The fund will invest in shares of Shariah compliant companies with potential for growth to achieve long term financial goals by investing in equities of dividend-paying companies listed in developed and emerging markets around the world.
Tariq Linjawi, head of wealth management at NCB Capital, said: "At NCB Capital, we believe that dividend-paying stocks play an increasingly important role in an investment portfolio, as dividends can provide a significant percentage of total return over time.
"Companies that pay regular dividends tend to enjoy solid streams of cash flow and are generally well-managed high quality firms. In today’s global low interest environment, dividends tend to provide on the long-term higher income than many fixed-income investments and a growth rate that is potentially faster than the rate of inflation in many markets around the world," he added.
