Honestly, when shouldn't you use HalalGauge?
- If you only follow AAOIFI and want managed money — Wahed is the better fit. We don't manage money.
- If you need coverage beyond US large/mid caps today — Zoya, Musaffa and Islamicly screen tens of thousands of global stocks; our universe is still growing.
- If a named Shariah supervisory board is your deciding factor — every competitor above has one; we don't yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.
We respect the other players. They each serve a real need; we serve a need they don't. If we're the wrong fit for you, we'll say so.
