The processing of the allocation may require processing time, and you understand that the allocation of these funds may be subject to market conditions and operational timelines.

15.3. Yield Expectation
15.3.1. Projected yields are indicative and subject to market conditions. Actual returns may vary, and any yield figures provided are not guaranteed.. However, the yield projections are based on historical data and current market trends, and we do not guarantee by any means your attainment of any profits in case you invest your money with us.
15.3.2. While we strive to provide accurate and reliable yield projections, it is important to understand that these projections are inherently speculative and subject to change based on a variety of factors beyond our control. Market conditions, including fluctuations in economic indicators, interest rates, and geopolitical events, can significantly impact the performance of your investments. As such, the actual returns you may experience could be lower or higher than the projected yields.
15.3.3. Additionally, the performance of your Investment Portfolio is influenced by the specific Investment Instruments selected, the timing of trades, and the overall market environment. Different asset classes, such as stocks, sukuk, mutual funds, gold, silver, real estate, and fixed income, carry varying levels of risk and potential return. Diversification strategies, while designed to mitigate risk, cannot eliminate it entirely, and there is always the possibility of loss.
15.3.4. We emphasize that past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical data and current market trends used to generate yield projections are based on assumptions that may not hold true in the future. Market volatility, economic downturns, and other unforeseen events can adversely affect the value of your investments. Therefore, it is crucial to approach these projections with an understanding of their limitations and inherent uncertainties.
15.3.5. Furthermore, we encourage you to consider your risk tolerance, investment objectives, and financial situation before making investment decisions. Our yield projections are intended to provide a general overview and should not be construed as a guarantee of specific outcomes.
15.4. Investment Plan Activation Disclaimer
15.4.1. Activating or changing your financial goals at a later stage can significantly affect the outcome and progress towards those goals. If you wish to achieve your Investment Plan by a date other than the one initially chosen, the projections and yield expectations will necessarily differ. This is due to the inherent changes in market conditions, investment horizons, and the time required to achieve the desired financial objectives.
15.4.2. When you request a change to the timing of your Investment Plan, we will update the projections and strategies accordingly. This involves a reassessment of the market conditions, potential investment opportunities, and the risk profile associated with the new timeline. It is essential to understand that these updated projections are based on the then-current market trends and historical data, which may not accurately predict future performance. As such, yield expectations and the overall performance of your investments may vary from the initial projections.
15.4.3. The Company reserves the right to adjust these yield expectations and investment strategies in accordance with the new timeline you have chosen. These adjustments are made to optimize the performance of your portfolio and align with the revised financial goals. However, it is important to acknowledge that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Market volatility, economic shifts, and other unforeseen events can influence the actual returns you may experience.
15.4.4. By opting to modify the timing of your Investment Plan, you accept that the updated projections are subject to the same uncertainties and risks inherent in financial markets. The revised expectations are designed to provide a realistic outlook based on the new investment horizon, but they do not guarantee specific outcomes or profits. It is crucial to consider your risk tolerance, investment objectives, and overall financial situation when making such changes.
15.5. Risk Awareness Policy
15.5.1. Investments are subject to various risks. We categorize the risks connected to each investment that you may be interested in with labels such as; (i) low, (ii) medium, and (iii) high.

Consequently, you agree to hold us harmless from any losses or damages that may arise from your investment decisions.
15.6. Market Risk
15.6.1. While we commit to managing your invested funds diligently and in strict accordance with the Investment Plan you have agreed upon in the Portfolio Agreement, it is imperative to acknowledge that inherent market risks exist which can significantly impact the value of your investments. These market risks arise from various factors including, but not limited to, fluctuations in economic conditions, changes in interest rates, geopolitical events, and shifts in market sentiment. Such factors can cause volatility in the financial markets, leading to potential decreases in the value of your investments. Our strategic approach aims to navigate these market conditions effectively; however, the unpredictable nature of the market means that the performance of your investments may not always align with initial expectations or projections.
15.6.2. Moreover, it is important to understand that despite our thorough management and adherence to your Investment Plan, Yield is not guaranteed. The financial markets are influenced by a multitude of complex and interrelated factors that can affect the performance of various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment instruments. While diversification and strategic asset allocation are employed to mitigate some of these risks, they cannot eliminate the possibility of loss entirely. External events such as economic downturns, political instability, and technological disruptions can have adverse effects on market performance and, consequently, on your investment returns. You are encouraged to consider these risks and maintain realistic expectations regarding the potential outcomes of your investment strategy. Our objective is to manage your investments with the highest degree of professionalism and care, but it is crucial for you to recognize that the financial markets' inherent uncertainties can lead to both gains and losses.
15.6.3. In light of the above, we expressly disclaim any responsibility for any losses that you may incur as a result of your investments.

