A New Milestone for Halal Investing: What the Launch of KWIN Means for You
Nov 5, 2025

What Happened — and Why It Matters
The world of halal investing just expanded!
Wahed Invest, a global Shariah-compliant investment platform, and KraneShares, a leading ETF provider, have launched a new Shariah-compliant fund: the KWIN ETF.
This fund (listed on the New York Stock Exchange) gives Muslims a way to invest and potentially earn income — while staying true to Islamic values.
At Nisaa Wealth Institute, we’re passionate about making investing simple, clear, and faith-aligned. So let’s break down what this launch really means for you.
What Is the KWIN ETF?
KWIN stands for KraneShares Wahed Alternative Income Index ETF.
It’s designed to give Muslim investors a halal alternative to conventional income funds, which often rely on interest-based securities.
Here’s what makes it special:
✅ Shariah screening: KWIN excludes companies involved in prohibited industries like alcohol, gambling, interest-based finance, and tobacco.
✅ Ethical income generation: Instead of earning from interest, it uses equity and option-based strategies that align with Islamic principles.
✅ Accessibility: As an ETF, it’s easily tradable — meaning you can invest with transparency and flexibility.
Why This Launch Matters for Muslim Investors
This launch represents a big step forward in making faith-based finance mainstream.
Here’s why:
🌙 More halal choices: Each new product expands access to values-based investing.
💰 Income without compromise: Many Muslims avoid conventional income funds — KWIN fills that gap with a halal-compliant option.
📈 Growing industry: It shows that large financial firms are now taking halal investing seriously, opening doors for future innovation.
At Nisaa Wealth Institute, we see KWIN as another sign that halal investing is no longer niche — it’s growing, global, and here to stay.
Things to Keep in Mind
Before you rush to invest, remember:
⚠️ It’s new. As a newly launched fund, KWIN doesn’t yet have a long performance history.
⚠️ It uses options. The fund’s strategy involves options — a halal-approved structure, but one that still carries unique risks.
⚠️ It’s one piece of the puzzle. KWIN can be part of a balanced portfolio, but not the whole plan.
Always seek understanding before investing — that’s where we can help.
