Understanding Shariah-Compliant Investing 

Shariah-compliant investing – also known as halal investing – follows Islamic finance principles by avoiding industries and financial practices that do not comply with Islamic law, such as: 

  • Interest-based earnings (riba) 
  • Companies involved in alcohol, gambling, weapons, or pork products 
  • Excessive uncertainty (gharar) in financial transactions 

This fund is rigorously reviewed by a board of Islamic finance scholars to ensure compliance, giving you confidence that your investment aligns with your values.
