In 2025 the total sharia financial assets in Indonesia are projected to increase by IDR. 430,00 trillion. This is driven by public awareness of halal products and services and regulatory support from the One of the growing sharia investments is sharia mutual funds. Sharia mutual funds are containers that can be used to raise funds from the investor community, then invested in securities portfolios by investment managers in accordance with the provisions or regulations and laws that have been determined in accordance with sharia principles (Qomariah et al. The legal basis for sharia mutual funds is based on DSN-MUI No. 20 of 2001 in the form of Investment Implementation Guidelines for sharia Mutual Funds which states that sharia mutual funds use a wakalah contract between investors and investment managers, which is a representative contract accompanied by a reward or service fee . given to the representative for the work and mudharabah between investment managers and investment users is a business cooperation contract in sharia economics between two parties (Fatra.

Thus, fluctuations in NAV . et asset valu. and the number of sharia mutual funds are influenced by economic developments is inflation, interest rates, currency conditions and economic conditions, government regulations and monetary policy. However, the overall number of mutual fund investors reached 14. 03 million by the end of December 2024, year to year the number of mutual fund investors increased by 23% to be precise 22. 92% from 2023. Fluctuations in sharia mutual fund investors are influenced by the attitudes and behavior of the investors themselves which are based on sharia investment knowledge and investment experience because this encourages investors to be more selective in determining investment objectives, analyzing securities, forming portfolios, revising portfolios and evaluating portfolio performance, which has an impact on the consideration of the value of their sharia mutual funds which aim to get the expected benefits (Arafah & Miko, 2. Sharia investment knowledge is related to the theory planned of behavior is that someone has high investment knowledge, the more confident they are with their investment choices (Darmawan et al. , 2. Adequate sharia investment knowledge allows investors to consider their investments carefully so that they can protect themselves from potential security threats in the digital environment, including the risk of fraud (Arafah & Miko, 2. sharia investment knowledge is information that contains how to use the source of funds in a person's sharia investment which aims to obtain future profits on his sharia investment (Markonah & Kusnadi, 2. This information is in the form of understanding the types of Sharia investment instruments that will be used, returns and investment risks that may occur in making decisions to invest (Wibowo, 2. Investment experience is also one of the personal factors that play a role in investment decision making, including in choosing a particular option after evaluating several options.

Investment experience is the knowledge and skills gained from previous investment activities, which can influence future investment decisions, this includes various investment activities that have been carried out both in companies and in other sharia financial institutions (Mandagie et al. Meanwhile, research conducted by (Firdaus & Ifrochah, 2. shows that investment knowledge and investment motivation have a positive and significant influence on students in the capital market. In addition, research conducted by (Sani & Paramita, 2. states that investment experience, risk tolerance, and social media have a positive influence on investment decisions. Thus, this study aims to examine in depth these factors in sharia investment, so that this research provides new insights for academics and practitioners to evaluate strategies to attract the interest of medan city investors in investing in sharia mutual In addition to the factors of sharia investment knowledge and investment experience, lifestyle aspects are also one of the factors that play a role in making sharia investment research conducted by (Sabrina & Panorama, 2. states that lifestyle has a positive and significant influence on investment decisions in the capital market in generation Z in Palembang city.

Meanwhile, a person's lifestyle also determines a person's consumption leve (Syah & Barsah. A high level of consumption can make a person consumptive and will certainly affect expenses that are not balanced with sufficient income (Anggraini & Santhoso, 2. This research emphasizes that lifestyle underlies sharia investment knowledge and investment experience in making decisions to invest in sharia. Based on the phenomenon that has been explained, this research aims to determine the effect of Sharia investment knowledge and Investment experience in choosing sharia mutual fund investment through the lifestyle of investors in Medan city.

