Transform popular index funds into Shariah-compliant and BDS-free investment portfolios in just a few simple steps
Start with Popular Funds
We take well-known index funds like the S&P 500, FTSE 100, and other global indices as our starting point
Apply Ethical Filters
Filter out non-Shariah compliant companies and those on BDS boycott lists using AAOIFI standards
Connect & Deploy
Connect your Trading 212 account and we'll create the filtered pie directly in your brokerage
Stay Updated
We update the filters monthly and notify you when it's time to rebalance your portfolio
Popular index funds as foundation
We start with proven index funds that have delivered consistent returns over decades. These include major indices like the S&P 500 and FTSE 100.
These funds are already diversified across hundreds of companies, providing excellent exposure to global markets.
Shariah compliance filters
- • Limited interest-based businesses (banks, conventional finance)
- • No alcohol, gambling, or adult entertainment
- • Limited debt-to-equity ratios (AAOIFI standards)
- • No pork-related businesses
BDS boycott filters
- • Companies supporting illegal settlements
- • Military contractors with specific ties
- • Based on BDS movement guidelines
Dual ethical screening
Our filtering system applies both Shariah compliance standards and BDS boycott criteria to ensure your investments align with your values.
We use AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) standards for Shariah compliance, which are widely recognized in Islamic finance.
Seamless broker integration
Connect your Trading 212 account securely through their official API. We only request permissions for creating and managing pies - we never see your balance, transactions, or other sensitive data.
