Long-Term Patience & Conviction
Unwavering Shari'ah Authenticity
Your faith is never an afterthought—it's our starting point. Every investment we consider must first pass two critical stages of Shari'ah compliance:
Initial Screening: We use the globally respected standards set by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).
Scholarly Review: Every security is then personally reviewed and approved by our renowned, US-based Shari'ah scholar, Dr. Main Alqudah, ensuring complete integrity.
Fundamental Strength & Quality
Intelligent & Professional Portfolio Design
A successful portfolio is more than just a collection of good stocks.
Macroeconomic Insight: We strategically size each sector based on our forward-looking macroeconomic expectations to position you for success.
Robust Diversification: Our portfolios are well-diversified, typically holding around 50 stocks to manage risk effectively.
Tailored to You: We offer five distinct portfolios, from conservative to aggressive, to perfectly match your personal risk tolerance and financial goals. All portfolios are professionally built and continuously monitored.

Investing for Everyone
Your Trust is Our Greatest Asset
Zaki Financial Portfolios
Direct Ownership Through Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
We provide a more personal and transparent investment experience than traditional mutual funds or ETFs. Your portfolio is held in a Separately Managed Account (SMA)—a private portfolio of individual stocks owned directly by you and held in an account under your name.
This approach provides key advantages:
Full Transparency: You see every individual stock you own, not just shares of a commingled fund.
Direct Ownership: This structure simplifies the process of calculating Zakat and purifying any incidental non-compliant income.
Greater Alignment: Your portfolio is managed according to your specific risk tolerance and financial goals.
We understand that every investor has a unique comfort level with risk and different financial goals. To ensure your investment strategy is a perfect fit for you, we offer five distinct portfolios, each tailored to a specific risk tolerance. While they vary in approach from cautious to growth-oriented, every portfolio is built on the same core principles: each is diversified across various sectors, strategically balanced for its risk profile, and professionally managed by our expert team. This structure allows you to select the strategy that aligns perfectly with your personal goals while receiving the same high standard of oversight.
Our five Shari'ah-compliant portfolio options are:
ZF Conservative Portfolio
ZF Moderate Conservative Portfolio
ZF Moderate Portfolio
ZF Moderate Aggressive Portfolio
ZF Aggressive Portfolio

Our Commitment to Your Security, Ownership, and Privacy
Your trust is the foundation of our relationship. We are dedicated to protecting your assets, data, and privacy with institutional-grade security and an unwavering ethical commitment.
You Retain Full Ownership and Control
You are always in control of your money. Your investment account is established directly in your name with our trusted, independent custodian, Alltruist Financial. This structure provides a crucial layer of security:
Direct Ownership: Your assets are legally yours and are held separately from our firm's operations.
Our Role: We are authorized by you to act solely as your advisor and portfolio manager. We never take direct custody of your funds.
Added Protection: Your account at Alltruist is protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which insures securities in your account up to $500,000.
This separation ensures that your investments are secure and that our interests are always aligned with yours.
State-of-the-Art Data Security
We treat the protection of your digital information with the utmost seriousness. Our platform is built on a foundation of robust security protocols to keep your data safe at all times.
Bank-Level Encryption: All data transmitted on our platform is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the same security standard used by major banks and financial institutions.
Secure Communication: We will only ask you to share sensitive information through our secure, encrypted client portal. We will never request confidential details like passwords or full account numbers over non-secure channels like email.
Our Unbreakable Privacy Pledge
Your privacy is not just a policy; it is a core principle. We are committed to maintaining the complete confidentiality of your personal and financial information. Our pledge to you is simple and absolute:
We will never share, sell, or rent your information to any third party for any reason. Period.

Once transferred, we will professionally manage your funds in a diversified, 100% Shari'ah-compliant portfolio, giving you peace of mind.

Navigating your workplace retirement plan can be challenging when it lacks Shari'ah-compliant options. To address this, we offer a dedicated one-hour '401(k) Review' consultation.
