Wahed launches pioneering UCITS ETFs with additional values based screen considering human rights and injustice

January 19, 2026-Wahed, the world's leading Islamic fintech and investment manager, today announced the launch of a groundbreaking suite of UCITS equity ETFs that integrate Shariah compliance with an additional discretionary review framework informed by Islamic values.

Islamic values emphasise the protection of human rights and dignity, accountability for harm, and responsiveness to injustice-values Wahed's framework seeks to uphold.

This marks a pioneering development in the European ETF market, where established Shariah screening is supplemented by a structured evaluation of broader values considerations. The Funds are domiciled in Ireland, and have received Central Bank of Ireland approval.

Pushing Ethical Boundaries
The ETFs launch with two flagship funds. Both funds will meet the rigorous requirements of Shariah compliance, such as excluding prohibited sectors like alcohol, gambling, and conventional banking etc.