The instruments traded must not contain elements that are prohibited in sharia principles such as alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, pornography and other things. The operational mechanism of sharia mutual funds between investors and investment managers is with Wakalah, which is a delegation agreement where the party providing funds gives power to another party, while between investment managers and investment users with the Mudharabah system, which is an agreement where the party providing funds promises to the manager to submit his capital and the manager promises to manage the capital (P. Wulandari & Nasik, 2. Another difference is the whole process of portfolio management, screening, and cleansing, while conventional mutual funds are not concerned with matters of concern among sharia mutual fund market participants (Fatra, 2. Sharia Investment Knowledge and Sharia Investment Decisions Sharia investment knowledge is related to the theory planned of behavior is that someone has high investment knowledge, the more confident they are with their investment choices (Darmawan et al. , 2. Sharia investment knowledge is information that contains how to use the source of funds in a person's sharia investment which aims to obtain future profits on his sharia investment (Lisdayanti & Hakim, 2. This information is in the form of understanding the types of sharia investment instruments to be used, returns and investment risks that may occur in making decisions to invest. states that to invest in sharia mutual funds requires sufficient knowledge, experience and business sense to analyze which securities to buy (Triana & Yudiantoro, 2. Sufficient sharia investment knowledge allows investors to consider their investments carefully so that they can protect themselves from potential security threats in the digital environment and to avoid losses, including the risk of fraud (Wibowo, 2. Sharia investment knowledge is the foundation possessed by a person to encourage the growth of one's energy in doing something so that knowledge about investment helps a person in determining and considering decisions when investing (Magdalena & Wirawan, 2. H1: Sharia investment knowledge has a significant positive effect on choosing sharia mutual fund investment Investment Experience and Sharia Investment Decisions Investment experience is an experience that arises due to the frequency of investments that have been made by investors. The investment experience possessed by investors causes them to have wisdom in making investment decisions so that these decisions will be more mature (Firdaus & Ifrochah, 2. Experience also makes investors able to determine what factors will affect the investment they make (Mutawally & Haryono, 2. This does not necessarily mean that investors are not careful in making investment decisions. However, they tend to be more effective in making decisions because their experience is able to encourage them to understand the factors that affect their investment. Investment experience provides consideration in making decisions in terms of investment in order to make plans and to find out how useful investment management is for now and for the future. Good past investment experience provides an assessment in good investment management so that it provides good benefits in the present and future (Sani & Paramita, 2. Malia: Jurnal Ekonomi Islam.

Does Sharia Investment A According to (Chou et al. , 2. also emphasizes that investor behavior is influenced by experience gained in the past. An experienced investor has a tendency to prefer a portfolio that has risk, because they . have gone through the experience of how to handle it Whether or not the investor's experience is better will have an impact on the investor's risk tolerance level and investment decisions (Awais et al. , 2. Successful past investment experience promises high risk tolerance which further proves that it will generate high returns, therefore, past investment behavior is positively related to risk tolerance which ultimately affects investment decisions (Krische, 2. H2: Investment experience has a significant positive effect on choosing sharia mutual fund The Intervening Role of Lifestyle Lifestyle is a person's pattern of living in the world as expressed in their activities, interests and opinions. Lifestyle describes a person's overall self in interacting with their environment (Nagpal & Bodla, 2. Lifestyle shows how a person lives, how to spend his money, and how to allocate time. Lifestyle shows the classification of individuals into groups based on what they do, how they spend their time, and how they choose to utilize their Consumers will develop a set of conceptions that reduce incompatibilities or inconsistencies in their values and lifestyles (Syauqina & Munandar, 2. People use lifestyle concepts to analyze events that happen around them and to interpret and predict Such systems are constantly changing in response to people's need to conceptualize clues from the changing environment to be consistent with their own values and personality. According to (Sabrina & Panorama, 2. Lifestyle describes the identity of an individual in Lifestyle is often described by the activities of a person's interests and opinions. person's lifestyle is usually not permanent and changes quickly where a person may quickly change the model and brand of clothing because it adapts to changes in his life.

This study uses a likert scale in the application in the form of a questionnaire. The likert scale is used to measure the perceptions, attitudes, or opinions of a person or group regarding an event or social phenomenon based on the operational definitions set by the This Likert scale is based on criteria is from 1 = disagree strongly, 2 = disagree, 3 = moderately, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly disagree (Iltiham & Nizar, 2. In addition, the data analysis technique used in this research is the SEM-PLS analysis technique. SEM-PLS analysis aims to test complex theoretical models and causal relationships between variables, because SEM-PLS combines factor analysis and multiple regression to analyze the relationship between variables, including direct effects and indirect effects. The SEM-PLS method used in this research is: (HT et al. , 2. Malia: Jurnal Ekonomi Islam. Vol. No. 2, pp. June 2025 Santi Arafah. Yunanda Eka Putra. Iskandar Muda. Andri Soemitra. Yusrizal.

