Abdullah Bukhari Speaks to Argaam About Asset Diversification to Reduce Investment Risks

In an interview with Argaam, Abdullah Bukhari, Deputy CEO at The Family Office International Investment Co., revealed that investors can achieve returns between 5% and 6% amid higher interest rates, but there is no guarantee that such returns can be maintained for the next five to seven years.

Regarding wealth preservation tools, Mr. Bukhari stressed the importance of investment diversification across asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and alternative investments in private companies, real estate and credit. He clarified that the optimum asset allocation is based on investment goals, time horizon and investors’ risk tolerance.

Mr. Bukhari added that asset diversification reduces investment risks because diversified portfolios are less vulnerable to sharp market fluctuations, noting that achieving returns on the long-term ensures a successful investment.

He said in this regard, “Thanks to the digital platform of The Family Office, investors now receive an asset allocation proposal within minutes.”

The stock and bond markets have been under a lot of pressure in 2022 amid sharp market volatility, Mr. Bukhari stated. He advises investors to set a short- to mid-time horizons for such investments, and to invest in private companies, real estate and private credit for the long term.

In conclusion, Mr. Bukhari stated that The Family Office adopts the principles of reliability and transparency for wealth preservation, and that in 2022, the company invested in technology companies through its offices in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the US after technology stocks came under pressure in the past year and declined between 30% and 40%.
