About Nuqi
Nuqi is a digital wealth management platform based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Its app gives investors in the Gulf access to managed investment portfolios, including both conventional and Shariah-compliant options, with the aim of making professional wealth management available to a wider audience.
Traditional wealth management in the region has often been reserved for high-net-worth clients, with high minimum investments and fees. Digital platforms like Nuqi use technology to lower these barriers, allowing users to open accounts online, answer questions about their goals and risk tolerance, and receive a portfolio suited to their profile.
The Shariah-compliant element is an important differentiator. Islamic investing follows principles that exclude interest-based instruments and certain industries, and it requires screening of investments for compliance. Many Muslim investors in the Gulf want to invest in line with these principles but have had limited digital options. Offering Islamic portfolios alongside conventional ones allows Nuqi to serve both groups.
Portfolios typically combine diversified assets, such as exchange-traded funds covering global equities, fixed income or sukuk, and other asset classes, and they are rebalanced over time to stay aligned with the investor's chosen strategy.
As a platform operating from the DIFC, Nuqi works within the regulatory framework of the Dubai Financial Services Authority, which supervises financial services firms in the financial centre. Regulation is essential for any company managing client investments.
The app provides tools for tracking performance, adding funds and adjusting goals, giving investors a clear view of their wealth in one place.
The Gulf has a young, affluent and digitally engaged population, and interest in investing has grown strongly, with many residents looking for alternatives to cash savings. Digital wealth platforms have multiplied in the UAE, creating a competitive market.
Islamic finance is a major part of the UAE's financial sector, and demand for Shariah-compliant products continues to grow.
