3 Tricks Billionaires Use to Help Protect Wealth Through Shaky Markets
“If I hear bad news about the stock market one more time, I’m gonna be sick.”
We get it. Investors are rattled, costs keep rising, and the world keeps getting weirder.
So, who’s better at handling their money than the uber-rich?
Have 3 long-term investing tips UBS (Swiss bank) shared for shaky times:
Hold extra cash for expenses and buying cheap if markets fall.
Diversify outside stocks (Gold, real estate, etc.).
Hold a slice of wealth in alternatives that tend not to move with equities.
The catch? Most alternatives aren’t open to everyday investors
That’s why Masterworks exists: 70,000+ members invest in shares of something that’s appreciated more overall than the S&P 500 over 30 years without moving in lockstep with it.*
Contemporary and post war art by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and more.
Sounds crazy, but it’s real. One way to help reclaim control this week:

PropertyPistol Expands Into the UAE
Mumbai-based real estate platform PropertyPistol has announced plans to invest AED 10 million to expand its operations in Dubai.
The expansion will focus on strengthening local advisory teams, upgrading technology infrastructure, and building regulatory and developer partnerships across the UAE. PropertyPistol’s move reflects the growing role of Gulf markets as regional hubs for real estate investment, brokerage, and PropTech adoption, attracting platforms seeking cross-border growth opportunities beyond their home markets.
Indian PropTech Startup Truva Raises $6.3 Million Series A
Mumbai-based PropTech startup Truva has raised $6.3 million in Series A funding, led by existing investors Stellaris Venture Partners and Orios Venture Partners.
Truva operates a real estate marketplace platform focused on improving transaction efficiency and access to verified inventory. The company plans to deploy the capital toward working capital support, platform expansion, and scaling operations across additional Indian cities. The round adds to continued funding activity within India’s PropTech sector, particularly platforms addressing discovery and transaction bottlenecks.
PropteX Accelerator Launches $5 Million MENA Fund
German insurtech and proptech startup Enzo has raised an additional €4 million in a seed extension, bringing its total seed funding to €6.2 million. The round strengthens Enzo’s position at the intersection of building technology and insurance, as property owners and insurers increasingly prioritise prevention over post-incident claims management.
Enzo develops AI- and IoT-based leak-detection sensors that monitor buildings in real time to identify early signs of water damage. The system is paired with insurance coverage, aligning risk prevention with underwriting incentives. The company plans to use the new capital to further develop its AI platform, deepen partnerships with insurance providers, and support international expansion. As water damage remains one of the most frequent and costly sources of property insurance claims globally, Enzo’s model reflects growing demand for technology-led risk mitigation embedded directly into building operations.
Outlook:
Cross-region expansion (UAE, India) indicates global scaling opportunities for PropTech platforms.
Series A funding momentum validates technology adoption in high-growth markets.
Capital inflows continue even as broader PropTech funding slows, with niches like analytics, AI workflows, and platform technologies leading the way.
