Our Take on SPFunds

Financing Structure
SP Funds ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track Shariah-screened indexes. Each ETF holds a basket of securities that have passed AAOIFI-aligned screening criteria — companies are evaluated for debt ratios, interest income, and revenue from impermissible activities. The ETFs are passively managed, meaning they track their indexes rather than making active stock-picking decisions.
In-Depth Analysis
SP Funds, launched in 2019, manages the broadest family of Shariah-compliant exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed on U.S. exchanges. Their flagship SPUS (S&P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions ETF) provides large-cap U.S. equity exposure with a 0.45% expense ratio, making it one of the lowest-cost halal equity ETFs available.
What sets SP Funds apart is the breadth of their ETF lineup. Beyond SPUS, they offer SPSK (sukuk ETF at 0.55% expense ratio) — one of the only ways to access sukuk (Islamic bonds) through a U.S.-listed ETF. They also offer sector-specific ETFs: SPTE (technology at 0.55%), SPRE (real estate at 0.55%), and SPWO (international at 0.55%). This range allows investors to build a diversified halal portfolio using a single fund family.
SP Funds ETFs trade on NYSE Arca and can be purchased through any standard brokerage account — Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, Robinhood, or any platform that supports ETF trading. This means investors don't need a separate halal-specific brokerage. The main limitation is that SP Funds manages ETFs only; they don't provide advisory services, portfolio management, or a brokerage platform.
Shariah Compliance Details
- SP Funds employs a Shariah Advisory Board that oversees the screening methodology applied to all ETFs in the family.
- The screening criteria are aligned with AAOIFI standards, evaluating companies on financial ratios including total debt to market capitalization, interest-bearing investments, and revenue from impermissible activities.
- The indexes are rebalanced periodically to remove companies that no longer meet screening thresholds and add newly compliant companies.
How SPFunds Compares
SP Funds competes in the halal ETF space primarily against Wahed's HLAL ETF and against Amana Funds' mutual funds. The comparison depends on whether investors want an ETF or mutual fund and which expense ratio and index methodology they prefer.
HLAL (0.50% expense ratio) competes with SPUS (0.45%) as a halal large-cap equity ETF. Compare index methodology and performance.
Amana offers mutual funds with a longer track record since 1986. ETFs generally have lower ongoing costs.
Bottom Line
SP Funds provides essential building blocks for a diversified halal investment portfolio. SPUS for equities at 0.45%, SPSK for sukuk, and specialty ETFs for targeted exposure. If you're a self-directed investor, SP Funds ETFs should be on your shortlist.
