## What is Penny?

Penny is the halal-first portfolio tracker that helps Muslim investors understand what they own — not just watch balances move.

Track stocks, ETFs, crypto, gold, real estate, RSUs, and retirement accounts in one place. Check supported stocks against AAOIFI-style rules — US and international markets by ticker — then ask Penny anything: "Is this stock halal?" "Am I too concentrated?" or "Should I rebalance?" — and get a clear answer based on your portfolio.

No bank login. No jargon. Just honest insight into what you own and what needs attention — halal eligibility, allocation drift, hidden fees, dividends, concentration risk, and tax-loss windows.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-28

Penny 1.0.4 is our biggest halal screening upgrade yet.

SMARTER HALAL VERDICTS
• A full "Halal" verdict is now backed by dated, third-party evidence — stocks are confirmed against the published daily holdings of sharia-screened funds, and you can see the source and date in the app
• New "Preliminary pass" tier: when a stock passes our measured checks but has no outside confirmation yet, we say exactly that
• Funds are recognized wherever you hold them — sharia-mandated funds show as Halal, conventional bond funds as Not Halal, and gold/silver trusts are flagged for review
• Market index pages now point to their sharia-screened alternative (S&P 500 → SPUS)

A CLEARER HALAL TAB
• The Halal screen in Market lists verified funds first, then stocks passing the preliminary screen — every row labeled with its tier

BETTER ANSWERS FROM PENNY
• Ask "Is this halal?" and Penny explains the actual screening result — the rules, ratios, and evidence behind each verdict

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Redesigned onboarding, now in 9 languages (English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Français, 日本語, 한국어, Português, 中文)
• Real price history in market charts and accurate daily-change figures on every holding
• Clearer portfolio suitability view with per-verdict counts

As always: Penny's screening is educational — not certification or a fatwa.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-11

• Zakat Calculator — nisab from the live gold price, breakdown by asset class
• Purification — estimate the dividend income to cleanse, per holding
• Three-tier halal verdicts (Halal / Review / Not Halal) with a 1–5 screening grade

What's New in 1.0.1

This is a big one. Three things you'll feel immediately:

1. SHARIA / HALAL COMPLIANCE — NOW LIVE
   Tap any US stock to see if it passes AAOIFI screening:
   industry check + debt-to-market-cap, cash ratio, receivables,
   and interest income. Each rule shows pass/fail with the actual
   number. First iOS portfolio tracker to ship live screening.

2. PENNY NOW SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
   Pick English, Turkish, German, or Spanish in Profile. Penny
   answers in that language — tickers and dollar amounts stay
   as-is. Set once, applies everywhere.

3. SMARTER UPCOMING EVENTS
   Grouped by Today / This Week / Next Week / Looking Ahead.
   Now shows dividend ex-dates and upcoming IPOs, not just
   earnings and Fed meetings. Color-coded by event type.

ALSO NEW
• Browse the full S&P 500 in the market hub (was 163 stocks)
• "Halal" filter alongside Stocks / Crypto / ETFs
• Typewriter reveal in Ask Penny — easier to read along

FIXES
