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 British Columbia
ShariaPortfolio Canada's RRIF converts RRSP savings into regular retirement income while keeping the remaining balance Shariah-screened: income is generated from screened equities, Islamic funds, and sukuk rather than the bond interest conventional RRIFs rely on. Required minimum withdrawals are handled by the firm, with active or passive strategies calibrated for drawdown needs and the account visible alongside TFSAs and non-registered accounts in the mobile app. Screening continues through the retirement years, not just accumulation. Custody sits at Fidelity Clearing Canada ULC, and advisors serve BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. Fees are disclosed in consultation.
ShariaPortfolio Canada's RRIF keeps retirement income halal: RRSP savings convert into regular payments while the remaining balance stays Shariah-screened, with the fixed-income role that conventional retirees fill with bond ladders handled instead by sukuk and Islamic funds under AAOIFI rules. The managed format matters more in drawdown than accumulation - withdrawal sequencing against market conditions is where an advisor earns the fee - though mandated minimum withdrawals still remove some control over timing, applying every year regardless of markets. Fees are unpublished, and oversight is third-party certification anchored by group Sharia Advisor Shaykh Umer Khan. Best for retirees who want compliance oversight and professional management to continue after the accumulation years end.

ShariaPortfolio's RRIF - Registered Retirement Income Fund is available to British Columbia 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 British Columbia.
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.
