Wahed

Wahed is a financial technology company that offers Shariah-compliant investing and related personal-finance services. The platform is designed to provide halal investment options through a digital, automated approach, appealing to Muslim investors and others seeking compliant financial solutions. Services are delivered online via web and mobile apps, making it accessible to a global client base.

The core offering is a robo-advisory investment service that builds diversified portfolios using assets deemed compliant with Islamic principles. Portfolios typically include halal equities, sukuk (Islamic bonds), and other Shariah-screened instruments. Investments are vetted against criteria established by Wahed’s Shariah advisory framework, with screening designed to exclude industries such as alcohol, gambling, conventional banking interests, and other prohibited activities. The platform emphasizes transparency in its screening process and ongoing compliance reviews.

In addition to automated investing, Wahed provides onboarding, risk assessment, and educational resources to help clients make informed decisions about halal investing and personal finance. Account funding is performed through standard online methods, and the service operates under the financial regulations applicable in the jurisdictions in which it offers its products. Fees are charged for advisory and management services, consistent with other digital wealth-management platforms.

Etymology-wise, Wahed means “one” or “unity” in Arabic, reflecting the company’s aim to offer a unified, compliant path to wealth creation. Wahed is one of several options in the growing field of halal investing and remains part of broader discussions around Shariah-compliant financial services and ethical investing.
