CHAPTER 3 OF 17
Common halal ETF tickers
A team with different positions
By now you know what a halal ETF is, and how screening decides what goes into the basket. This chapter looks at four ETF tickers you'll see mentioned around the site: SPUS, HLAL, UMMA, and SPWO.
Think of these four funds like a team where each player has a different position. None of them is "the best player" — they simply cover different parts of the field. One might focus on large, well-known US companies, another on the broader US market, another on companies around the world.
This chapter describes each fund's general role only. It is not a ranking, and it is not a suggestion to buy any of them — think of it as reading the team roster before a game, not picking a favorite.
The four tickers
Generally described by its provider as covering large, well-known US companies that pass its screening rules — a starting point some investors use for US exposure.
Generally described as tracking a broader slice of the US stock market, screened the same way, covering more companies of different sizes than a large-company-only fund.
Generally described as covering companies from around the world, not just the US — a way some investors add international variety to a portfolio.
Generally described as an international fund focused on companies outside the US — another way to diversify beyond a single country's market.

Where to see current details
Each of these tickers has its own entry on the ETF Data page, showing a sample growth chart and basic facts like expense ratio and category. Those figures are illustrative and refreshed periodically, not live market data — the page will show a visible note if a fund's figures haven't been refreshed recently.
For the exact, current holdings, screening methodology, and fees of any fund, its provider's own fact sheet is always the definitive source — this chapter, and this site, describe roles in general terms only.
Facts can change over time
A provider can update a fund's index, screening rules, or holdings over time. Nothing here is a permanent description — it's a snapshot to help you understand roughly what each ticker represents today.

SPUS, HLAL, UMMA, and SPWO each play a different role — some focused on US large companies, some on the broader US market, some international. None is described here as better than another; the ETF Data page and each provider's fact sheet are the places to check current, specific details.
Four funds, four general roles — not a ranking of one against another.
