Wahed Invest co-founder Nilish Chadha said: "We believe that this is the future of the wealth management and ethical finance industry. We have developed our technology to combine Wall Street-level portfolio management with socially responsible track records and investment principles, to create a new niche in the industry of ethical finance.
“We empower our investors by not only automating the entire investing process, but also giving them the tools to monitor and plan their customized portfolios using our state-of-the-art client portal."
The platform is deemed as the world's first automated ethical investment platform, and can be accessed by the world's lower socio-economic demographic, Wahed Invest said.
Wahed Invest CEO Junaid Wahedna said: "Sophisticated investment management services were previously available only to wealthy investors through financial advisors. We believe that the first step to ethical investing begins with access for anyone that wants to invest ethically.
