Launching Auto-invest!

Auto-Invest is designed to help investors quickly and efficiently allocate their funds to available, investment opportunities in a hassle-free manner. 

What is Auto Invest?

Auto Invest will allow investors to choose from two different investment strategies: The Balanced Strategy and the Conservative Strategy. Each strategy offers different returns and risk levels, so investors can choose the one that best fits their investment goals and risk tolerance.

The Balanced Strategy offers returns of 11-13% per annum. This strategy is ideal for investors who are looking for a balance of returns and risk. The algorithm will invest your funds in a diversified portfolio of 10-20 A & B rated businesses, capping your exposure per business to 10% or less.

Let's say you invest AED 100,000 at 13% per year for 12 months in a portfolio of 20 businesses. This means that your exposure per business will be roughly 5%. Given the portfolio performs as expected you will receive monthly installments amounting to 113,000 in 12 months. Even if one company fails, your capital will remain intact, and you'll still earn a 7.35% profit instead of the projected 13%. Diversifying your investments protects your capital, and based on our past three years of performance, it is unlikely that more than one business will fully default in each portfolio.

The Conservative Strategy offers returns of 8-11% per annum. This strategy is ideal for investors who are looking for low-risk investments and prioritize capital preservation over returns. Our algorithm will invest your funds in only A-rated businesses, which are generally guaranteed by a financial guarantee from a government entity.

For example, Sharjah Media City offers a full financial guarantee, covering the principal as well as the profit. If you invest AED 100,000 at 9% per year for 12 months, you should receive monthly payments totaling 109,000. If the business defaults, Sharjah Media City will repay any outstanding amount that is owed to you. We are proud to be in this partnership and we believe it is one of the best fixed-income investment deals available.
