About Q8 Invest

An investing-education platform for the Gulf, built around a practice account funded with virtual money.

What Q8 Invest is

Q8 Invest is a bilingual, Arabic-first investing-education platform for the GCC. Every account starts as a practice account funded with virtual money, so you can learn how orders, portfolios and fees work before ever risking real funds.

What the practice account is for

The simulator mirrors real market pricing so the experience of placing an order feels real, but no money -- yours or anyone else's -- ever moves. It is a learning tool, not a live brokerage: it does not place real trades and never will on its own.

Not personalised advice

Nothing on this site or in the practice account is personalised investment, tax or legal advice. The content is general and educational; decisions about your own money are yours to make, with your own licensed advisor if you choose to use one.

Part of that education is showing our Sharia screening approach in the open, the same way we show pricing and fees.

Sharia Screening Methodology

Absolute transparency: we display the screening source and date for every asset.

01

Core Business Screening

Excluding companies engaged in non-compliant activities like interest-based banking, alcohol, and prohibited goods.

02

Financial Ratio Screening

Screening of financial ratios using a sample list not certified or reviewed by any Sharia board.
