Dear Friends, A full month has passed, and I’d like to take a moment to share with you the recent performance of my investment portfolio, as well as some key insights into the current market landscape. Over the past two months, the markets have been going through a period of significant turbulence. This has especially affected large-cap stocks, with many major companies seeing declines of 15% to 35%. My own portfolio experienced an 8.8% drop this month — however, thanks to a clear and disciplined strategy, we have managed to maintain a strong position despite the volatility. So, what’s been impacting the markets? First, it's the investor fear and overall uncertainty, which always shake short-term confidence. In addition, the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have added pressure on global trade dynamics. But remember — Americans are smart strategists. These moves are part of broader tactics to create leverage in negotiations, benefiting the U.S. economy in the long run. More sales from U.S. companies means higher profits, which eventually attract more investors. That’s why I anticipate a strong rebound in Q3 and Q4 of 2025. Now, your role as an investor is simple: At the beginning of every month, once you receive your salary, allocate a portion to your investment account. Stick to the plan we discussed earlier this year. Don’t be afraid — even if your portfolio drops by 30%, remember: the market always corrects itself. Also, I want to remind you that the portfolio I manage contains Shariah-compliant stocks, which gives me extra confidence to invest consistently. To me, every investment feels like laying a brick in a future building — solid and rewarding. Stay strong, stay consistent, and focus on building your wealth over time. Your friend, Saif Alnaqbi april-2025
