Mohammad Tarek said that not all people have the same ability to take risks. Some can take more risk and some can take less. So not all investors are the same. From here, fixed income securities can be a good investment option. Because the risk is relatively low.

ETF is a product more like a mutual fund. Moreover, Sukuk bonds have come into the market, Treasury bills are doing quite well because the government’s financing needs are high. Treasury bills have also created a good investment opportunity.
