Someone recently sent us their portfolio in a panic.
Down on the day. Down for the week. Cue the stress, the doom scrolling, the “should I sell everything” spiral.
So we zoomed out. One month? Up.
One year? Up nicely.
This is the reality of investing in appreciating assets. The short-term noise feels enormous when you’re staring at red numbers, but step back and the picture usually looks very different. Markets wobble daily. That’s the job description.
In this video we talk about why zooming out matters, how short-term emotional reactions destroy long-term returns, and why every serious investor needs two things before they put a penny in: a framework and a plan.
A framework tells you what you’re investing in and why. A plan tells you what to do when markets move (and they will move). Together, they’re the difference between investing and gambling with extra steps.
If you find yourself checking your portfolio every day, this one’s for you.

Investing Islamically - Learn to invest the halal way
24/03/2026
We built the Nisba Academy because people asked us how to understand halal investing.
We don’t start with funds or stock picks
We start with the foundations and build properly from there
Step 1: Get your finances in order (emergency fund, goals, risk)
Step 2: Understand your options (what’s actually halal and why)
Step 3: Build your asset allocation
Step 4: Choose the right accounts (ISA, pension, etc)
Step 5: Learn how to actually invest
Step 6: Maintain it properly (zakat, rebalancing, staying consistent)
If you’ve been meaning to start but haven’t yet
This is probably what you’ve been missing
Next Nisba Academy cohort starting soon
