Aijaz began his career in investment management at UBS and Morgan Stanley, where he spent five years in the Private Client Group advising high-net-worth clients on Islamic investments, hedging strategies, charitable trusts, and estate planning. In 2003, he joined Guidance Residential shortly after its founding and spent eight years helping scale it from a startup into a multi-billion-dollar Islamic home financing company, serving as Regional Manager and top producer for four consecutive years before being promoted to Vice President of Sales. He joined UIF in 2011 to lead National Sales and the firm's growth strategy and was appointed to its Board of Directors in 2013. Through his career, Aijaz has conducted more than 500 seminars and contributed numerous articles on Islamic financing. He moved from conventional investment management to Islamic finance because he saw no reason the two should operate by different standards. He has spent the years since making that case in practice, building Shariah-compliant institutions on operational rigor, community trust, and consistent access for the families they serve.
