Wahed
About the Company
Wahed is a digital Shariah-compliant investment platform, giving Muslim investors an accessible, low-cost way to grow their wealth in a manner consistent with Islamic principles. Founded in 2015 by Junaid Wahedna, the company built what it describes as the world’s first automated halal investment platform, screening out interest-bearing instruments and industries such as alcohol, gambling and tobacco. Wahed has grown into the leading global brand in halal investing, now serving several hundred thousand clients across the US, UK, Malaysia, UAE and beyond, with backing that has included Saudi Aramco’s venture arm.
Strategic Focus
Muslim consumers represent a large and historically underserved segment of the global wealth and retail investment market, with few credible, values-aligned alternatives to conventional finance. Wahed is building on its position as the category leader to support its expansion into new products (including savings and real estate) and new markets as it scales access to ethical, Shariah-compliant investing worldwide.
