Investment in Equities

 Equities mean true ownership in businesses. Equities reflect the growth saga of a country. By participating wisely and decisively in equities one gets to be a part of the economic growth of a country. Wealth of Muslims are scanty in the equities market. Those who participate in the equities market arent guided properly both on the Shariah as well as the financial front. There are many practices in the stock market that are against Shariah rulings and which Muslims should avoid. (e.g.: - margin trading, derivatives etc.)

 Zirva focuses on guiding the Shariah minded investor to invest in equities in a Shariah oriented and financially sound manner. We have a unique and rigorous process of filtering and recommending stocks.

The Zirva Act of Stock Picking

Zirva relies on the Shariah compliant list of stocks provided by TASIS (www.tasis.in). TASIS follows the most rigorous of all the Shariah screening methodologies used across the world today. Stocks are screened at two macro levels at the business level and at the financial level. At the business level companies which are into Shariah non compliant businesses are screened out (eg: - alcohol, gambling, conventional banking/insurance/financial companies, pork, pornography etc.)

 At the financial level the companies are screened on parameters of debt, liquid assets and the percentage interest income accruing to it.
Total Debt / Total Assets < 25 % Interest Bearing Securities / Total Assets < 33% Interest Income / Total Income < 3% Receivables +Cash / Total Assets < 90 %

The resulting universe of stocks (more than 2000 scrips) is the most Shariah tolerant one in the world. India has the largest number of Shariah compliant stocks in the world.

 From the universe of stocks provided by TASIS; Zirva applies all the classic stock picking techniques like fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Though, we follow a predominantly fundamental analysis driven strategy to pick stocks. Technical analysis is used on fundamentally analyzed stocks to find opportune entry and exit points. Unlike the other brokers in the market Zirva doesnt persuade the investor to frequently sell/buy scrips but recommends only genuine buying and selling opportunities. We focus on systematic wealth creation for our clients. Equity investments when understood and managed properly offers the highest returns among all asset classes.

Investment in Commodities

 Zirva facilitates spot transactions in commodities like gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel etc. The list also includes agricultural commodities like cotton, cereals, fibres, spices, pulses etc. E-gold and e-silver denote possession of gold and silver in the demat form. This saves the investor from VAT, wealth tax, loss of value on physical and other risks and costs associated with physical possession of precious items.

Investment in Portfolios

 Portfolio management service refers to the creation and management of a customized group of securities to suit the specific risk return requirements of a person. The portfolio is created and managed by a qualified and licensed portfolio manager who tries to achieve the investment objectives of the client using his specialized knowledge and professional credentials. Moreover, PMS is subject to strict regulation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and other regulators which ensures a high level of safety and protection for the investor. The minimum ticket size for investments is Rs. 5,00,000 (Rupees Five Lakhs).

 Fund will not use any derivative instruments like futures, options and swaps. The fund will not indulge in short selling. The fund will invest its liquid resources in a Shariah compliant manner in non interest bearing securities

Dividend Purification Ratio

The fund will periodically inform policy holders on the amount they need to donate to charity to purge the impact of interest on their fund investment.

Investment in Mutual Funds

 Mutual funds are portfolios in which the customization factor is taken out. Here a fund with a particular objective is floated. The objectives of the fund and other pertinent information are clearly spelt out in the Scheme Information Document (SID). Mutual funds are also highly regulated like PMS. The minimum ticket size is Rs. 5000 (Rupees Five Thousand) for the first time and the rest in multiples of Re. 1).

Investment in Insurance Products

 Insurance has been the most problematic area with Shariah minded investors as the conventional insurance products had all the prohibited elements of Riba (usury), Gharar (prohibitive uncertainty) and Maysir (gambling). Shariah compliant insurance products attach an insurance plan to a Shariah compliant stock portfolio. Such insurance products are available with ZBS now. The Shariah compliant insurance plan is also certified by TASIS.

Investment in Greenfield Projects

 Zirva promotes greenfield projects (projects in which we are a consultant and which are executed under our supervision). Projects submitted by capable entrepreneurs are studied in depth and required investments are called for. Zirva does all due diligence and remains as a consultant on board. Thus we try to promote entrepreneurship, create profitable investment opportunities and uplift the managerial quality and Shariah compliance of projects and institutions. Rockview Powersand a proposed Manufactured Sand unit is one such project.

Investment in Realty

 Real estate is a booming sector in India; especially in the state of Kerala. We come up with highly innovative products and services in this segment. Mahalla based Islamic Land Banking is one such initiative. Zirva has made a paradigm shift in the real estate market by combining and optmizing the seemingly conflicting interests of the real estate investors and people who genuinely require land as an item of basic necessity. The Zakath committees were also poised to the share of the booming real estate market in the state.

Investment in Hybrid Products

 The realty-stock combo is another innovative investment opportunity pioneered by Zirva. High Networth Individuals (HNIs) can take advantage of this super return potential investment opportunity. Realty is used as a hedge whereby half of the money goes into realty. The other half is invested in stocks having high long term growth prospects. The minimum ticket size is Rs. 10,00,000 (Rupees Ten Lakhs).
