While you certainly could buy the securities suggested by Wahed directly through your broker/dealer, you may not be able to get them all at the same time in a cost-effective and efficient manner. In addition, some brokers may require a high minimum investment to open an account. Wahed also monitors and periodically rebalances your portfolio for no additional cost.

With Wahed, you can also fund your account free of charge (may depend on your bank) and also place a withdrawal or deposit request at any time.
