Introducing Our Model Portfolio | 2-year performance betters 5-year MSCI World Islamic Index

I have built a model portfolio for the last 6 years that has produced a 25+% CAGR.

The iShares MSCI World Islamic UCITS ETF has returned -9.37% in 2018 vs our +9.1% for a difference of +18.47% in 2018.  Over a longer period, 5 years, MSCI produced only a cumulative return of 26.38%.  Meaning if you invested $100 at the end of 5 years you would have had $126.38.  In all 2 year periods except one the model portfolio has outperformed the 5-year return of  iShares MSCI World Islamic UCITS ETF - in 2-year our model portfolio has made more than the ETF has in 5-years !

Some highlights that are noteworthy
1. The lack of correlation to the market, meaning the portfolio does not move in step with the market.
2. The securities purchased that account for 80% of the portfolio are large businesses.  They provide global diversification and reduced risk
3. We have held several of our top 10 securities for 5+ years, we are not chasing what is on the Wall Street menu

Grand Medina Resort

Grand Medina Nature Reserve & Beach Resort https://www.owngrandmedina.com/ Are your intrigued by The Grand Medina Nature Reserve and Beach Resort investment opportunity, which is being billed as “THE FIRST MUSLIM FAMILY-FRIENDLY RESORT IN THE AMERICAS”? We evaluated it as primarily an investment and secondly as to Islamic values, and our opinions can be broadly categorized into the following four themes: What constitutes Muslim family friendly How halal is the investment opportunity Are there really “No additional costs such as maintenance, property or insurance fees” for the first 1200 purchasers. Is this a good investment In summary, while we may visit the Grand Medina Resort, we would not be investors. Given the additional costs we uncovered, and the capped return versus the development risk, we personally did not find that this investment fit our requirements. To those at Grand Medina Resort, if you find any error in our evaluation, please do comment and p...
