Investment Objective & Strategy
The OneVest Halal Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns while making investments that meet Shariah requirements and are compliant with Islamic law. The Portfolio achieves this objective by using a diversified set of investment products across various geographies and asset classes that meet Shariah compliance standards as set by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).
Portfolio Holdings
The OneVest Halal Portfolio is constructed using a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant asset classes and investment strategies:
Physical Precious Metals |
Metals that exhibit high economic value due to their scarcity, use in industrial processes, inflation hedging properties, and role as a store of value. Physical precious metals funds are physically backed and track the current spot price. Portfolio holdings may include: |
Shariah Compliant Global Public Equities |
Stocks that trade on an exchange diversified across regions, sectors, and company size (market capitalization) in both developed and emerging markets, that are consistent with Islamic values by excluding companies with impermissible accounting ratios or business activities. Portfolio holdings may include: |
Shariah Compliant Income Investments |
Offers investors periodic payments often tied to profit-sharing. Higher-quality income investments generally provide more stable cash flows, while lower-quality securities can provide higher returns but carry a higher risk of default or non-payment. Portfolio holdings may include: |
Shariah Compliant Real Estate Investment Trusts |
Publicly traded companies that own and/or operate income-generating real estate which are consistent with Islamic values by excluding companies with impermissible accounting ratios or business activities. Portfolio holdings may include: |

Manzil Mortgage Fund:
- The Manzil Mortgage Fund is a non-prospectus-qualified investment fund that is offered through an Offering Memorandum.

- In certain cases, and at Manzil's discretion, withdrawal requests over $20,000 from this Fund in a calendar month may be subject to additional restrictions and cash may not be received in your bank account for up to one year. While we do not anticipate this happening often, this clause is intended to protect all unitholders of the Fund.
- Profits from the Fund are paid to you on a monthly basis.

How are the distributions paid for the Manzil Mortgage Fund?
Distributions refer to the cash income you receive by being an investor in the fund. You are entitled to distributions for the period in which you are an investor in the fund.
In the case of the Manzil Mortgage Fund, the distributions are paid out in the month following the month in which you are an investor in the fund.
For example, in the Manzil Mortgage Fund, you'll receive a distribution in August for being an investor in the fund throughout the month of July, and you will receive a distribution in September for being invested in the fund throughout August, and so forth.
You officially become an investor in the fund when your purchase is processed on the NAV (net asset value), which occurs once a month.
In other words, there is always a start date of eligibility for shares held that is applied but, your distributions should be regular following this pattern moving forward. In the event you sell the fund in September, for example, you are still entitled to receive a distribution in the month of October.
