OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTMENT IN UAE

5. INVEST IN BONDS

Risk: High

Returns: Extremely Low

This is the worst investment opportunity in the lot & I would not recommend you to put your money in bonds.

There is high risk involved & as observed in the last few years, huge losses were incurred by many people.  And, even if you decide to invest here, and are lucky enough to not bear losses, the yields would still not be satisfactory.

4. INVEST IN STOCKS

Risk: Medium

Returns: Extremely High

This is a way better option than bonds. Although, like any other business it involves risk. However many have witnessed high returns over the course of the last 4 decades.

Is UAE the right place to invest in Stocks? Or is your own country better? 

The best stocks are those of American firms that have a presence in almost all the countries in the world. Be it UAE or outside, one should always invest in tried and tested firms and markets if one doesn’t have deep knowledge about the stock market.

Where to invest in UAE?

Real Estate in UAE is divided into 2 parts – FREEHOLD and FREEZONE.

In simplest terms, freehold means residential property, and Freezone indicates property set out for running a business.

And out of these two, your first consideration to invest should be in a freezone property due to multiple reasons like,

• No corporate tax
• Hassle-free admin services
