iShares MSCI USA Islamic UCITS ETF

iShares MSCI USA Islamic UCITS ETF is a Shariah-compliant exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI USA Islamic Index. This index measures the performance of large and mid-cap U.S. equity market stocks that comply with Islamic investment principles, excluding companies involved in prohibited activities such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pork-related products, conventional financial services, and excessive debt levels. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of public equities across sectors like technology services, health technology, energy minerals, electronic technology, and consumer durables, providing exposure primarily to North American companies. Managed passively through physical replication by BlackRock, it distributes dividends semi-annually and offers investors a way to gain targeted access to Shariah-screened U.S. equities. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2007, the ETF plays a key role in the growing market for ethical and faith-based investing products, catering to those seeking alignment with Islamic finance standards within developed market opportunities.
