So where do I start...
Start with an investment goal what do you want to achieve & by
when?

Invest various proportions of your money into the Amana Shilling


Fund, Balanced Fund & Growth Fund as a way of optimizing your portfolios risk vs. desired returns

We all desire high returns with minimal risk but ALL investment choices involve a trade-off between risk and
return.

A higher % investment in the Amana Growth Fund generally increases risk but also increases the probability of a higher return. A higher % investment in the Amana Shilling Fund & Amana Balanced Fund will reduce risk and likely result in a similarly reduced return
