Why is it important?

Unlike unrestricted portfolios, Islamic portfolios have a narrow opportunity set for investment. They also face trading restrictions due to the prohibition of futures, short selling, options and day trading which can potentially create significant limits to arbitrage. This research explores comparative performance, efficiency and co-movement of Islamic and unrestricted portfolios.

Perspectives

This paper helps in looking at Islamic and unrestricted portfolios comparatively with regards to risk and return performance during the crisis and non-crisis period and also in developed and emerging markets.
