Methodology & caveats

The Compliant 50 is the 50 largest S&P 500 companies (by market capitalisation) that pass the nightly AAOIFI Standard 21 screen, equal-weighted and rebalanced daily, using dividend- and split-adjusted closes. Both series are indexed to 100 one year ago.

Read the outperformance carefully. Three biases work in the basket's favour:

  • Look-ahead / survivorship: constituents are today's compliant list applied backwards. A company that was non-compliant for most of the year but compliant today is included for the whole window. This is a trailing portrait of the current basket, not a tradable track record.
  • Equal weighting vs a cap-weighted benchmark: the index weights mega-caps; equal weighting gives its smallest members 25× the index's relative exposure.
  • Concentration: excluding financials tilts the basket toward technology — in the current window the AI-memory rally (SNDK, MU, DELL) accounts for most of the excess return.

Nothing on this page is investment advice or a solicitation. Data quality guard: any constituent showing a >60% single-day move (an unadjusted-split artifact) is dropped from the basket and listed in meta.errors.
