The Importance of Proper Diversification

Azzad Diversification Table 2000-2022

Source: Morningstar. Data as of 12/31/2021Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Each index reflects a group of unmanaged securities. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. Diversification, rebalancing and dollar cost averaging are investment strategies that cannot ensure a profit or eliminate the risks of investing. This chart is not indicative of the past, present, or future performance of any Azzad investment products.
