Amana Participation Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on capital preservation and current income within an Islamic finance framework. It primarily invests in short- and intermediate‑term income‑producing securities that comply with Sharia principles, emphasizing sukuk and other Islamic participation certificates rather than conventional interest‑bearing bonds. The strategy targets a lower‑volatility profile than equities while maintaining prudent interest‑rate exposure, reflected by a modest effective duration profile. The portfolio is diversified across sectors influenced by sukuk issuance, including financials, government, real estate, utilities, communications, and energy, and is managed by a dedicated team experienced in halal fixed‑income markets. As part of the Amana family, the fund offers institutional investors a distinct avenue to access global Islamic fixed‑income markets, aligning with faith‑based guidelines without sacrificing modern portfolio construction standards. It plays a niche yet important role in the market by providing U.S. investors with a non‑equity, halal income solution that aims to balance income generation with capital stability.
