What the company does
Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio is not an operating company but an exchange-listed closed-end fund investing in tax-exempt municipal bonds. Money comes from bond interest.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
Business activity
Prohibited activity: Asset Management
Interest-bearing debt / market cap

Cash & investments / market cap

Non-compliant income / total revenue

Interest income $37.13M ÷ annual revenue $29.54M (2026) = 125.7%

Fail
Figures from the company's filings (2026-03-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $829.60M.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 2.0% of total assets (2026-03-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
