Ethics Framework

What we will not invest in.

Every portfolio published here, and every recommendation we provide one-on-one, follows the screening rules below. Companies whose main business falls into any excluded category are not eligible — regardless of expected return.

Exclusion list

  • Illicit drugs
  • Alcohol production and distribution
  • Tobacco and nicotine products
  • Gambling and betting platforms
  • Adult entertainment industry
  • Lethal weapons sold to nations engaged in active aggressive conflicts
  • Companies whose primary business meaningfully degrades society

Guiding principles

  • Transparency about every holding and the reasoning behind it
  • Long-term, conviction-based investing over speculation
  • Shariah-conscious compatibility for Muslim investors
  • Avoiding sectors that profit from human harm
  • Continuous re-evaluation as company practices evolve

Screening is reviewed on each decision. If a held company's business mix changes materially, the position is re-evaluated and may be exited.
