At a glance
Liv offers trading in UAE equities listed on the Dubai Financial Market and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, with no commission charged by Liv itself. There are no international markets, no funds and no fractional shares. The account is a way to hold UAE listed companies from the Liv app, not a general brokerage; exposure beyond UAE equities requires a separate provider.
There is no account maintenance fee. The AED 5,000 minimum applies per order.
Who can open it
A wealth portfolio is opened from inside an existing Liv relationship rather than on its own, so the Liv Primary Account comes first and its AED 3,000 minimum balance applies regardless of what the portfolio holds. A portfolio left idle still sits on top of an account that charges AED 26.25 in a month when your Liv balance averages below that, which is the running cost of keeping the door open.

Fees and balance
Account charges
No monthly fee.
Liv charges no commission on UAE share trades. The exchanges charge their own fees, and those are what the investor pays: 0.714% on a Dubai Financial Market order plus a flat AED 10.50 per transaction, or 0.798% on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange with no transaction fee. Both figures include the applicable tax.
On the minimum AED 5,000 DFM order, buying costs about AED 46 and selling the same again, close to 1.8% of the position for a round trip. The same trade on the ADX costs about AED 40 each way. Larger orders spread the flat DFM fee across more value, so the AED 10.50 becomes less significant.

How to open
Open in the app.

The wealth portfolio is opened online from inside the Liv app, with no extra documents required. A cooling-off period of five business days applies from opening, during which trading cannot start unless the right is waived in writing. Anyone opening the account to buy something within the week should factor in that timing; the written waiver is the only way to begin earlier.

2.Answer the questions to open your wealth portfolio.
3.Wait out the five-business-day cooling-off period, or waive it.
4.Fund the portfolio from your Liv account.
5.Place an order of AED 5,000 or more on the DFM or ADX.
