🧩 Investing with Integrity - Investieren mit Integrität🧩

I’m passionate about finding Halal investments that adhere to Islamic finance principles, avoiding sectors like alcohol, gambling, and interest-based banking, which are considered unethical. 🚫🍷🎲💵

It’s not just about avoiding certain industries; it's about supporting growth in areas aligned with ethical values. Here are some standout ETFs that align with these principles and have outperformed the SPDR S&P 500 ETF $SPY (+1.17%) over the past 5 years:

- ARK Innovation ETF $ARKK (+3.49%) +160% 

- Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF $LIT (-1.31%) : +180% 

- Global X Cloud Computing ETF $CLOU +140% 

- Invesco QQQ Trust $QQQ : +130% / not 100% compliant

- Vanguard Information Technology ETF $VGT +130% 

- Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF $GNOM +120% 

- VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF $SMH (+0.07%) +130% 

- iShares U.S. Technology ETF $$IYW (+0.64%) +130% 

- First Trust Dow Jones Internet ETF $FDN +140% 

- ARK Next Generation Internet ETF $ARKW (+1.96%) +150%

These funds focus on technology, clean energy, and innovation—sectors that contribute positively to society. 🌍💡

Hello everyone. I am 27 yo and have just started to invest early this month.

My idea is to invest 2000 CHF each month, for the next 15/20 years, mainly on $VWCE (+0.48%) and $SMH (+0.07%) but also in some single stocks. So far, I’ve invested a small portion on $MSFT (+0.15%), $AMZN (-0.02%) and $GOOGL (-0.6%), and intended to add $NVDA (-0.03%) or $TSM (+0.91%) in the near future, even tho there’s already exposure to these companies on the ETFs I have invested.

My question is: is this a smart, relatively low risk strategy or would you make some changes? Does it make sense to invest 25/30% of my portfolio on single stocks or should I just stick with ETFs?

Thank you.

Anyone have any feedback for my portfolio? Looking to get to 100k asap, while minimizing risk. $SU (-0.48%) was a lucky call on grid electrification and energy requirements resulting from an AI and computing boom.

500EUR a month in total into $IWDA (+0.72%)
$EXSA (-0.77%)
$RBOT (+0.01%) and $SMH (+0.07%)

ETF Portfolio help

Hi,

I would like help with constructing a balanced/aggressive ETF only portfolio. I have

tried to do the individual stocks approach but that is proving too time.

So, these ETFs I like:

$SUSW (+1.2%) MSCI World SRI

$IWVL (-0.28%) MSCI World Value

$XXSC (-0.64%) MSCI EMU Small Cap

$CSPX (+1.03%) Vanguard S&P Core

$SMH (+0.07%) VanEck Semicondutor

$XNAS (+0.75%) Xtrackers Nasdaq100

iShares AEX

$EIMI (-1.88%) MSCI Emerging

I dont want all of these and understand that there a bit of overlap with some – maybe even

quite a bit - but I am struggling to think which would be the best combination 4-5, and then

the right ratio of each, while still being aggressive over a 10-15year period.

Any thoughts or further considerations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

W

Hi All, After many months of playing around with options and bying into positions this is where I think I am going to land with my buy to hold portfolio with ideally a 10 year horizon. Any thoughts or observations welcome. Thank you.
