How We Screen Invesco QQQ Trust
Every stock is evaluated against four AAOIFI criteria. QQQ must pass all four tests to be considered Shariah compliant.
1. Business Activity Screen
We check if Invesco QQQ Trust operates in any haram sector such as alcohol, gambling, tobacco, conventional banking, pork products, or weapons manufacturing. Companies in these industries are automatically rejected.
2. Debt Ratio (< 30%)
Interest-bearing debt divided by QQQ's market capitalization must be below 30%. This ensures the company is not excessively reliant on interest-based financing.
3. Cash Ratio (< 30%)
Cash and interest-bearing securities divided by market capitalization must stay below 30%. This screens out companies that earn significant returns from interest-bearing deposits.
4. Income Ratio (< 5%)
Non-permissible income (such as interest income) divided by total revenue must be below 5%. Even compliant companies may have a small amount of non-permissible income that requires purification.
What is AAOIFI Screening?
The AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) is the global standard-setting body for Islamic finance. Their screening methodology, commonly known as the 30/30/5 rule, is the most widely used standard for determining whether a publicly traded stock is permissible (halal) for Muslim investors.
The standard evaluates two dimensions: the nature of the company's business (it must not primarily operate in prohibited sectors), and three financial ratios that measure the company's exposure to interest-bearing debt, interest-bearing cash, and non-permissible income.
Halalytic automates this screening using real-time financial data. While automated screening provides a strong initial assessment, investors should also consult qualified Shariah scholars for definitive rulings, especially for borderline cases. For a full walkthrough of each screen and what every verdict means, read the halal stock screening methodology.
