Your Super. Your Values. Built for the Long Term.

But what about the Islamic investment strategy?

This is perhaps the most important part of the relationship.

Salaam is responsible for the Shariah investment philosophy and framework that determines how Salaam superannuation members’ money is invested.

Our partnership with Russell Investments does not mean compromising the Islamic principles upon which Salaam Super was established.

Salaam determines the Shariah investment framework, including the principles, screens and exclusions that apply to Salaam investments, supported by specialist Shariah advisers.

Salaam’s investment framework adopts the globally recognised Shariah standards developed by the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), while our investments are independently reviewed and audited by our external Shariah adviser, Dar Al Sharia.

This means members can benefit from the scale and capabilities associated with the Russell Investments Master Trust while Salaam continues to ensure that the investment approach remains consistent with the Islamic principles our members expect.

It is an important distinction.

Russell Investments provides institutional scale and capability. Salaam provides the specialist Islamic investment expertise and Shariah framework.

Designed with the future in mind

We understand that members may occasionally see changes occurring across the broader superannuation industry and naturally ask questions about their own fund.

Our members should know that Salaam has deliberately built its superannuation offering around partnership rather than trying to operate every component of a superannuation fund independently.

We believe this provides a stronger and more sustainable model.

Salaam can concentrate on what we do best – understanding and serving our community, developing Shariah-compliant investment solutions and ensuring Islamic principles remain at the centre of the investment process.

At the same time, our members benefit from the institutional infrastructure and global capabilities associated with Russell Investments.

It means Salaam does not have to choose between being a specialist Islamic investment provider and having access to the capabilities of a major global financial institution.

Our members benefit from both.
