Watch VideoWhat is Halal Investing?
Halal investing is of two types primarily, Investing in companies, also known as equities or stocks, and fixed income investments like investing in Islamic bonds (Sukuks) or real estate. Both types of investments have to be in line with Islamic principles for them to be halal. Income-based investments provide lower, more stable returns while investing in companies provide higher returns but are also riskier investments.
Equity vs. Income Based Investments
Income-Based Investments

*Lower returns when compared to equity investments and even that’s not always the case. When compared to other income-based investments with similar risk and asset classes around the world, Manzil provides you with the most halal bang for your buck. Ideally, a diversified portfolio that includes both income-based and equity investments would be the best route to go. Manzil offers this option through its Partner, WealthBar, who offers a diversified portfolio made up of income-based investments through our Income-based fund, and equity investments through Wahed Invest's equity fund.

What Makes It Halal?
Manzil’s Mortgage Fund is in line with Islamic principles of investing. Many conventional investment products aren’t compliant because they are involved with impermissible (haram) activities or generate interest (riba) as income. The Manzil mortgage fund was built from the ground up as a Halal investment fund. We worked very closely with our Shariah, legal, and audit teams to ensure it met the strict standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization of Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), the gold standard for any company in this space.
How Safe Is Your Investment?
All our transactions are secured by real assets, the homes we finance. Every home we finance is secured by a first position mortgage, meaning investors have to be paid back first before anyone else can earn a profit. In other words, it’s as safe as it gets in the world of investments.
Is This a Risky Investment?
Since Manzil’s Fund directly invests in Canadian first mortgages and doesn’t invest in company stocks, which tend to be higher risk, the fund has a low-risk profile. You will find that this investment fund will not have as much fluctuation as you would expect in an all equities stock portfolio.
Manzil's Mortgage Fund is the only fund that invests in halal mortgages in Canada and then shares the profits from financing payments back to its investors.
Built on Strict Ethical & Halal Standards from the Ground Up
We work closely with our Shariah, legal, and audit teams to ensure every part and angle of the income fund is ethically sound and in compliance with Shariah Law. Many well known, local scholars in the United States and Canada are endorsing our product. With Manzil, you can rest assured that your investment is ethical, and end-to-end shariah compliant.
The Only AAOIFI Complaint Fund in Canada
AAOFI is the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions and is the gold standard for Islamic Finance. AAOIFI compliance ensures we maintain an internal shariah auditor, an active shariah advisory board, and an independent auditor at all times. Due to their strict guidelines, very few are able to attain their certification and we're proud to be the first to do it in Canada.
An Asset-Backed Income Fund
All our transactions are secured by real and tangible assets. Every home we finance is secured by a first position mortgage meaning Manzil’s investors have to be paid back first before anyone else can earn a profit.
Higher Returns, Lower Risk
Manzil’s Halal income fund targets a 4% return. When compared to similar conventional mortgage funds issued by other financial institutions, this return is substantially higher with a similar if not better low risk profile.
What is our Mortgage Investment Fund and Why is it Halal?
A mortgage fund is an investment vehicle where individual investors pool their investment capital through unit acquisition.
A Trust structure enables the mutual fund to escape paying income tax on income earned if it distributes all net realized capital gains, income and dividends, after expenses to unit holders.
