In the study of stock investment in the capital market by investors in Pandemic Covid-19, it is always carried out rationally. In fact it is not always rational in making stock investment decisions.

The research method used is path analysis with accounting information, subjective norms, sharia principles, and risk as independent variables and stock investment decision making as the dependent variable with the perception of individual behavior control as an intervening variable. The research findings show that only the sharia principle affects stock investment decision making through perception of individual behavior control.

Islamic religiosity and portfolio allocation: the Malaysian context

International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management, 2017

Purpose This study aims to investigate the association between Muslim individuals’ portfolio allocation choice and Islamic religiosity (levels and dimensions), controlling for risk tolerance and sociodemographic factors. Design/methodology/approach The study uses primary data collected via survey questionnaires from a sample of 751 Muslim working individuals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Owing to the ordinal nature of the dependent variable, which reflects the levels of proportions of risky assets in portfolios, the data were analyzed using an ordered probit regression model. Findings The findings reveal that Islamic religiosity levels in general were insignificantly related to portfolio allocation, but that two dimensions of religiosity (virtue and obligation) significantly impact the allocations of risky assets in the portfolio. The higher the level of virtue, the lower the propensity to allocate risky assets into the portfolio. On the contrary, the higher the level of obligation, th...

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2019

This research aims to examine the effect of religiosity on purchase intention to long-term investment in sharia insurance which is moderated by prevention focus, future orientation, and financial knowledge. This research applies a non-hierarchical analysis method or cell mean method using between subject 2×2 and the procedure of Univariate General Linear (GLM) Model. The first research finding found that religiosity has significantly affected purchase intention to long-term investment in sharia insurance; thus, H1 has supported the hypothesis. The second finding showed that high religiosity which is moderated by low prevention focus increases purchase intention to long-term investment in sharia insurance; thus, H2a has supported the hypothesis. However, religiosity which is moderated by high prevention focus does not support the hypothesis, thus, H2b and H2c are not proven. The third finding found that religiosity which is moderated by future orientation has shown very significant result, thus, the H3a, H3b, and H3c hypotheses have been proven to support the hypothesis. The fourth findings showed that high religiosity which is moderated by low financial knowledge has been proven to affect purchase intention to long-term investment in sharia insurance; so, H4a has supported the hypothesis. However, religiosity which is moderated by high financial knowledge has not supported the hypothesis; thus, H4b and H4c is not proven.

Risk perception of socially responsible investors in Muslim countries

From the evidence that socially responsible investment is an emerging concept in Muslim countries, we have developed a socio-demographic behavior based model. We have shown the direct effect of social factors (religion and family influence) and indirect effect of demographic factors (age, education and income) on investment choices through risk perception. Investors may be experienced in investment market but particularly in SRI investments of Muslim countries they will be new entrants. We have developed hypotheses from literature in our study regarding this concept of new entrants. In Pakistan, SRI investment is not prevailing but opportunities do exist. Pakistani firms can take the initiative by attracting SRI investments if firms develop more sophisticated CSR.

Religiosity, Neglected Risk and Asset Returns: Theory and Evidence from Islamic Finance Industry

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019

This paper studies the sociological influence of religion on the risk and return in the financial markets with particular context of Islamic finance, a rapidly emerging and expanding financial industry. The paper builds a theoretical model to show how intermediaries serve their customers' religious needs by creating innovative Islamic financial instruments. The customer's emphasis on religiosity exposes the industry to a theological risk, which can increase the financial fragility of the system. In our model, the theological risk emerges as a neglected component, which can be realized in the event of a bad news challenging the religious legitimacy of (Islamic) finance structures. To corroborate our theoretical findings, we present two sets of results. First, using stock prices data for 104 Islamic bond (Sukuk) issuers, we show that Sukuk issuers experienced a significant decline in their stock prices, following multiple formal and informal announcements in 2008, which challenged the religious legitimacy of Islamic bond structures. Second, using data from 1360 newly issued Malaysian Sukuk from 2006 to 2016, we find that following the regulatory changes the Sukuk margins have increased significantly. This suggests that there may be a significant difference between what Islamic and conventional customers may be willing to pay for Sukuk, exposing the industry to a unique form of religious risk.
