Abstract

Islamic indexes’ hedging and safe haven properties during the COVID-19 outbreak are still being debated. Generally, Islamic assets (Hkiri et al., 2017; Shahzad et al., 2019) have shown their safe-haven and hedge properties during turbulent stock market periods.The aim of this paper is to investigate the hedging and safe-haven properties of Islamic indexes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using Ratner and Chiu (2013) methodology.

Keywords: Islamic index, Hedging, Safe haven, COVID-19 pandemic
