Islamic asset mgt needs products, distribution to thrive

The infant Islamic management industry lacks a large enough range of products and distribution channels to increase to challenge its conventional peers in catering to Muslim wealth, experts said.

The nascent $1 trillion Islamic finance industry is walking a fine line between replicating conventional products and establishing its own genuine products that adhere to Islam's prohibition of interest.

Asset management is seen as a sector where the industry could easily create products according to its own set of values, but it has not yet established the range of products to compete with conventional asset management.
