Saving for the future is important, but so is staying true to your values

Halal investing is investing in anything that is not made haram by Sharia law.

A lot of conventional products are not halal - including many mainstream ethical funds and many Muslims unknowingly or knowingly invest in haram products.

However there are a huge amount of halal options available on the market in asset classes such as equities, gold, art, start up investing and even property. IFG is here to help muslims and socially conscious investors to access them.

You can use our brand new track tool to see if your stocks are halal or haram.
