You can save for retirement without breaking your faith. Halal accounts make it easy. Here is how to choose.
Make sure the funds are screened by Islamic rules. The screen should cover both the type of business and the company's debt. Both checks matter.
Find out which account types are offered. Common ones are RRSP, TFSA, and other registered accounts. Your taxes will guide the best pick.
Compare fund fees and advisor fees. Lower fees mean more for you. Also look at the fund's record and how varied its halal options are.
Want to move old RRSP or pension cash? Make sure the new place supports transfers. A smooth move makes the switch to halal much easier.