In addition, it can be seen that f square is in moderate and small effect, below: The value of f square is in the range of 0. 15 to 0. 35 including the medium category is The effect of sharia investment knowledge (X. on lifestyle (Z) is 0. The effect of sharia investment knowledge (X. on sharia mutual fund investment (Y) . The f square value is in the range of 0. 02 to 0. 15 the small category is The effect of investment experience (X. on sharia mutual fund investment is 0. The effect of lifestyle on sharia investment is 0. Coefficient of Determination (R Squar. The coefficient of determination . is a way to assess how much the endogenous construct can be explained by the exogenous construct. The coefficient of determination (R Squar. is expected to be between 0 and 1. In the R Square value, the goodness-fit-model test is used. Chin provides criteria for R Square values of 0. 67, 0. 33 and 19 as strong, moderate, and weak (Chin, 1. in (Ghozali, 2. Meanwhile, the Adjusted R Square value provides a stronger picture than R Square in assessing the ability of an exogenous construct to explain endogenous constructs.

Therefore, the null hypothesis (H. is rejected. DISCUSSION The Effect of Sharia Investment Knowledge on Investor Lifestyle The results indicate that Sharia investment knowledge has a positive and significant effect on investor lifestyle, as the p-value is 0. 001, which is less than 0. The higher an individual's Sharia investment knowledge, the more it influences their decision-making regarding Sharia investments, particularly in selecting sharia mutual funds. This knowledge serves as a fundamental base for making informed sharia investment decisions, helping individuals avoid losses and effectively allocate their funds based on their This is in accordance with Q. S Al-Isra verse 29 is Auif you spend your wealth, then you are the ones who are unsuccessfulAy. This research is also in accordance with the theory put forward by (Ajzen, 1. which states that sharia investment knowledge has a positive correlation with lifestyle because it is part of the Theory of Reasoned Action explaining that a person's behavior is determined by an intention which is a function and behavior towards subjective norm behavior. This intention is determined by three things, is behavior, subjective norms and behavioral control (Darmawan et al. , 2. The Effect of Investment Experience on Investor Lifestyle The results indicate that Investment experience has a positive and significant effect on lifestyle, with a p-value of 0. 000, which is well below 0. The higher an individual's investment experience, the more it influences their lifestyle decisions, particularly when choosing Sharia mutual funds. Investment experience, which encompasses knowledge and skills acquired from previous investments, shapes future decisions and motivates improved decision-making in Sharia investments. This experience encourages individuals to improve their decision-making in Sharia investments, aiming to allocate funds optimally based on their lifestyle and financial goals. This is in accordance with Q. Al-Baqarah: verse 261 which states that you should invest carefully and the importance of being grateful for the sustenance given. This research is also in accordance with the theory which states that investment experience has a positive correlation with lifestyle due to the lifestyle of individual behavior to spend money and time. If individuals prioritize lifestyle to get pleasure with the aim of being the center of attention, it causes consumptive behavior and becomes impulsive so that financial behavior is not managed properly (Sampoerno & Asandimitra, 2. The Effect of Investment Knowledge on Choosing Sharia Mutual Fund Investment The results show that sharia investment knowledge positively and significantly influences the choice of Sharia mutual fund investments, with a p-value of 0. 010, which is below The higher a person's Sharia investment knowledge, the more it affects their decision to invest in Sharia mutual funds. This knowledge helps individuals make informed decisions, minimizing the risk of losses and ensuring more successful investments in mutual funds. This is in accordance with QS. Lukman verse 34 which states that it is important to invest in halal and avoid usury or prohibited acts. This research is also in accordance with the theory put forward by (Ajzen, 1. which states that investment Malia: Jurnal Ekonomi Islam. Vol. No. 2, pp. June 2025 Santi Arafah. Yunanda Eka Putra. Iskandar Muda. Andri Soemitra. Yusrizal. Does Sharia Investment A knowledge is part of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) theory which is part of the actual behavioral factors influenced by subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (Lisdayanti & Hakim, 2. The Effect of Investment Experience on Choosing Sharia Mutual Fund Investment The results show that Investment experience has a positive and significant effect on the choice of Sharia mutual fund investments, with a p-value of 0. 042, which is below the 05 threshold.
