Verdicts genuinely change. Free email alert the moment CBLS's does — no target price to set, unlike "Alert" above.
Whether this fund clears the published standards, and the filings behind that answer. The screen runs first and nothing on the trading side can override it.
Structure, momentum, positioning and levels. Separate from the Sharia verdict above, which this side never overrides.

This fund holds short positions, so exposure is counted gross — long and short both count as exposure rather than netting off, and the weights below therefore sum to 133% of net assets rather than 100%. Shares of the portfolio are shown as shares of that gross exposure.
UNVERIFIED 25% of this fund's gross exposure is short across 29 positions. Our look-through asks what a fund owns and whether owning it is permissible; a short position is not ownership but an obligation to deliver something the fund does not hold, so a verdict computed as though this were a long-only portfolio would not describe it. The holdings are listed below, with the short positions marked.
68 holdings, 61 matched (89% of weight). Portfolio as of 2026-07-31, filed 2026-09-28. Source: SEC Form N-PORT.
1.72% of this portfolio’s income is non-permissible — weighted across holdings, computed over 80% of portfolio weight (55 of 68 holdings). The common approach purifies that proportion of income received — dividends — not of the position’s value. We report the ratio; what to do with it is a question for your own scholar.
Portfolio shares are withheld: coverage is below the floor needed to state one. The holdings themselves are below, because the names are evidence you can check.

The published standards disagree about this fund by 24 points of portfolio weight — 65.9% of it passes AAOIFI, 42.2% passes MSCI Islamic. Which number is yours depends on which standard you follow.
These bars are the financial-ratio result under each standard — debt, receivables and interest income. They do not screen what the business does, so a holding can pass every ratio here and still be questionable or non-compliant on activity. The blended verdict above accounts for both.

61 of 68 listed holdings carry our own per-methodology verdicts (118% of weight). The rest hold a provider verdict with no methodology breakdown, and are counted as rated by none. Of those, 57 (109% of weight) also carry the underlying debt ratio; the rest show a verdict without the figure behind it.

Classic floor-trader pivots from the last completed daily bar. Highlighted pills are the levels bracketing the current price.
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally below. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.
Standard indicator thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20, MACD histogram sign, price vs. average) computed on daily bars. A summary of what common indicators say — not a recommendation, and not this site's own trading verdict.

The fund is an actively managed ETF that seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing securities the Adviser, believes have above-average financial characteristics such as return on invested capital, profit margins, debt-to-equity ratio, or revenue and earnings growth as identified in financial statements, relative to the broader equity market; are undervalued based on valuation metrics such as (i) enterprise value to sales, (ii) enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or (iii) price to earnings ratios.

The questions worth asking about any verdict on this page, answered plainly.
No. HTR reads the fund's filed holdings and screens each one, then reports the result by weight. A fund marketed as Islamic still gets the same look-through as any other.
It is the share of the fund whose holdings HTR cannot cover far enough to rate. It is reported as unrated rather than counted as compliant, because a holding nobody screened should not look like one that passed.
It matters, and it is noted, but it does not replace the look-through. The board's judgement and the holdings screen are shown separately so you can see when they agree and when they do not.
When the fund files new holdings, and on a rolling basis besides. The date on the verdict above is the last time this fund was actually recomputed.
Open research, not a fatwa. HTR applies published screening standards to filings and publishes what they say, including when they disagree. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Verdicts can change when new filings land.
Same screen, different answers. Comparison is where the standards disagreeing becomes useful rather than confusing.
