While it\u2019s true that halal investing guidelines follow Islamic principles, the ethical framework of halal investing is universal and can be applied to mainstream investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halal investing emphasises the importance of investments being ethical and socially responsible which can also appeal to those who are concerned about the ethical impact of their investments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Halal Investing is More Expensive Than Conventional Investing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another misunderstanding is that halal investing is more expensive than its traditional counterpart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the reality is that while some halal-specific funds may charge a higher fee, the&nbsp;cost of halal investing is comparable to conventional investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Halal Investing Have Lower Returns Compared to Traditional Investments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many believe the myth that halal investing compromises your returns on investment because of its limited investment opportunities. That is, however, hardly the truth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be deemed halal, Shariah-compliant funds weed out companies with copious amounts of debt or partake in excessive risk or speculation, resulting in investors buying some of the best, most ethical and socially responsible companies in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sharia-Compliant-Investments\"><strong>Sharia-Compliant Investments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stocks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in stocks is one of the most common forms of halal investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A halal investor needs to verify that the company issuing the stock is Sharia-compliant; businesses that operate in forbidden industries or are deemed excessively risky should be regarded with extra caution or excluded from your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Islamic Exchange-Traded-Funds (ETFs)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like stocks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/the-ultimate-guide-to-etfs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ETFs<\/a>, are a popular Sharia-compliant investment instrument. There are Sharia-compliant ETFs on the market that invest in a basket of halal stocks and as another option, halal investors can stick to regular ETFs. The caveat is that you have to be extra careful and take more time to screen a bigger number of companies than if you were to buy an individual stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wahed Dow Jones Islamic World ETF (UMMA)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>UMMA provides exposure to Sharia-compliant global equities across developed and emerging markets like Brazil and Australia. Companies on the fund undergo an extensive screening process to ensure that their finance ratios are in line with the Islamic financial laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SP Funds S&amp;P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions ETF (SPUS)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>SPUS invests in companies within the S&amp;P 500 index, excluding those that don\u2019t comply with Islamic law i.e. firms involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapons, pork products, adult entertainment, credit cards, and charging interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In compliance with Islamic principles, the ETF also screens out companies with a lot of debt. As such, the companies that are included in SPUS may be&nbsp; more resilient to economic downturns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top holdings within SPUS include Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet and Tesla. Overall, the ETF has 215 holdings, less than half of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/voo-vs-spy-vs-ivv-whats-the-best-sp-500-etf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S&amp;P 500 ETF like SPY<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sukuk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonds are based on debt and interest payments (riba) and are not Sharia-compliant. Because of this, halal investors can invest in sukuks as an alternative\u2014Islamic financial certificates similar to bonds and are backed by tangible assets, not debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SP Funds Dow Jones Global Sukuk ETF (SPSK)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>SPSK is the world\u2019s first Sukuk ETF. It seeks to provide exposure to investment-grade sukuks (more on sukuks in the section below) and tracks the performance of the Dow Jones Sukuk Total Return Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like SPUS, the SPSK ETF is issued by SP Fund, a fund manager dedicated to halal, Sharia-compliant financial solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They manage all their funds according to the rules of the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), and under the guidance of their ethical advisor, Imam Omar Suleiman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Real Estate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Real estate is a cornerstone of any investment portfolio whether halal or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halal investors, however, need to exercise some caution when dealing with real estate to ensure that the investment is fully halal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, traditional mortgages involving interest payments are not permissible under Islamic finance. Investors must also take extra steps to verify that the real estate is not used to generate haram income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SP Funds S&amp;P Global REIT Sharia ETF (SPRE)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPRE ETF seeks to provide exposure to Sharia compliant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/investing-in-reits-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">real estate investment trusts (REITs)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ETF is composed of REITs across different sectors including data centre, industrial, retail, healthcare, and more; it\u2019s a great option for investors looking to gain exposure to real estate while maintaining their values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Commodities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/how-to-invest-in-commodities-complete-guide-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Commodities<\/a> such as gold and silver are usually considered as investment safe havens. They are also a viable halal investment option since they\u2019re not based on speculation and pose no other halal-related risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SPDR Gold Shares (<\/strong><strong>GLD)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPDR Gold Shares is designed to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion.

This is a question that has plagued many halal investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself struggling and in the same position, here are some tips on how to check if an investment instrument is Sharia-compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check How the Company Makes Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first check that needs to be done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halal investors will have to look at the company\u2019s revenue stream and determine if the revenue generated falls within the haram industries like those mentioned above. Businesses operating in these industries should be ruled out completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look Into the Company\u2019s Financial Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A halal investor should also screen whether:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The total value of long and short-term debt is less than 30% of market capitalisation<\/li><li>The total interest-bearing securities are less than 30% of market capitalisation<\/li><li>The percentage of total income or revenue generated from impermissible activities is less than 5%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Values here are obtained based on standards stipulated by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and will vary across Sharia bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Screen Investments with Islamic Finance Apps&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging Islamic finance apps is also a great way for halal investors to evaluate their investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These apps are designed to simplify the investment decision-making process and easily verify if an investment is in line with the tenets of Islam, saving you time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-Invest-in-Your-Values-Halal-Investing-in-Singapore\"><strong>How to Invest in Your Values: Halal Investing in Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/brokerage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Syfe\u2019s Bundles on Brokerage<\/a> makes it easy \u2013 and free \u2013 to invest in halal stocks and ETFs.
