What is the difference between fund-level and manager-level Shariah certification?

A fund-level certificate names the product and covers a stated period. A manager-level certificate covers the firm in general and is not evidence about any particular fund.

What to look for on a certificate:

• The product it names - this fund, or the manager
• The period it covers, and whether that period has ended
• The board or scholar who issued it, identified by name
• The standard the certification was assessed against

InvestHAQ grades the strength of the evidence a fund discloses on the Certification Strength Scale. It grades the evidence - it does not certify the fund.
