Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the right fund?+
Define your goal (growth, income, capital preservation) and time horizon. Read the KIID for fees, risks, and historical performance. Diro's comparison surfaces funds matching your profile.
Do funds pay dividends?+
Some distribute quarterly or semi-annually (income funds); others reinvest (growth funds). This is specified in the KIID.
Public vs private funds — what's the difference?+
Public funds are open to retail investors with relatively low minimums and CMA-supervised. Private funds are restricted to qualified investors with high minimums (often SAR 1M+) under different rules.
