WHY CHOOSE H.O.T BROKING?
H.O.T Broking is based on investing in shares and securities based on Islamic principles. As a measure of confidence, it is guided by the same Institutional and regulatory framework that administers conventional stock broking, except that it is governed by Shariah principles.

WHY DO I NEED TO OPEN A CONVENTIONAL ACCOUNT SINCE I ONLY WISH TO INVEST IN SHARIAH-COMPLIANT STOCKS?

Yes, you can because the Islamic trading account is linked to a designated nominees account (only Shariah-compliant shares).

WHAT IS MAYBANK INVEST-I?

IF A SHARIAH-COMPLIANT SECURITY IS DECLARED NON SHARIAH-COMPLIANT, WHAT HAPPENS?
In such an instance, the non Shariah-compliant security must be liquidated. Capital gains arising from the disposal of the non Shariah-compliant security made at the time of the announcement can be kept. However, any capital gains made from the disposal of the security after the announcement date should be channeled to charitable bodies.
WHAT IF THE MARKET PRICE OF THE SHARIAHCOMPLIANT SECURITY, WHOSE STATUS IS MADE NON SHARIAH-COMPLIANT FALLS BELOW THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT COST?
