The Lion-BIBDS Islamic Income & Growth Fund is a globally diversified, Shariah-compliant multi-asset fund built for regular income and long-term capital appreciation, and is the second collaboration between LGI and BIBDS, further broadening the range of Islamic investment solutions available to investors in Singapore, Brunei and beyond.
SINGAPORE, 8 JULY 2026 – Lion Global Investors (“LGI”) and BIBD Securities Sdn Bhd (“BIBDS”), Brunei’s leading Shariah-compliant securities firm, have launched the Lion-BIBDS Islamic Income & Growth Fund (“the Fund”), a Shariah-compliant multi-asset solution designed to provide investors with regular income and long-term capital appreciation through globally diversified and ethically aligned investments.
The Fund adopts an actively managed multi-asset strategy designed to provide investors with regular income while offering the potential for long-term capital appreciation across varying market conditions. It pursues a strategic allocation of approximately 70% to Shariah-compliant global equities* to capture growth opportunities, and 30% to Shariah-compliant fixed income* instruments to support income generation and capital preservation. The portfolio may also hold cash, cash equivalents and Islamic liquidity funds to manage liquidity and navigate changing market environments.
To achieve broad diversification, the Fund may invest in a range of Shariah-compliant collective investment schemes and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including global Islamic equity and fixed income strategies deemed permissible by its Shariah Advisory Body. The Fund may also allocate a small portion of its assets to Shariah-compliant gold ETFs as an additional diversification tool. Investors can choose between accumulation or quarterly income distribution options, catering to a range of financial goals. All income distributions will be subject to a Shariah-guided dividend purification process1 to ensure continued alignment with Islamic investment principles.
Combining Investment Depth with Shariah Insight
As investors seek balanced exposure to income and growth amid geopolitical uncertainty and shifting market cycles, multi-asset strategies are gaining traction across the region. The Lion-BIBDS Islamic Income & Growth Fund responds to this demand with a diversified, values-aligned solution, drawing on both firms' Shariah-compliant investment expertise alongside LGI's multi-asset capabilities and BIBDS' strong presence in Islamic markets.
The Fund is the second collaboration between LGI and BIBDS, following the inception of the Lion-BIBDS Islamic Enhanced Liquidity Fund in March 2024. It reinforces the two firms' ongoing commitment to broadening access to quality Shariah-compliant investment solutions for investors in Singapore, Brunei and the wider region.
Teo Joo Wah, CEO, Lion Global Investors said, “The launch of the Lion-BIBDS Islamic Income & Growth Fund reflects our continued commitment to broadening access to high-quality, values-aligned investment solutions. Building on the strong foundation of our first collaboration with BIBDS in 2024, this next step allows us to bring together income and growth in a single, globally diversified Shariah-compliant portfolio. We are pleased to deepen our partnership with BIBDS and to support investors in Singapore, Brunei and the wider region in achieving their long-term financial goals in a manner consistent with their values."
Jason Wong, Managing Director of BIBD Securities said, “This second collaboration with Lion Global Investors reflects our shared commitment to expanding access to quality Shariah-compliant investments. The Lion-BIBDS Islamic Income & Growth Fund gives our clients globally diversified exposure with the potential for sustainable income and long-term capital growth, while staying true to the Shariah principles that guide us.”
