Noor Bank plans Sharia-compliant European stock index

Noor Bank is all set to launch a Sharia-compliant and Sustainable Equity Index-linked investment, targeted at the bank’s high-net worth and priority banking customers, the bank’s treasurer Damian White said. Under the new index, the bank will offer its clients a basket of 20 chosen Sharia-compliant European equities screened for sustainability measures. The 100 per cent capital protected investment offers a fixed coupon for the first two years and the uncapped index performance at maturity at the end of three years. The format of the investment is through an Islamic structured deposit.
