Wahed Process
Wahed provides Clients with financial advice that is based on the Nobel Prize winning Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). We select proportions of various asset classes rather than individual securities to attempt to maximize a portfolio’s expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return. We use Mean Variance Optimization to evaluate every possible combination of the following asset classes: US equities, foreign developed markets equities, emerging markets equities, real estate, commodities and fixed income funds. In addition, we continually review the population of all Shariah-compliant securities, giving preference to ETFs, in order to identify the most appropriate securities to represent each asset class.
ETF Selection Disclosure
We invest our client’s money in ETFs as they help us reduce the unnecessary overheads. Our ETFs selection process is aimed primarily to select those ETFs which can provide the desired asset class exposure with the lease tracking error. Although our selection process identifies the most liquid ETFs with low expenses, there is no guarantee that these ETFs will perform well in the future.
All the securities included in our portfolio are 100% Shariah-compliant. Wahed never invests in companies that derive more than 5% of their revenue from business activities like:
- Providing non-Islamic financial services and any other related interest services
- Manufacturers/sellers of products or services not approved by the Islamic principles (i.e. liquor, tobacco, gambling, pork, etc.)
- Producers and distributors of music, radio, films and television shows
Clients should be aware that in some limited instances, the ethically Complaint ETFs may have hidden expenses which may reduce its value and affect the portfolio's performance.
Performance Disclosures
Performance information is presented net of all management fees, commissions and expenses unless indicated otherwise. For all periods, the performance information includes the reinvestment of dividends and interest unless otherwise noted.
Any comparison to traditional investment advisors is based on an evaluation of average fees and returns. Actual results may be different for each investor and there can be no guarantee of enhanced earnings due to additional diversification, managed account selection or the use of Wahed’s services. Projected or hypothetical performance is intended to show only an expected range of possible investment outcomes based on historical average returns and a standard deviation of each investment type contained in the investment plan recommended by Wahed’s, but does not take into consideration the effect of taxes, changing risk profiles or future investment decisions. Projected and hypothetical performance does not represent actual accounts or actual trades and may not reflect the effect of material economic and market factors. The actual transaction costs in Client accounts may be different.
Actual investors with Wahed’s may experience different results from any hypothetical results shown. There is a potential for loss as well as gain that is not reflected in the hypothetical information portrayed. The hypothetical performance results shown do not represent the results of actual trading using client assets but were achieved by means of the retroactive application of a model designed with the benefit of hindsight. Investors should carefully review the additional information presented by Wahed as part of any hypothetical comparison.
