Common questions

Is SPUS Shariah-compliant (halal)?

SPUS is screened as follows: AAOIFI, tracks the S&P 500 Shariah Industry Exclusions Index (roughly 200 of the S&P 500). Screening standards differ between index families, so verify the methodology against the standard you follow before investing.

What does SPUS cost per year?

The management expense ratio is 0.45% per year: about $45 annually on a $10,000 holding, deducted inside the fund rather than billed to you.

Can Canadians hold SPUS 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.
