Abstract: 
This paper analyzes the volatility spillover between Dow Jones UK conventional index (GBDOW) and Dow Jones UK Islamic index. Monthly observations spanning in a period from January 2010 until June 2017 are obtained from Investing.com database. Vector Auto-regression analysis (VAR) and Impulse response functions are used in order to estimate the impact. The results show that there is a significant impact of Dow Jones UK index volatility on Dow Jones UK Islamic index volatility.
