Investment Process for Non-Resident Pakistanis and International Investors

Al Ameen Funds provides overseas investors the opportunity to directly invest in Shariah Compliant Mutual Funds, Administrative Investment Plans & Voluntary Pension Schemes (only for Pakistani nationals). Investments can be made in the major global currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, AED & SAR) and the units of the Fund(s)/Plan(s) will be issued against Pak Rupee (PKR) of equivalent amount after applying prevalent exchange rate by the designated Authorized Dealer Bank in Pakistan (to be called “Bank”). Upon redemption, the amount will be repatriated in same currency in which the investment was made. The net redemption amount will be converted back from PKR to same currency by the Bank, and wired back to the investor’s bank account. There is no limit on investment amount and the entire amount is subject to full repatriation as per State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) foreign exchange regulations (SBP F.E. Manual Eighth edition 2002).
