Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund Named Winner of Two...

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

Independent recognition of a decade of consistent, risk-adjusted performance

The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund was recognised with the 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for Best Fund over 10 Years in the Bond Sukuk Global USD classification, winning across two award universes: Global Islamic and MENA Markets.

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards have, for more than three decades, recognised funds that have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. Winners are determined using LSEG Lipper's independent, proprietary quantitative methodology, based on the Lipper Leader rating for Consistent Return over three-, five-, and ten-year periods.

The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund is a UCITS sub-fund of an open-ended, Luxembourg-incorporated umbrella investment company. One of the longest-running global sukuk funds of its kind, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant assets, comprising primarily investment-grade sovereign, government-related and corporate sukuk, without reference to any specific benchmark. The Fund is dynamically managed and targets both income and capital appreciation, with a monthly distribution of dividends, and has navigated multiple market cycles within a risk-managed framework.

The awards come at a period of heightened volatility for global fixed income. Fitch Ratings has noted that the sukuk market's recovery in 2026 hinges on sustained regional stability, with issuance expected to remain below 2025 levels amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.¹ Against this backdrop, an independent award recognising consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade underscores the value of an actively managed, disciplined approach through changing market cycles.

"We're proud to see the Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund recognised among the best over ten years. In a market that continues to test investors, an independent award for consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade speaks to the strength of our active management and the trust our investors place in us. It reflects the disciplined, long-term approach that defines how we manage capital at Rasmala," said Eric Swats, Senior Executive Officer, Rasmala Investment Bank Limited.
