Beginner tips

  • Start with robo-advisors — they pick funds for you
  • ETFs are cheaper than actively managed funds
  • Diversify across asset classes (stocks + bonds + gold)
  • Halal investors: use Wahed or Sarwa Islamic
  • UAE stocks: need NIN (National Investor Number) from SCA
  • Crypto is high risk — never invest more than you can lose
