Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum to invest in Saudi stocks?+

You can start with SAR 1,000 or less at most brokers. There's no formal minimum to buy on Tadawul, but fixed commissions make very small trades inefficient.

Do I need prior investing experience?+

No. Digital brokers like Sahm and Derayah offer ready-made portfolios (ETFs) managed by experts — fine for beginners. For direct stock-picking, research the company first.

Is stock investing Shariah-compliant?+

Some stocks are compliant (companies that don't deal in riba or prohibited activities). Most Saudi brokers offer a Shariah filter and the CMA publishes the list of compliant companies.
