Hands-off halal investing
Went with ShariaPortfolio for managed halal investing. They built a diversified portfolio based on my risk profile and handle all the screening. Hands-off which is what I wanted.

Halal Retirement Accounts in Alberta
ShariaPortfolio Canada's LIRA accepts locked-in pension transfers from former employers into a Shariah-screened portfolio - converting a conventional, usually bond-heavy pension balance into AAOIFI-compliant management for the locked-in decades until retirement. The portfolio holds screened equities, sukuk, and Islamic funds with no conventional bonds, in active or passive strategies matched to time horizon, and sits alongside RRSP and RRIF accounts in one consolidated halal retirement picture. Withdrawal restrictions are legislated under provincial LIRA rules. Custody is at Fidelity Clearing Canada ULC, with advisors serving BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.
For Canadians who left a job and a pension behind, this LIRA converts that locked-in money into a Shariah-screened portfolio backed by formal compliance opinions - usually the only way to get a former employer's plan out of its conventional default fund and into AAOIFI-compliant management. Because the money is locked until at least 55 under provincial rules, the multi-decade horizon suits the firm's active and passive equity-and-sukuk strategies, and the account consolidates with RRSPs and RRIFs under one advisor relationship. Withdrawal restrictions are legislated, so treat it strictly as retirement capital, and expect the fee conversation to happen in consultation since nothing is published. Best for former plan members who want their pension transfer managed halal until retirement.

ShariaPortfolio's LIRA - Locked-In Retirement Account is available to Alberta residents, structured as a Wealth Management retirement product. Retirement savings in a halal vehicle helps ensure your nest egg grows without exposure to prohibited industries or interest-bearing instruments. ShariaPortfolio serves 4 provinces, including Alberta.
ShariaPortfolio manages all portfolios - Canadian accounts included - under AAOIFI rules, and the group's religious oversight is anchored by Shaykh Umer Khan, Sharia Advisor since October 2022. His credentials are unusually deep for the role: Shahadah al-'Alimiyyah from Al-Salam Institute, ifta' (the license to issue Islamic legal verdicts) from Darulifta Birmingham - carrying the title of mufti - plus a Master's in Finance from Wharton and a second Master's in Islamic Finance. Fund-level attestation exists for the affiliated SP Funds ETFs, each of which publishes a Certificate of Sharia Accreditation and a Sharia Auditor Report. The honest gap: neither shariaportfolio.com nor shariaportfolio.ca names a standing multi-member Shariah supervisory board - governance runs through AAOIFI adherence, one named advisor, and per-fund certificates. ShariaPortfolio Canada's own team (Anis Rahman, Siddiq Mohamed, Irfan Chaudhry CFA) fronts client education, not religious rulings.

The portfolio construction is thoughtful and the compliance documentation is thorough. Transparently managed - you can see exactly what you're invested in and why it's halal.
Good service. Fees are reasonable for active management. Performance has been in line with my expectations. Nothing flashy, just consistent halal investing.
