What's the point of even using Wahed if they invest in the local market. Even their so called "US stocks" ETF is on the local market instead of the US and have almost non-existent trading volume. You might as well DIY and save money.

Exactly, no point . Although i would consider to buy that myetf directly in KLSE if it has more activity and i-vcap is not preparing to let go of the fund management business. It is listed in KLSE but that does not mean it is investing here, that us titan 50 is inveating in US equity just that it is listed here.

If someone decide to make etf that track s&p 500 in KLSE, i will definitely snap it up unless it is not active as in the current myetf

The thing is you can buy it directly because it's listed locally so you don't need a middleman at all. Other Robos are at least buying overseas ETFs which are much harder for small time investors to purchase, which is likely the target market. The problem with such a low volume ETF in the first place is that once you want to dump it, there aren't any buyers. Which means you have trouble getting your money.

Yeah, Thats what i said. Again the us titan 50 is investing in us equity, it not a derivative. It is just listed here.

Most ETFs aren't derivatives. I just don't see the upside to using Wahed over something like SA. Personally I don't really trust Robos when they can go belly up any time since you'll be forced to realize any losses you have when it happens when they force sell your units. Just look at what happened to Smartly.

Patutla my SA fly but Wahed like no feeling ni

It's also why SA dropped the moment the US market dropped but Wahed didn't move for awhile. If you're trying to actually make money then Wahed is not your thing. I know they have US based ETFs so I have no clue why they don't give us access to those.

That is pretty good news. Both the amount and backing gives that much more credibility to Wahed's long term survival.
