Halal compliance & ethical alignment

Halal Screening and Ethical Assessment

Investing ethically requires more than just meeting compliance checkboxes - it demands innovation, foresight, and financial performance. Unlike traditional Halal screening tools,purepofo pioneers two industry-first innovations:

  • Halal Prediction: Anticipate compliance risks before they occur, avoiding non-compliant stocks early.
  • Advanced ESG Screening: Identify high-performing, sustainability-driven investments, without restricting the Halal universe.

At purepofo, Halal screening stands alone - it ensures full compliance with Islamic finance principles. Sustainability screening is available as an optional enhancement for investors who seek additional ethical considerations.

    If a stock loses its Halal status, purepofo ensures proper purification of impermissible income.

    Excludes non-compliant income from dividends.

    Capital Gains Purification

    In contrary to dividends, capital gains are not linked to interest or prohibited income from operations and are not subject to purification.

    Zakat Calculation

    Calculates Zakatable assets to help investors fulfill their obligations.

Sustainability Standards

purepofo's AI-powered ESG screening helps investors find companies that combine financial strength with ethical leadership.

This is achieved by evaluating companies beyond Halal compliance through controversy screening and ESG performance analysis.

Controversy check:
Animal testing, pesticides, palm oil, others.
Environmental (E):
Pollution, emissions, resource efficiency.
Social (S):
Employee treatment, diversity, human rights.
Governance (G):
Leadership transparency, anti-corruption.

purepofo's sustainability screening is an enhancement - not a restriction. It is completely optional and designed for investors who want to incorporate additional ethical filters while maintaining strong performance.

purepofo's approach does NOT limit the Halal stock universe. Investors can choose to apply ESG filters or stick to Halal screening only.

Financial screenings formulas

  • Interest Income Ratio = Interest Income / Total Revenue
  • Interest Bearing Debt = Total Debt / Market Capitalization
  • Interest Bearing Securities = (Cash and CashEquivalents at CarryingValue + Current Net Receivables) / Market Capitalization

Purification

  • Dividend Income Purification Amount = Dividend Amount x Incompliant Income Rate
  • No Purification of Capital Gain needed
  • Purification of Stocks Turning Incompliant = (Selling Price – Price at Compliant Status) x Number of Shares
  • Zakatable Rate = Current Assets / Market Capitalization
