You should be able to do the same by following these two simple steps,

1. Take 75% of the total amount you want to put into this scheme into a high yielding fixed deposit scheme with any major like CBQ.

2. The remaining 25%,invest in equities yourself.

If the markets do well, you will make much more than you will with the notes, if the markets fare very badly, you will still have earned interest on the fixed deposit to offset the 25% loss on your equity investment portfolio.

QNB Note is an investment product where the Capital is Guaranteed - so at the end of the investment period you are at least guaranteed your initial investment. The investment is linked to the performance of the Qatar Stock Exchange over the next 2 years. Obviously nobody knows how the stock market will do but I am pretty confident that over the next 2 years the investment should do better than the return on a Fixed Deposit inshallah!
So if you have an investment strategy that involves equities then this product has got little downside - principal guaranteed so if all else fails - its just the opportunity cost on the money for 2 years - versus the upside of the Qatar Stock Market.
Dont need to be an Einstein to figure this one out....

my two bits are,,that min. investment is Qar. 20 k for a tenor of 2 years. if u put 20 k in bank, u get max. 6% per annum..

I think, that in two years. QE will give u at least return of 6% p.a keeping in view, the QE at around 7300 nowadyas..

The worst scenario is that u will get your 20 k back after 2 years..

HAving invested directly in QE directly, i had burnt my hands. however, i still am in favour of QNB NOTE 1, due to its timings. As QE is still not gone too high.
