As of September, there are 1,149 Islamic funds, the research firm said, predicting that the outlook for the last quarter of 2014 of the Islamic fund sector is broadly positive, with Islamic banking and capital market trends expected to reinforce the advancement of the shari’ah compliant funds sector.
