There’s a good chance that your current superannuation could be Haram.

Check to see if you have exposure to ‘defensive’ assets such as regular cash & fixed interest. This is Riba which is Haram. Generally speaking, most superfunds have approximately a quarter of member's superannuation sitting in defensive assets on average.

On top of that, your super could also be invested in harmful industries, such as

  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Gambling
  • Conventional Banking
  • Adult Entertainment
  • and more…

If your super’s invested in these industries, which a lot of them are, this means you’re potentially making money from old people gambling away their pension money. Alcoholics who keep buying liquor. Or smokers who contribute towards over 15,000 deaths in Australia every year.

Halal investing on the other hand can be a great positive alternative, and that’s what we specialise in here at Purewealth Services.
