How Halal Custom Indexing Works

1
Select Your Strategy

Choose an index for your target market exposure.

2
Unwrap the Strategy

Our technology unwraps the index into a separately managed account where you own the individual Halal securities.

3
Customize Your Portfolio

Your portfolio is customized for tax transitions, tax management, security restrictions, and environmental, social & corporate governance restrictions.

4
Professionally Managed

Your portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis for tax loss harvesting opportunities, rebalancing, and market changes.

How Halal Custom Indexing Works

Halal Custom Indexing filters a conventional index using AAOIFI Shari'ah standards to build a personalized, tax-efficient Halal portfolio aligned with your values.
