Common questions

Is SPSK Shariah-compliant (halal)?

SPSK is screened as follows: AAOIFI, tracks the Dow Jones Sukuk Total Return Index. Screening standards differ between index families — verify the methodology against the standard you follow before investing.

What does SPSK cost per year?

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

Can Canadians hold SPSK in a TFSA or RRSP?

Yes, in registered accounts at any Canadian broker with US-market access. In an RRSP the Canada–US treaty waives the 15% US withholding tax on distributions; a TFSA, FHSA or RESP gets no treaty relief, so 15% comes off every distribution.

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].