The liquidation policy is designed to provide flexibility while maintaining the integrity and strategic objectives of your Investment Plan.
15.7.2. You may be entitled to request through the Platform the liquidation of your Managed Assets by serving us with a written notice through the section designated for this purpose on the Platform. Upon receipt of your written notice, our team will promptly acknowledge your request and initiate the necessary steps to process the liquidation (the “Liquidation Request”). Your request will be attended to based on your choice of either a partial liquidation or a complete liquidation of your Managed Assets. If you elect to (i) partially liquidate your Managed Funds, your request will be attended to within two (2) Business Days, and (ii) if you elect to assume the complete liquidation of your Managed Assets, your request will be processed, and we will do our best endeavors to liquidate all the investments within due period based on the market’s circumstances. During the said timelines, we will review and verify the details of your request to ensure compliance with all relevant procedures, regulatory requirements, and any prohibitions that may be promulgated by the competent authorities.
15.7.3. The variability in the liquidation timeline is influenced by several factors specific to the different types of Investment Instruments, and in accordance with the diagram below:
Type of Investment Instrument Factors Affecting Liquidation Liquidation Timeline
Stocks
may require a longer liquidation period due to market volatility and liquidity constraints. The ability to sell stocks at a favorable price may depend on market demand, trading volumes, and the current economic climate, which can all affect the time required to complete the transaction N/A
Sukuk
The market demand for sukuk can all influence the speed at which these instruments can be liquidated N/A
Mutual Funds
Mutual funds typically have specific redemption policies and cut-off times that must be adhered to when processing liquidation requests. The timeline for liquidating mutual fund investments may also depend on the fund's underlying assets and the frequency with which the fund processes redemptions, which can range from daily to monthly intervals. Further, the liquidation of investments in a mutual fund can trigger certain consequences based on the prospectus of each respective mutual fund.
Gold and Silver
The liquidation process may be affected by current market prices and the demand for physical gold or gold-based financial products. The time required to sell gold assets may vary based on the form in which the gold is held. N/A
Real Estate
Investments often have a more extended liquidation timeline due to the nature of the asset class. Selling real estate properties involves additional steps such as property valuation, finding potential buyers, and completing legal and regulatory requirements, all of which can prolong the liquidation process.
Fixed Income
Instruments, such as bonds, may face liquidation delays based on interest rate fluctuations and market conditions. The ease of selling bonds can be influenced by the bond's credit rating, maturity date, and prevailing interest rates, which can affect the bond's market value and attractiveness to potential buyers 1 Business Day
15.7.4. In light of the abovementioned factors and timelines, if the Liquidation Request was positively attended to, and your Managed Assets were duly liquidated, you need to be aware that there is a cap on the liquidation of your Managed Assets. Specifically, if the liquidation process results in liquidating more than twenty (20%) of the total Managed Assets, we will not proceed with the liquidation without further discussion with you. In such cases, our investment management team will engage with you to discuss this issue. This policy is designed to protect your investments and ensure that liquidation decisions are made prudently and in alignment with your Investment Plan.
15.7.5. As soon as your Managed Assets become liquid, we will promptly notify you that the cash is available for you to receive within [2] Business Days. This notification will be sent through the Platform and any other communication channels you have provided in your Portfolio Agreement, ensuring that you are aware of the availability of your funds.
