Business-activity disclosure

XLI is a conventional industrial-sector ETF with substantial aerospace and defence exposure. It is not Sharia-screened.

Limitation: The issuer discloses current holdings and industry weights but no universal prohibited-revenue allocation across every underlying issuer.

Purification

XLI passes through distributions from underlying issuers; no scholar-approved purification percentage is disclosed.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • State Street reported USD 33,639.05 million in assets under management as of 9 July 2026.
  • On 13 July 2026 the largest holdings included Caterpillar 7.66%, GE 6.58%, GE Vernova 5.00%, RTX 4.72% and Boeing 3.03%; aerospace and defence represented 25.81% of the reported industry allocation.
  • The issuer page does not provide a school-neutral prohibited-revenue allocation or fund-level debt, cash and receivable lines; zeroes mean not separately reported, not that every underlying issuer has zero exposure.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
