Why Do Many Avoid Investing? Fear of the Unknown Holds You Back

5 minutes are required to read the topic
background

In the world of investing, it’s not only risk that deters beginners, but fear of the unknown and insufficient knowledge. We distrust what we don’t understand—and when we don’t grasp how markets or investment tools work, we hesitate to take the plunge. In this guide, we’ll explain how investment illiteracy causes many to pause, then introduce two Dinar solutions to clear your path with confidence: the moderate-risk Saudi Equity Fund and virtually risk-free Cash Dinar.

How Lack of Knowledge Builds a Fear Barrier

  • Opaque jargon: Terms like “volatility” and “compound returns” seem intimidating without clear explanations.
  • High-profile loss stories: One bad headline can overshadow hundreds of success stories.
  • No hands-on experience: Complex platforms prevent you from trying things yourself, so you stall before you even start.

Laying the Foundation with Simplified Knowledge—No Expertise Needed

Before making any investment decision, all you need is a basic understanding of each tool and its risk level. Through safe experimentation and step-by-step learning, this approach breaks down the wall of fear and paves a clear road to success:

Dinar Saudi Equity Fund—Moderate Risk, Strong Returns

Managed by Morgan Stanley experts, this fund has delivered over 1000% total return since 2009, averaging more than 16% per year. It focuses on Saudi Arabia’s leading companies with calculated risk controls and regular rebalancing, giving you a secure way to enter the stock market and participate in long-term growth.

Cash Dinar On-Demand—Near-Zero Risk, Instant Liquidity

Start with just SAR 1,000 and earn 5–5.3% annually, with the freedom to deposit or withdraw at any time. It’s perfect for those who want to “invest” without worrying about market swings or capital loss.

The Real Risk Is Standing Still

Having grasped the tools and their risks, the real question remains: Where does true risk lie? Not in market fluctuations or short-term price drops, but in staying put and clinging to a false sense of security. By delaying or hesitating, you forfeit the chance to benefit from compound interest and miss your launch window.

The genuine risk is remaining in your comfort zone—believing your money is “safe” in a savings account—while watching potential growth slip away. Every moment you wait widens the gap between you and your financial goals, and that gap cannot be closed by time alone.

To break this barrier, all it takes is a small step today: deposit your first SAR 1,000 into Cash Dinar or invest in the Saudi Equity Fund at moderate risk. This initial move transforms fear of the unknown into your first step toward real wealth building.

The Wealthy’s Path to Building Fortunes

Don’t hesitate to take your first investing step; most wealthy individuals began with modest amounts and strong determination. Investing opened the door to sustained growth through compound returns and diversified strategies, rather than waiting for a “perfect sum” or fearing short-term market swings.
