Our Processes at Musaffa

Our exceptional financial analysts produce an accurate and comprehensive report on each publicly traded company by analyzing all publicly available information, including annual and quarterly reports, company websites, company presentations, press releases, and much more.

We offer three Shariah-compliance statuses for the stocks we cover: Halal, Not Halal, and Doubtful. The stocks we have not yet analyzed will be under “Not Covered” status.

Once we determine that the stocks are Shariah-compliant, we divide the Shariah-compliant stock universe into five groups and rank them from 1 to 5. The higher the ranking, the more Shariah-compliant the stock is. For example, suppose a particular stock receives a ranking of 5. In that case, that stock belongs to the most Shariah-compliant stocks group.

We survey annual and quarterly reports, company presentations, press releases, and more to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information on your stocks. We also make informed adjustments based on the footnotes revealed on reports to give you a clear picture of a company’s financial standings.
