Investing - SABB -Mutual Funds (HSBC)

I'm also Interested, I'll be there in a month and I started researching about it.
- My initial search was not very clear of the legalities of it in terms of fees and final profit.
- I also found that KSA has now cryptocurrency ATM where you can handle in cash and it gets transferred to your account then you can invest in different markets.

I'll post here any updates.

yeah. My initial search was also not that clear.. But m keep Looking for websites and articals..

Mutual funds, especially the ones that are being managed by SABB/HSBC are not registered on Tadawul.  These are usually all offshore.  You don't need to be registered with Tadawul to hold these.

As far as investments go in this part of the world, i would always recommend to anyone to invest offshore - basically in the channel islands and if you have a lot of money, then Singapore offshore.   

There are a lot of companies like Generali / Zurich as well as financial advisers who can set up these investments for you.

Personally, I am not a believer in mutual funds and I have investment experience in these spanning decades - both as an individual and also from corporate work side.  When you read the fine print carefully and factor in all of the fund management fees (taken out of your investment on regular basis in units), the return is much less than what you would get if you had invested in an index fund or ETF directly (very low fees).

What is offshore/ channel island please elaborate how to find? What web site or any broker contacts if you have please provide...
