This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature in portfolio management and strategy by investigating the performance, diversification, and hedging benefits arising from integrating Sharia-compliant stocks into a conventional portfolio.

Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature in portfolio management and strategy by investigating the performance, diversification, and hedging benefits arising from integrating Sharia-compliant stocks into a conventional portfolio. Thus, this paper tests the performance of a Combined Portfolio, resulting from the combination of conventional Islamic instruments, covering different macroeconomic scenarios in the last decade (2010–2020). The strategic asset allocation was designed following the Global Macro Anima (GMA) strategy, solving a risk-parity optimisation problem using a specifically developed MATLAB™ algorithm. The findings will contribute to answering the question related to the possibility of including alternative instruments to increase diversification with hedging benefits by building asset allocations that perform well across different macroeconomic scenarios.
