However, like all investments, funds carry financial risks.
Choosing a conservative, capital-protected fund with audited history is highly recommended.
Dubai is a highly stable market, but investors should be mindful of:
Extremely hot summers (up to 50°C)
Service charges/building maintenance fees in luxury towers
Exchange rate vs. their home currency (though AED is stable to USD)
Choosing only RERA-approved developers to avoid fraud
