Common questions

Is SKUK Shariah-compliant (halal)?

SKUK is screened as follows: USD investment-grade sukuk index; fund-level Shariah certification. Screening standards differ between index families — verify the methodology against the standard you follow before investing.

What does SKUK cost per year?

The management expense ratio is approximately 0.50% per year — about $50 annually on a $10,000 holding, deducted inside the fund rather than billed to you.

Can Canadians hold SKUK in a TFSA or RRSP?

Yes, where your broker offers London Stock Exchange access (for example Interactive Brokers Canada). UCITS funds lose 15% US withholding inside the Irish fund in every account type, but avoid US estate-tax exposure for large holdings.

Educational information, not investment advice and not a fatwa. Holdings, yields and fees are dated snapshots that change; always confirm on the official fund page and verify the Shariah screening against the standard you follow. Questions or stale numbers? [email protected].
