“One that I would be
proud to use myself.”
After many years working in the asset management industry in London, I left to create my own ethical investment company, one that I would be proud to use myself. Frustrated at the lack of true ethical and Islamic compliant investment options, with much of what was available lacking transparency and often requiring large minimum investments, I was confident I wasn't the only one looking for a better solution.
We knew the wealth management industry needed a complete rethink, looking not only at the quality of what was offered, but also how this was delivered, and importantly what customers were charged.
We don't charge a premium fee for the illusion of a personal relationship with a salesman. We don't use confusing technical jargon. We don't hide any information about fees, and we don't hide where your money is invested or how your plans are performing.
We love hearing from our customers, as our goal is to help as many people as possible to build a healthier financial future.
