EPF could double the Shariah AUM
Employees Provident Fund expects to see 1.5 mn of its 6.7 mn depositors migrate their retirement savings to a new Shariah compliant plan within the first year of its projected launch in January 2017. This would account for RM100 bn in pensions savings, EPF CEO Shahril said in Feb 2016. Thus, Shariah AUM could easily double from its current RM101 bn.

Food for thought: Does this mean that Shariah heavyweight sectors such as Industries, Telco, Utilities and Plantations will command significant premiums, as Shariah funds become more dominant?
The bulk of the banking sector is non-Shariah. Does this mean that the banking sector in Malaysia could derate?
