Hong Leong Tokio Marine Takaful (HLTM Takaful) Bhd had on Tuesday launched its capital protection investment-linked scheme.

The Alpha Crescent Investment Plan was a three-year shariah-compliant 100% capital-protected investment-linked plan.

It is based on the concept of murabahah and wa’ad where the potential investment returns at maturity were referenced against the performance of the Alpha Crescent Index.

HLTM Takaful, which is managing the plan, said it would be distributed by Hong Leong Bank Bhd.

On the Alpha Crescent Index, it was derived from a “buy low, sell high” strategy from the performances of top 100 pre-selected shariah complaint stocks.
