Abstract

A stable dividend policy is often in the best interests of both the company and its shareholders. Considering the importance of dividend policy, we examine the determinants of dividend payment in Malaysian Sharia-compliant listed firms and the moderating role of board directors. To this end, we apply a static-panel model using data of Malaysian Shariah-compliant listed firms from 2014 to 2020. We find that ROA (Return on Asset) and Price-Earnings ratio (PER) have a significant positive impact on the dividend payout ratio (DPR). On the other hand, NAV (Net Asset Value) shows a negative and significant relationship with the DPR. Our findings also reveal that the board of directors significantly and positively influence the decision to pay dividends. The findings of the study hold significant importance for corporations in determining a suitable dividend policy that can ensure the sustainability of a consistent dividend payout and ensure their organization's financial stability, particularly in Malaysian-listed Shariah-compliant firms.

Abstract

This paper investigates potential diversification opportunities for Nigeria’s Islamic stock investors with Nigeria’s top trading partners (France, Spain, United Kingdom and India). It employs daily data of Islamic stock indices, namely Nigeria’s LOTUS Islamic index and FTSE shariah indices of the four countries, from 14 July 2015 to 14 December 2022. Using multivariate GARCH-DCC, we show that Islamic investors from Nigeria have almost no portfolio diversification opportunities in the Islamic stock markets of these countries except for a slight portfolio diversification opportunity found in the UK Islamic stock market for a very short period (one year) and almost none for India, Spain, France. The results from the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) however suggest that diversification opportunities are present in UK, France, Spain and not in India. These findings have important policy implications for policy makers and investors seeking to invest in these countries to be mindful of the appropriate investment timing to minimize potential future losses in investments.
