Sandeep Jadwani is the Head of Investment Advisory at Habib Investment.

No actively managed stock or bond funds outperformed the market convincingly and regularly over the last five years. Index funds have generally been better 

It’s very hard to beat the stock or bond markets with any regularity. 

Each year, some investors manage to do it, of course, but can they do it consistently? A new study of actively managed mutual funds by S&P Dow Jones Indices asked that question and came up with a startling result. It found that not a single mutual fund — not one — managed to beat its benchmark in either the US stock or bond markets regularly and convincingly over the last five years. These results are even worse than those of 2014 and 2015, when I last examined this subject closely.

She joined TSB to discuss how Fog in UAE now more common because of climate change

Dr Ruqqia Mir, the Senior Consultant Neurologist from Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center, joins TSB to talk about ADSCC having performed the region’s first successful bone marrow transplant on a patient suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), highlighting Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a healthcare centre of excellence and a life sciences hub 

The significant achievement in bone marrow transplantation, performed under the Abu Dhabi Bone Marrow Transplant (AD-BMT) programme, demonstrates a major advance in cell therapy and regenerative medicine capabilities to treat a range of diseases, including cancer and immune disorders. 

Doctors at ADSCC performed the region’s first autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) on a patient with MS earlier this month and the patient has since reported an improvement in her overall condition. The treatment, developed by the ADSCC, aims to ‘reset’ a person’s immune system and can be used for those with relapsing forms of MS.
