• ✅ Focus on capital preservation during economic uncertainty

• ✅ Nationwide access via 100+ Bank Islam branches

• ✅ Fund options that include:

  • Opus Shariah Cash Extra Fund

Good for the Wallet, Good for the World 🌍

What sets this partnership apart is its ESG commitment. OpusAM is a signatory of the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment, meaning it’s not just about the money, it’s also about ethics, environment, and social responsibility.

Bank Islam’s Group Chief Business Officer, Mizan Masram, shares the same energy:

“This is not just about growing wealth, it's about preserving it responsibly and ethically.”
