The sharia investment industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly along with public awareness of sharia-compliant investments. This study aims to understand the factors that influence stock portfolio decisions and the behavior of novice Muslim investors. For this purpose, data will be collected on financial literacy, tenure, gender, and risk perceptions intervened by religion using a questionnaire. Meanwhile, to collect data on portfolio decisions, a semi-experimental approach will be used which will produce sharia Sharpe ratio values.
