as advice. Please do your own research and visit the Satrix website for more information on all their ETF products.
