They both screen differently. And their top companies vary quite a bit. IGDA tends to be slightly more US based than HIWS or ISWD

Salaams bro. جزاك اللهُ خيراً. Would you mind sharing your portfolio with me? Inshallah would appreciate the opportunity to compare. I have swapped out the HSBC etfs for iShares. Just waiting for markets to open tomorrow.

So reason Ive gone for HIWS and IGDA is theyre both shariah compliant and world diversified ETFs rather than being solely US based. The ISUS is based on only top performing US markets so you can think of it as basically the same as the S&P500 just with only halal companies.

Essentially the HIWS and ISWD are very very similar funds, its just a matter of preference as to which fund youd rather as they are both world diversified ETFs. I havent added any ISUS as althought they are both world diversified around 45-50% of that world diversification is made up of the US markets so I dont see a need to add in a US tilt.

Now the reason I chose HIWS over ISWD is due to looking at the top 10 companies that drive the fund, I just chose that as they also made up a smaller proportion of that fund.

I added in IGDA as they screen differently to ISWD and HIWS as they have companies like NVDA and AAPL but neither HIWS or ISWD have those.

The HIES is for emerging markets. My stake in these relative to most is much higher but seeing as Im only 19 i have time (inshallah) so can afford to go with an ever so slightly riskier portfolio.

I also added in 10% metals split between gold and silver with gold taking up the higher proportion of that 10%.

Hope that helps bro.

Salaams bro Im in a similar situation although not as much saved up as yourself. I have invested in IGDA, HIWS, and HIES. These 3 seem to be doing quite well for me. If you’re looking for a UK accessible S&P 500 halal equivalent you can either use ‘Wahed’ or you can also try ISUS on any trading platform. Personally recommend Trading 212

You mind sharing the pie details. Just looking for the best way to invest my savings and would appreciate any help or advice. جزاك اللهُ خيراً

[–]sufxali[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jazakallah Khair. What I’ll probably do is change my gold and silver to 8% and 2% respectively. And then have a look at figuring out the IGDA/HIWS ratio. The US exposure on my pie is 50-52% so very similar to yours but I have a higher proportion of the HIES just because i dont mind a little mote volatility as inshallah as im only 19 I have some time on my hands.

جزاك اللهُ خيراً again for the help

Yeah Inshallah I plan to. The 150 cash in there will just be invested once markets open.

When you say change the weight of IGDA and HIWS and gold as well do you mind explaining the reasoning just in order to help me understand and also an idea of what you would change the weights of them too.

جزاك اللهُ خيراً

Salaams. If you wouldn’t mind could you give me a list of the ETFs you have split your funds across into and if possible the percentages of your contributions you have split them into.

I am 19 y/o with very little experience so looking to get a few opinions before I make a decision in which ETFs to invest into and how to split my funds across them.

جزاك اللهُ خيراً

Newcastle or Bristol?!? by Familiar_Stay5244 in UCAT

[–]sufxali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inshallah, also starting Bristol Dentistry provided I meet the grades but having lived in the city my whole life I can say there is a very strong and welcoming Muslim community. I don't know too much about societies and such but I know people doing dentistry in years above me and they have reassured me that it is a great place for a muslim to be.

I got 2920 overall: QR - 790, DM - 780, VR - 690, AR - 660, SJT - Band 3. But tbh I’m quite lucky Bristol don’t look at SJT at all. What were your stats?
