Common questions

Is SPSK Shariah-compliant (halal)?

SPSK is screened as follows: AAOIFI, tracks the Dow Jones Sukuk Total Return Index. Screening standards differ between index families, so verify the methodology against the standard you follow before investing.

What does SPSK cost per year?

The management expense ratio is 0.50% per year: about $50 annually on a $10,000 holding, deducted inside the fund rather than billed to you.

Can Canadians hold SPSK in a TFSA or RRSP?

Yes, in registered accounts at any Canadian broker with US-market access. In an RRSP the Canada–US treaty waives the 15% US withholding tax on distributions; a TFSA, FHSA or RESP gets no treaty relief, so 15% comes off every distribution.

Educational information, not investment advice and not a fatwa. Holdings, yields and fees are dated snapshots that change; always confirm on the official fund page and verify the Shariah screening against the standard you follow. Questions or stale numbers? fawad@ahmed.fyi.
