Common questions

Is UMMA Shariah-compliant (halal)?

UMMA is screened as follows: Actively managed; seeks returns similar to the Dow Jones Islamic Market International Titans 100 Index (AAOIFI-aligned DJIM screens). Screening standards differ between index families, so verify the methodology against the standard you follow before investing.

What does UMMA cost per year?

The management expense ratio is 0.65% per year: about $65 annually on a $10,000 holding, deducted inside the fund rather than billed to you.

Can Canadians hold UMMA 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.
