Strengths and trade-offs
global growth assets
- Disclosed Shari'ah oversight: two named advisory boards and a fatwa renewed June 17, 2026
- 17-year track record - Series A running since March 2009, with 10-year annualized returns of 14.75% to April 2026
- Low $500 minimum, $25 subsequent - accessible in mutual fund format with PACs
- Available across all 10 provinces through ~30 dealers and all major registered plans (RRSP/TFSA/RESP/RRIF/LIRA/LIF)
- FundGrade A+ award winner six consecutive years
- Expensive: 2.79% MER (2.45% management fee) versus roughly 0.5% for halal ETFs like WSHR
- Concentrated: 23 holdings with 66% in the top 10, and 44% in information technology
- No published purification data - investors cannot compute dividend purification from public documents
- The fatwa is published only as a scanned document, and parts of the site carry stale marketing content
Zoya
- Sharia screening methodology guided by named scholars, including Sheikh Joe Bradford and Sheikh Umer Khan
- Full compliance reports expose actual ratios and revenue breakdowns - verify rather than trust
- Canadian broker integrations: Wealthsimple and Questrade portfolio sync with compliance alerts
- Pay-what-you-think-is-fair web pricing makes Pro accessible from about $9 USD/month
- A research tool only in Canada - you'll still need a separate brokerage to trade, and Zoya Direct's brokers are US-centric
- ETF and mutual fund screening covers US-listed funds only - no TSX-listed fund verdicts
- Pro subscription required for ratio-level reports, alternative rulebooks, and multiple linked accounts

What HalalWallet is and is not
Scholars rule; we organize the evidence. HalalWallet is an independent research and comparison site for halal financial products. It is not a lender, bank, broker or adviser, and it is not a fatwa body.
What we do
- We document each product's contract, Shariah oversight, costs and availability, with the date we last checked.
- We show the range of scholarly opinion on contested questions, with sources.
What we do not do
- We do not lend, hold money, open accounts or take applications. You apply with the provider.
- We do not issue fatwas or certify any product as halal. Rulings belong to a scholar you trust.
- We do not give personal financial, legal or tax advice.
Where our role ends and who takes over · Who pays HalalWallet · HalalWallet Trust Standard, version 1.0
Before you decide, finish with three checks:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider. Their quote is final.
- Read the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah and so on) and any published Shariah board opinion.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified scholar or licensed adviser, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
