Halal screening — Asia

portfolIQ integrates official regulatory Shariah lists for Asian markets. These are sourced directly from financial regulators — not third-party databases.

SC Malaysia (Securities Commission Malaysia)

• Authority: Securities Commission Malaysia, Shariah Advisory Council (SAC)
• Coverage: ~750 Bursa Malaysia (XKLS) securities
• Schedule: Biannual (May and November)
• Methodology: SAC-Malaysia-AAOIFI-aligned screening
• Attribution: Source: Securities Commission Malaysia (SC)
• API field: shariah_status = 'compliant' | 'non_compliant'

# SC Malaysia compliant stocks
GET /v1/instruments/stock?venue=XKLS&shariah_screened=sc_malaysia

IDX ISSI — Indonesia

Excluded: FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah

Disclaimer

Halal status sourced from official regulators (SC Malaysia, OJK Indonesia). Not financial advice. Not a fatwa. Methodology disclosed. portfolIQ exposes raw regulatory classification only — no fiqh verdict. Consult a qualified Shariah scholar for religious rulings.

Excluded markets

China A-shares (XSHG / XSHE)

China A-shares are excluded in Phase 1 due to:

• HFCAA risk: Holdings of Chinese companies via VIE structures (legal ambiguity)
• PIPL/DSL: China's Personal Information Protection Law and Data Security Law restrict cross-border data flows
• Exchange redistribution: SSE/SZSE ToS prohibit commercial redistribution of raw price data

Workaround in progress: China A-shares accessible via HKEX Stock Connect delayed data (evaluated by expert-legal for Tier 0 derivation). Decision pending Sprint 35.

ASEAN OHLCV prices

Raw OHLCV prices for most ASEAN exchanges (other than derived metrics) are excluded:

• Exchange licences required for raw price redistribution
• Covered: derived consensus metrics only (where sources are Tier 0)

Timezones

All prices are stored in UTC internally. Use the local_trade_date field for session-local date filtering:

Note on XASX DST: Australia observes daylight saving time (AEDT = UTC+11 in summer, AEST = UTC+10 in winter). Close UTC shifts between 05:00 and 06:00 UTC seasonally.

Note on XTKS lunch break: Tokyo Stock Exchange has a lunch break (11:30–12:30 JST). portfolIQ ingests end-of-day (EOD) data only in Sprint 32 MVP — intraday data with lunch break handling is planned for Sprint 35+.
