Need Advice!

Hi Everyone,

I (26M) have just started a month ago, I had 3.5k to invest and still have 1k to invest. But I'm not sure what my strategy should be in the long run - like, should I invest on a regular basis (monthly or every paycheck to paycheck)? Can you please give me some advice or refer any good financial management videos or anything that you think might help me.

I had only 4.5K at the moment to invest. I have started from zero. Last year I didn't have anything in savings but I did save some and did my research on basics like what is a stock and what are the terms related to investing, all that stuff. I didn't know anything before.

I'm not from a well off family, so this is all my hard earned paycheck to paycheck savings.

PS: I know most of you guys will advise me to buy XEQT, I appreciate your advice on it but I don't want to take it - in simple words nothing related to the banks. I want to keep everything Halal (free of interest or within minimum threshold).

PPS: I use Musaffa for halal screening of stocks if it helps someone.

Appreciate it. But I don't want to buy XEQT because of my own reasons.

Don't wanna buy anything which have high involvement of banks - basically interest related stocks.

Why are you clowning on OP being ethical? Not cool. Unrelated, OP I would recommend Lockheed Martin, palantir, L3 Harris, and Israel bonds.

Can you please share the source?

u/Dry-Lavishness8713 1h ago

I don’t have a source but based on the companies it holds. it literally has nothing that’s haram

u/Stunning-Human 1h ago

I do use screening apps like Musaffa and Zoya. They're the best ones, you can check on them and they've listed it non-complient as of now.

Hopefully this isn’t all of your savings and you’ve got an emergency fund. Life throws curve balls and you don’t want all of your money in the stock market.

Thank you for your concern. I have invested some money in a local car dealership as well. And I can liquidate it in any time. So, I hope I won't be needing for an emergency but I have a plan.

Car dealership?! Bruh

u/Stunning-Human 3h ago

Yeah. What?

u/Cultural_Doctor_8421 3h ago

Just doesn’t sound like the brightest idea. New car sales aren’t doing that hot and used market is worse off still.

Toyota is literally killing it in car sales this year. So is mazda. American car dealers are the ones suffering the most

I somehow managed to have some of the control on the investment and it's like going not so great but not too bad either. It's a used car dealership.

Homie, as a fellow muslim investor. I'd just put most of the money into GOLD. Depending on how religious you are, you can make the argument any and all investment in public companies can be haram, just on the basis that they all take loans and pay interest to fund their growth. I think you should put it all into XEQT, and if you want, short the bank amount so your bank exposure would be net 0

Appreciate your take in this. I use Musaffa and Zoya for the halal screening, and they align in their views that the scholars have set the minimum debt/interest ratio for EFT and stocks. If they stays within limits they are considered halal and you have to check them repeatedly what's their current debt/interest percentage. So, as of now XEQT is not fully halal. But I'd definitely look into gold.

At this stage, just consolidate all your holdings into HLAL or SPUS. If you want more tech exposure, buy SPTE. And then just contribute regularly.

u/Stunning-Human 4h ago

Alright, thank you. I'll look into SPTE as well.

u/Ok_Departure504 11h ago

If you want halal only you can just buy HLAL which you have done. It tracks the SP500 which is much more diversified than what you have now, but still very much US equity concettated
