Walton evening talk to focus on shari'ah-compliant land investments

Pergas, the Singapore Islamic Scholars and Religious Teachers Association, will speak during an evening talk about its shari'ah-compliant endorsement of the Walton Group's business model and investment offerings.

The Walton Group (Walton) is a privately-owned real estate investment and development multinational group which concentrates on pre-development land investments in North America. As of May 2016, the shari'ah endorsement applies to the 12 regions where Walton-administered lands are located: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and Oklahoma.

The talk, titled Working towards Your Investment and Your Community, will be in two parts. Shahirah Mohamed Salleh, Head, Syariah Advisory and Services of Pergas Investment (MSc in Islamic Banking and Finance) will cover:

The basis for a shari'ah-compliant endorsement
Benefits and importance of investing in shari'ah-endorsed products

The potential role of Walton's pre-development land investments in achieving financial goals will also be discussed by Tee Wai Wai, Director of Sales, Walton International Group.
