since you are new to this but you have low risk appetite but with high risk capacity. (a lot of cash at young age).....

go SLOW and be aware of global economic changes.

May the FORCE be with you.

sorry, I may be wrong, for I did not follow this thread ...
many times I noticed forummers postings their risk preference 36% or something like that....

if there is this risk preference numbers.... I think there is FI portion inside the port....
unless if can select risk preference to the max?

are you having the same $$ value in each of the portfolio?
are you planning to move between the 2 portfolio following the market trends and sentiment or are you planning to just leave that 2 portfolio to run on auto pilot mode?

with that,...then why want 2?

from their website...
Can I change the portfolio composition or the asset allocation within my portfolio?
Inside a portfolio, you can only adjust the composition of your portfolio for a goal by adjusting the recommended risk/return target level.
You cannot change the individual ETFs inside a portfolio because our algorithms select them and design the portfolio allocation based on your risk preferences.

to me, you would be fine too if you just go with the allocation as you had mentioned in another thread
you now have 10k in crypto and 150k cash at hand
if you just go in the same amount at 10k in SA
you will just have about 6% of your cash at hand in SA
if this SA dropped 10% (as happened last 2 weeks),
you entered (maybe not at lowest price), and you happens to "catch a falling knife"
if the SA drops another 20% after you purchased it....
your 10k would have lost 2k
you ONLY lose 1.2% of your cash in hand

this lost of 2k or 1.2% of your cash is when the total Drops of SA is 10%+20% = 30% (possibility of this to happens?)
if you CANNOT tahan or prepared to take a lost of 2k or 1.2% of your cash at hand...
may I suggest you really review your risk appetite again before embarking into SA, Wahed or other EQ investing, especially at the current volatile markets...
.... for you have been in a comfort zone of hoarding 94% of your cash in your hand for some times..

with the ratio of your employed bullets....
just 6% invested while 94% cash at hand....
I would not say your risk appetite is high...

I would say "your risk appetite is very low but your risk capacity is very high"

anyway high or low, does not matters as long as your are happy with what you are doing....your money, your call, ultimately only you yourself can be liable to your own emotional happiness.
you reap what you sow.

Why US stock trading took a 15-minute break this morning

It's basically an automatic breather to try and calm market.
There are three levels:
Level 1, when there's a 7% decrease – 15 minute halt
Level 2, when there's a 13% decrease – 15 minute halt
Level 3, when there's a 20% decrease – the market closes for the day

U.S. Stock Bear Markets and Their Subsequent Recoveries

Bear markets are defined as periods when the stock market declines by 20% or more from the highest point to its subsequent lowest point.
From 1900–2014, there were 32 bear markets. Statistically, they occur about once every 3.5 years and last an average of 367 days.

Despite the occurrences of bear markets, markets typically have been up more than they have been down throughout history.
From 1950 through 2018, for example, the S&P 500 was on 53.7% of days and down 46.3% of days, and the number of up days exceeded the number of down days in every decade.

read up few pages back....yes there are forummers mentioning that they did top up during this current "bad' time

so the variant is just abt 1% and not 27% actual ROI returns variance?
(if of the similar risk level or FI:EQ ratio between SAMY & Wahed as posted?)

wow,...good observation and research.....

refer to the 2008 scenario, do you want to ride the recovery wave or stay on recovered, stagnant normal wave?
depends on how good a swimmer you are, thus refer to how good your preparedness before getting in the current wavey waters.

There is no numerically specific definition of a stock market crash
but the term commonly applies to steep double-digit percentage losses in a stock market index over a period of several days.

Crashes are often distinguished from bear markets by panic selling and abrupt, dramatic price declines.
Bear markets are periods of declining stock market prices that are measured in months or years.

Crashes are often associated with bear markets, however, they do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Black Monday (1987), for example, did not lead to a bear market.
Likewise, the Japanese bear market of the 1990s occurred over several years without any notable crashes.

Crashes are generally unexpected.
As Niall Ferguson stated, "Before the crash, our world seems almost stationary, deceptively so, balanced, at a set point. So that when the crash finally hits — as inevitably it will — everyone seems surprised. And our brains keep telling us it’s not time for a crash.

I think if you don't sell...only paper loss....
unless you need to generate profits to pay for the "loan" taken to buy into the game

google and found this....
hope it is what you seek...

read posting and replies to postings from page 219,....
there could be a reason for such a BIG variance....

read posting from page 219,...there is a chart...
allocation is dependent on the selected risk level....

OT...
just for your perusal....
seems like no drastic changes
