In 2010, BMG achieved the notable distinction of becoming the first Shariah-compliant precious metals fund in Canada. This achievement was realized without any modifications to its existing structure, as the company was founded on principles that aligned with Shariah from its inception. This compliance has opened new opportunities for expansion into the Middle East and North African markets. Mr. Silim currently sits on BMG’s Advisory Committee providing valuable counsel on BMG’s Middle East and North African (MENA) practices and contributes to its business development efforts in these regions.
