      Shariah-compliant investment offering: socially responsible and sustainable investing.  
       

      Lombard Odier & Islamic finance – why and how
       

      We regard Islamic finance as a powerful driver of socially responsible and sustainable investment, fully aligned with the values that underpin our investment philosophy and our business.

      Social responsibility remains central to the way we serve our clients at Lombard Odier. Since 2012, we have provided Shariah-compliant investment solutions, in line with the principles of Islamic finance, that reflect both our 225-year commitment to responsible finance and deep expertise in sustainable investment. 

      For 65 years, we have supported clients across the Middle East. Today, we continue to build on that legacy as a leading provider of bespoke Shariah-compliant solutions, serving private and institutional clients with custom, professionally managed portfolios that integrate Islamic wealth management principles. Through a disciplined investment process, we combine Shariah principles with our robust House View to help clients preserve and grow their wealth with resilience and purpose.

      Global Shariah-compliant discretionary mandates

      We offer a range of single- and multi-asset investment profiles designed to match investors’ preferences and risk tolerance. Our Shariah-compliant investment universe includes sukuk, equities (including components of the Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index), and eligible instruments such as real estate, precious metals and structured products for qualified investors. Portfolios can be implemented with flexibility, via single lines or best-in-class funds. Our specialists build tailored Shariah-compliant portfolios from this comprehensive range of solutions. Sustainability and social responsibility sit at the heart of our portfolio management.
       

      LO Assayil multi-asset balanced fund

      Building on our long-standing experience in managing sukuk and Shariah-compliant equity portfolios, we have introduced a new US dollar-based, multi-asset balanced strategy combining the Shariah principles with our global House View. The fund provides diversified exposure across Shariah-compliant asset classes, including sukuk, global equities screened for compliance, and selected real assets. Designed to blend ethical integrity with active portfolio construction, the strategy applies disciplined risk management to help investors achieve resilient, long-term growth within a Shariah-compliant framework. 

      Shariah certification

      Our Shariah-compliant discretionary mandates and multi-asset balanced strategy fund are certified as Shariah-compliant by the Shariah Supervisory Board of Amanie Advisors, a globally recognised advisory firm.

      Bespoke, Shariah-compliant wealth planning solutions

      Our Shariah-compliant trust is a bespoke solution that allows individuals to safeguard assets for loved ones through an Anglo-Saxon vehicle while observing Shariah principles. Administered from both Geneva and Bermuda, the trust enables the integration of Shariah principles at every step – from design and endowment through to administration and distribution. Clients retain full flexibility to determine the degree of compliance that best reflects their values and family objectives.
