Eurekahedge announces the launch of the largest Shariah-compliant fund database:
the Eurekahedge Islamic Fund Database and Directory. The database launched with
312 funds compliant with Shariah law. The specialist funds are comprehensively
covered across all geographies and asset classes including: Unit Trusts/Mutual
Funds, Funds of Funds, Private Equity Funds, Alternatives and Structured Products.

Alexander Mearns, Managing Director of Eurekahedge says, "We have received
substantial demand from our existing investor subscribers for more information on
Shariah-compliant funds. We did not find one source out there which adequately
covered the universe, both globally and by asset class, so we employed our research
resources and built one for them." Mearns goes on to say, "However, this product is
not purely aimed at investors and we feel that all parties - structuring groups,
private banks, service providers to the industry, other alternative funds - will benefit
from this resource."

Information on individual funds in the database and directory includes detailed
profiles of fund managers, investment strategy, geographical focus, Shariah
advisors, fee and redemption structure, service providers, contact details and much
more.
