Principal Islamic Lifetime Balanced Growth Fund is a Shariah-compliant balanced fund issued by Principal Malaysia. The Fund aims to grow the value of the Unit holders’ investments over the long-term in a diversified mix of Malaysian assets in approved Shariah instruments* while providing consistent income.

* This refers to Shariah instruments that are certified as Shariah-compliant by the relevant authority.

This is neither a capital protected nor capital guaranteed fund.

This Fund is suitable for investors who:
  • have a long-term investment horizon;
  • want a portfolio of investments that adhere to Shariah principles;
  • seek capital appreciation with income being secondary;
  • want a diversified portfolio with preference to higher Shariah-compliant equity exposure; and/or
  • accept that investment returns may be negative over the short-term, but recognise that a diversified fund tends to produce a smoother return over time than a fund which invests in only one asset class such as equities.
