Fund Purifier Cover

Fund Purifier
Invest in halal versions of popular US funds.Built-in Shariah-compliance monitoring, smart rebalancing and more..

Introduction

Investing in the stock market as a Muslim is hard, because it’s not always obvious what’s halal and what isn’t. It gets even trickier when it comes to investing in funds, because there’s no way to exclude non-halal stocks from a fund with hundreds of stocks.

Until now.

Why

We built the Fund Purifier to automatically filter any US-listed mutual fund or ETF for you.

Just choose a fund, and we automatically filter it for compliant stocks.

On top of that, we also support:

๐Ÿ” Tracking fund changes so your filtered fund reflects additions/removals in the original fund

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Automatic removal when a stock turns haram (and re-added if it turns halal)

โš–๏ธ Smart rebalancing so any funds invested/withdrawn help you come closer to the target weights

… and more!

It’s also 100% Free! You can use it today by signing up at https://fundpurifier.com.

Oh, and one more thing. It’s completely open-source ๐Ÿ’ฅ

You’ll need to sign up to these services and populate your local .env file with the following keys:
