Wahed Invest LLC - Performance Calculator Disclosures

The results generated by the Performance Calculator tool represent hypothetical performance. These results do not reflect the actual performance of any client account or portfolio managed by Wahed Invest LLC ("Wahed") and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. Hypothetical performance is inherently limited and does not account for certain market conditions or risks that may impact actual results.

The tool evaluates historical performance for specific portfolios that are exclusively offered by Wahed. We believe our portfolios are the ideal choice for our clients because each one is composed of assets screened to meet rigorous standards of Shariah-compliance, while being precisely tailored to deliver optimal returns based on our clients’ selected risk profiles. These portfolios were selected to provide examples of potential outcomes based on the criteria, assumptions and limitations outlined in the ‘Tool Methodology’ section below. The tool does not include all possible investment options or portfolios, just those that Wahed has made available to its clients. Other investments not considered may have characteristics similar or superior to those being analyzed.

The KraneShares Wahed Alternative Income Index ETF (KWIN) is included in certain portfolio allocations.  Performance for this fund was back-tested  using its benchmark index (the Wahed Shariah Alternative Income Index (WHDINC)1) in hypothetical circumstances to estimate how it may have performed prior to its actual existence. The results obtained from "back-testing" information should not be considered indicative of the actual results that will be obtained from an investment or account. The Firm provides no assurance or guarantee that the portfolios or funds linked to the strategy will operate or would have operated in the past in a manner consistent with these materials. The hypothetical historical levels have inherent limitations.
Alternative simulations, techniques, modeling or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the simulated returns presented.

The performance results displayed by this tool are presented net of fees.

The tool calculates hypothetical results based on historical data and user-provided inputs (e.g., initial investment amount, risk level, and time horizon). Investing involves risks, including the loss of principal. Hypothetical performance does not reflect actual trading or the impact of market conditions and is subject to significant limitations.

‍

Results may vary with each use and over time as hypothetical performance data is updated monthly with the most recent historical performance data adjusted based on the methodology described below. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will achieve its stated objectives.

Past performance data, where referenced, is not predictive of future results and does not guarantee any specific investment outcomes.

Tool Methodology - Assumptions & Limitations

The tool allows users to customize their risk profile by inputting a starting investment amount, time horizon, and self-assessed risk tolerance; however, this approach is limited because users' subjective assessments may not accurately capture their true risk capacity or align with their long-term financial goals, potentially leading to portfolio recommendations that may not be optimal for their actual financial situation.

The tool’s historical performance and projections assume:
● For each month the user is invested, the investment is compounded by the prior month's ending amount for his selected strategy; however, this approach does not capture intra-month volatility or any mid-month transactions that could affect actual returns.
● Every month the fee is deducted based on the starting amount for the month and this method does not take into account  fluctuations within the month or any additional contributions or withdrawals that would alter the fee base.
  o The fee is based on the actual fee schedule. A fee schedule is defined as a document that clearly explains what services or actions will cost you money, how much you’ll be charged, and when those charges will apply. This assumes the fee schedule remains unchanged over time and may not account for future adjustments or variations in the fee calculation.
   o The fee changes if the investment grows from one bracket to the next (an investment will switch to a new bracket when the investment amount equals or exceeds $100,000)

● The ending amount is equal to the starting amount plus the return, minus any fees. This simplified formula does not account for the potential compounding impact of fees or other real-world factors like taxes or irregular cash flows.
‍
● The ending amount becomes the starting amount for the next month and so on. This assumes no intra-month activity, which may not reflect actual investment behavior. ● The tool does not account for investments made during the month. Consequently, additional contributions or withdrawals are ignored, potentially resulting in performance outcomes that differ from an investor’s true experience.
‍
● The selected risk profile is the same for the entire period; the tool does not account for allocation adjustments, neither automated nor ad hoc. This static approach may not reflect changes in market conditions or shifts in an investor's risk tolerance over time.

No performance information derived from the tool should be taken as a recommendation. No Advisory Relationship: Use of this tool does not constitute an advisory relationship with Wahed. Individuals are encouraged to consult with a qualified investment professional regarding their specific financial situation and goals.

Wahed’s investment advice is made available to clients through its digital application.
