Verdict
Where each wins.
Amana for long-horizon investors who value active stewardship and the deeper track record. Wahed for new investors, mobile-first workflows, or anyone wanting automation. Many portfolios use both: Amana for satellite active exposure, a Wahed account or HLAL/SPUS for the core.
Editorial comparison. A Mufti-signed verdict replaces this when corpus content covers the pairing.
