Monthly Halal Stocks Portfolio Update - Dec 2025

Halal Growth Portfolio: Resilient Through a Tough November Market

November was a challenging month across global markets, with both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 seeing sharp declines. Despite the broader sell-off, the Iqra Momentum Portfolio showed strong resilience.

After finishing October at +28.76% YTD, the portfolio closed November at +27.8%, a modest ~1% pullback — especially impressive given how steep the broader market losses were.

This controlled drawdown highlights the portfolio’s defensive strength and disciplined selection process. While major indices struggled, the portfolio held its ground, protected earlier gains, and positioned itself for stability heading into December.

Top Performers of November

In November, the portfolio continued to show strong momentum across several key positions. Alphabet ($GOOGL) remained one of the standout performers, delivering an exceptional +82.6% total return and reinforcing its leadership within the growth segment. Howmet Aerospace ($HWM) also showed impressive strength with a +53.27% gain, supported by steady demand in the aerospace and defence sector.

Our new addition, Carpenter Technology ($CRS) maintained its solid momentum with a +33.68% return driven by ongoing strength in speciality metals. Shopify ($SHOP) added further upside with a +6.45% uplift.
