Assad Wealth Management A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Halal Investing in Quebec
Assad Wealth's Halal Donor-Advised Fund - marketed as Canada's first and only - is a charitable giving account: contribute cash or securities, receive an immediate tax receipt through Charitable Impact Foundation (CHIMP), an MNP-audited Canadian public foundation that handles administration and receipting, and let Assad Wealth manage the balance under its published DJIM-style halal screens until you grant it to registered charities on your own timeline. Assad frames it Islamically as a private waqf and sadaqa jariah vehicle with family naming or anonymity options. Neither CHIMP's administration fees nor Assad's management fees are published, and no minimum contribution is stated.
A donor-advised fund is a smart structure for planned giving - contribute now for the immediate tax receipt, let the assets grow tax-free, and grant to charities over time - and Assad offers it within a Shariah-compliant investment approach with credible administrative plumbing through the MNP-audited Charitable Impact Foundation. The gaps sit on the religious and cost sides: no scholar or board is named for the DAF specifically, and neither of the two fee layers (CHIMP administration, Assad management) is published, nor is a minimum contribution. Careful donors should probe all three before funding. Best for affluent Canadian Muslim families and business owners who want to organize long-term charitable giving - a family waqf-style fund - through one tax-receipted vehicle.
Pros
- Immediate tax receipt when you contribute cash or securities
- Contributed funds stay invested under published halal screens to grow tax-free before granting
- Grants can flow to your chosen registered charities on your own timeline
- Administration by Charitable Impact Foundation (CHIMP), an MNP-audited public foundation
- Family naming or anonymity options - structured as sadaqa jariah / private waqf
Cons
- No scholar or committee is named for the Halal DAF specifically; the only verifiable religious governance sits at the underlying Mackenzie fund level
- Two layers of unpublished fees - CHIMP administration plus Assad Wealth management - and no stated minimum
- The 'first and only halal DAF in Canada' claim is unverified marketing with no substantiation or date given

Shariah Compliance & Oversight
The practice's FAQ references Shariah board oversight and the About page cites collaboration with 'Shariah specialists,' but no board, scholar, or committee is named anywhere on the site for the practice or its Halal DAF (verified in a July 2026 full-site audit). The only verifiable religious governance sits at the fund level: the Mackenzie Shariah Global Equity Fund - the practice's flagship halal vehicle - carries a fatwa and semi-annual Shariah audits from Ratings Intelligence Partners, with an annually published purification ratio. Ask directly who reviews overall portfolio construction and the DAF's holdings, and in what capacity.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
