Full details →You can save for retirement without breaking your faith. Halal accounts make it easy. Here is how to choose.
Make sure the funds are screened by Islamic rules. The screen should cover both the type of business and the company's debt. Both checks matter.
Find out which account types are offered. Common ones are Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, and 401k swaps. Your taxes will guide the best pick.
Compare fund fees and advisor fees. Lower fees mean more for you. Also look at the fund's record and how varied its halal options are.
Want to move old 401(k) or 403(b) cash? Make sure the new place supports rollovers. A smooth move makes the switch to halal much easier.
