Arta today announced the global launch of its first Shariah-compliant investment portfolios*: fully customizable, theme-driven satellite strategies that deliver faith-aligned investing with the depth, transparency, and control of modern portfolio technology.
Available now via Arta’s platform, the new offering allows accredited investors and institutional partners to access rigorously certified portfolios aligned with Islamic finance principles – while adjusting allocations, expressing personal conviction, and leveraging institutional-grade performance analytics.
“At Arta, we’re committed to expanding access to sophisticated wealth solutions that reflect the values and priorities of our global member base. With the launch of our Shariah-compliant portfolios, faith-aligned investors can now engage with thematic strategies that offer customization, transparency, and institutional-grade tools – while meeting rigorous standards of Shariah compliance. Delivered with lower fees, liquid structures, and accessible minimum investments, this offering marks an important step toward a more inclusive and globally accessible investment landscape,” said Caesar Sengupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Arta Finance.
What Are Satellite Strategies?
Each Shariah-compliant portfolio is structured as a satellite strategy – a curated basket of individual stocks built around a specific investment theme. Think of them as modern, customizable mini-ETFs: fully screened for shariah compliance, and designed to complement a core portfolio by targeting areas of growth or personal interest.
Unlike traditional products, Arta’s satellite strategies can be tailored by investors. Allocations can be adjusted to reflect market perspectives or to exclude stocks that don’t meet individual values, all while maintaining Shariah compliance. The initial suite includes:
- FATMAA – Exposure to six U.S. mega-cap leaders in AI, mobility, and cloud infrastructure
- Architects of AI – Companies driving AI infrastructure and enterprise solutions
- Dividend Leaders – U.S. stocks offering stable, Shariah-compliant dividend income
- Cybersecurity & Digital Protection – Firms securing the global digital economy
Each portfolio comprises stocks certified by the Financial Shariah Advisory & Consultancy (FSAC), a Singapore based authority in Islamic finance and a unit of Pergas Investment Holdings. The certification adheres to globally recognised Shariah screening standards
Deeper Insights, Greater Control
Beyond compliance and customization, Arta gives investors unmatched visibility into each strategy with detailed scorecards. Members can explore historical performance across multiple timeframes and benchmarks, assess drawdowns, volatility, and review sector compositions – all intuitively presented in the Arta app. Investing – or adjusting – is seamless and takes only minutes.
Assets are held in investor-owned accounts at BNY Pershing, with liquidity typically within 3–5 business days. Minimum investments are accessibly low, and fees are transparent – setting a new bar for access in the Shariah-compliant investment space.
Now Available to Global Partners and Institutions
In addition to direct access for accredited investors, Arta’s Shariah-compliant portfolios are available to financial institutions and advisors worldwide. Through white-labeled versions of the Arta platform or simple embedded integrations, partners can offer these strategies to their end-clients – backed by compliance, configurability, and insights.
Islamic finance is projected to grow from USD 3.38 trillion in 2024 to over USD 7.4 trillion by 2033. Meanwhile Global Growth Insights Islamic Finance Market Report highlights a 33% increase in awareness of Shariah-compliant investment tools in the U.S.. Yet high-quality, flexible investment solutions remain limited. Arta’s Shariah-compliant portfolios are designed to fill that gap – blending tradition with technology and empowering a new generation of global investors.
