“Islamic asset management is gaining interest among investors as an avenue for alternative investment. Lack of depth of capital markets in the GCC region and high fragmentation of the industry are acting as restraints to the growth,” says Frost and Sullivan Research Analyst Kavitha Chakravarthy. “Gaining investor confidence and marketing the foreign-domiciled funds by asset management companies and increasing operational efficiency will be a major challenge.
