Apologies for late response, was conducting thorough study with fund manager on the investment proposal, below is what I could understand,

Good Evening Suhail,
please find clarification to the following

  1. How and what does Zurich or MetLife benefit from my investment incase I go with these fund managers ?
    Ans :
  • illustration includes profit fees no additional fees,
  1. Where they will invest my funds and in what form (any possible list of funds)
    Ans :
    *1) **HSBC Islamic Global Equity Index LU2233258073
  1. Emirates Global Sukuk Fund* LU1654397162
  2. Franklin Technology* * LU0976566736
  1. Will they invest in thier own insurance or any other third part insurance
    Ans: Their own insurance fund *

Zurich and metlife act as fund managers/mediators whereby they invest funds in other stocks and provide protection through thier insurance funds or other islamic insurers based in UAE. since it’s long term fixed monthly investment and locked for certain number of years, returns would be shared post lock in period

What is your opinion on this sheikh ?
