Arabesque is a sustainable finance company established in 2013 after a management buyout from Barclays Bank. The company combines data, machine learning, and AI to deliver sustainable, transparent financial solutions for a changing world.

Arabesque

Established in 2013, the Arabesque Group brings together AI, ESG data and financial technology to deliver sustainable investment and intelligence.

Our investment strategy was developed at Barclays Bank between 2010 and 2013 in cooperation with professors from the universities of Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford and the Fraunhofer Society. Following a management buyout, Arabesque launched its first funds in 2014.

The mission of the Arabesque Group is to contribute to the mainstreaming of sustainable finance through our asset management services, as well as our platforms, ESG Book and Aether. 

Launched by a global alliance of leading financial institutions, investors, and businesses, ESG Book’s mission is to transform finance through sustainability. ESG Book combines cutting edge technology and proprietary research to fix a fundamental problem; capital markets need better ESG data to allocate finance efficiently to more sustainable outcomes. 

Arabesque AI is a dedicated technology business that is focused on constructing hyper-customised and impact-driven portfolios at scale. ​We have built an AI-integrated technology platform, Aether, which empowers a new generation of portfolio managers to meet the demands of a changing world.

We benefit from a board comprised of global leaders with extensive experience in the areas of corporate responsibility, responsible investment, environmental activism, human rights and gender inclusion. They include Georg Kell, founding Executive Director of the UN Global Compact; Barbara Krumsiek, former President and CEO of Calvert Investments; Dr Carolyn Woo, former President of Catholic Relief Services; and Yolanda Kakabadse, former President of WWF International.

At Arabesque, we are guided by the belief that sustainability factors are closely linked to business performance, and are driven to make sustainable finance available to all.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Singapore FinTech Festival and attended Arabesque AI CEO Carolina Minio Paluello, PhD's panel on “The double helix of tech and data: translating synergies into climate solutions.” 

The team will be at Booth 5D43 in the ESG Zone until Friday! We hope to see you there.

Today marks a significant milestone as Maybank Asset Management Group introduces an AI-powered, Shariah-compliant Discretionary Portfolio Mandate in partnership with Arabesque AI. This revolutionary offering is tailored for High-Net-Worth investors in Malaysia, offering a cutting-edge approach to Sharia-compliant investing.

This partnership empowers Maybank’s investors access to Arabesque AI's cutting-edge technology platform. The platform enables asset managers and investment professionals to craft hyper-customised Shariah-compliant portfolios, personalising them to each investor's unique preferences and objectives at a faster speed, as well as portfolio monitoring and rebalancing.

Omar Selim, Founder and CEO of Arabesque Group, emphasized the importance of sustainability and technology. He stated, "Arabesque's DNA is rooted in Islamic finance, and a decade ago, we set out with the vision to pioneer this space. Sustainable, responsible, and Islamic investment principles are all based on financial moderation and common sense. We firmly believe in the convergence of sustainability and technology as the driving force for a more sustainable future. 

It's no longer sufficient for investments to yield returns; we must scrutinise how they're generated. Arabesque leads the sustainable finance revolution, leveraging AI, ESG data, and digital technology. In a world where investors prioritise societal impact and values, the true power of AI lies in crafting highly personalised portfolios down to the individual stock level. This values-driven shift reshapes finance for a more sustainable future.”
