SCREEN
The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This company is excluded by both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. It fails on both:
The common standard· AAOIFI Used by most halal investing apps✗ DOES NOT PASS
Our stricter standard· asset-based The one Titan applies✗ DOES NOT PASS
Why it fails. The problem is its prohibited keyword in sector/industry: insurance. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.
Business activityProhibited keyword in sector/industry: insuranceFail
Debt loadInterest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows.Fail
Interest-bearing cashInterest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit.Fail
ReceivablesMoney owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit.Fail
Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line.Fail
Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.
PLAIN
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Insurance numbers tempt until ethics close the door
Every time a storm barrels into coastal homes the claims arrive in waves that test any insurer's books. Slide Insurance shows 38% revenue growth, 39% profit margins and 60% ROE at a forward P/E of just 5.8x, yet the ethical screen rules the sector out on principle and that is the end of the conversation.
The business looks efficient on paper and trades below our internal fair value, but none of those figures override the hard stop. We pass without hesitation because the screen exists to keep certain industries off the table regardless of how cheap they appear.
Catastrophe losses in property and casualty lines can erase years of reported profits in a single season, and low multiples often signal exactly that risk rather than a bargain. Analysis, not advice.
