Capturing Long-Term Growth in Global Technology – Anchored by Shariah Principles and Asian Tech Expertise
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eastspring Investments Berhad (“Eastspring”) today announced the launch of the Eastspring Investments Islamic Global Technology Fund (“Fund”), a Shariah‑compliant equity fund designed to provide investors with access to long‑term growth opportunities arising from global technology and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation.
The Fund seeks to invest in high‑quality, Shariah‑compliant technology companies that are shaping the future of the global economy – spanning sectors such as semiconductors, AI hardware and software, cloud infrastructure, digital platforms, healthcare innovation and advanced manufacturing. These technology leaders are increasingly embedded across industries, driving productivity, efficiency and earnings growth.
Why Global Technology, Why Now
Technology has become an essential driver of global economic growth, powering everything from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing and consumer ecosystems. While timing technology cycles perfectly can be challenging, history has consistently shown that long-term under-exposure to technology can come at a significant opportunity cost.
Unlike earlier technology cycles, today’s AI and technology wave is supported by real earnings, strong free cash flows and sustained capital expenditure from large, profitable global companies. This anchors technology firmly as a structural growth opportunity, rather than a short‑term trend.
The Fund is designed to help investors participate in this transformation through a disciplined, professionally managed and Shariah‑compliant approach.
Anchored by Taiwan – At the Heart of Global Tech and AI
A key differentiator of the Fund is its investment advisory collaboration with Eastspring Investments Taiwan, which has managed global and US technology strategies since 1994, successfully navigating multiple technology cycles with a long-standing and consistent track record. This enables Malaysian investors to access a seasoned technology investment capability, even as the Fund is newly launched in Malaysia.
Based in Taiwan – the epicentre of the global semiconductor and AI hardware supply chain – the investment team brings first-hand, on-the-ground insights into the industries that power artificial intelligence. Much of the world’s most advanced chips are designed and manufactured in this region, making proximity a critical advantage in identifying emerging trends and inflection points within the global tech ecosystem.
