Default How can I use the * wildcard in an array formula

Hi, I am trying to do a sumif in an array formula with 2 conditions.

In the second condition I am using the * wildcard to get cells that contain
the characters Buy.

The formula below entered as an array formula returns 0. I have confirmed
that the array formula is treating the * literally, as a character rather
than a wildcard.

Is there a way around this?

=SUM(IF((G$16:G$1000="Share Trade")*(H$16:H$1000="*Buy*"),I$16:I$1000))

Regards,

Bruce
