The updated list, which will take effect on 30 November 2012, features a total of 817 Shariah-compliant securities. These counters constitute 89 per cent of the total 923 listed securities on Bursa Malaysia.
The list includes thirteen (13) newly classified Shariah-compliant securities and excludes five (5) from the previous list issued in May 2012. It also indicates that Shariah-compliant securities are well represented in all sectors of industry (see tables attached).
The full list, which is updated twice a year, is now available on the SC website at www.sc.com.my. The next updated list will be available in May 2013.
