Driving inclusive growth, ethical investing, and national economic resilience through Islamic private credit innovation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Muamalat Invest Sdn. Bhd. (MISB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad (Bank Muamalat), has officially launched Muamalat-i Dana Sinar (MiDAS) – a pioneering Shariah-compliant private credit wholesale fund tailored Sophisticated Investor. 

A strategic milestone in the Islamic capital market, MiDAS mobilises private capital into productive, real-sector enterprises, particularly underserved Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) — aligning with Malaysia’s national agenda for inclusive, sustainable, and values-driven economic development. 

En. Md Khairuddin Hj Arshad, Independent Non-Executive Director of Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad and Chairman of MISB, said: “MiDAS strengthens Malaysia’s Islamic finance ecosystem by connecting private wealth with economic sectors that are vital yet underserved. It reflects our commitment to supporting financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth — core to the national vision for shared prosperity. This is a timely solution that empowers investors to pursue meaningful outcomes while building a resilient economy.”  

MiDAS is structured to provide investors with access to high-quality Islamic private credit instruments, sourced via Recognised Market Operators (RMOs) registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia. It introduces a new asset class that remains resilient against public market volatility, while upholding Shariah integrity, portfolio diversification, and capital preservation.  

Khadijah Sairah Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of Muamalat Invest, emphasized: “MiDAS is more than just an investment fund – it’s a channel for purposeful capital. It delivers stable, growth-oriented returns while meeting real financing needs across Malaysia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our vision is to offer value-based solutions that empower investors to succeed with purpose and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.”  

By unlocking capital for MSMEs, which represent over 97% of Malaysian businesses — MiDAS plays a pivotal role in narrowing financing gaps, catalysing entrepreneurship, and building economic resilience. More than a fund, MiDAS exemplifies how Islamic finance can drive real-world impact: promoting equitable access to capital, enabling inclusive growth, and delivering financial returns with integrity. As part of Muamalat’s broader commitment to nation-building through ethical finance, MiDAS marks a new frontier in aligning purpose with performance.
