فلسفة الاستثمار
Alpha Generation
Target gross IRRs of 15–25% through active management, operational improvements, and strategic repositioning of real estate assets.
Contrarian Approach
Invest where others are fearful; exit where others are greedy. We capitalize on market dislocations and cyclical downturns across the GCC.
Shari'a Compliance
All structures are asset-backed and free from interest (riba). Every investment is reviewed and approved by our Shari'a Supervisory Board.
Shari'a-Compliant Opportunistic Real Estate Framework
إطار العقارات الانتهازية المتوافقة مع الشريعة الإسلامية
All opportunistic real estate investments are structured in accordance with Islamic principles, overseen by our internal Shari'a Supervisory Board. We use Shari'a-compliant structures such as Musharaka (partnership) and Mudaraba (profit-sharing) for development and value-add projects.
Screening Process
- Asset verification (real, tangible real estate)
- Prohibition of interest-based (riba) financing
- Contractual structure approval (Musharaka, Mudaraba)
- Partner/sponsor business activity screening
- Annual Shari'a compliance certificate for each investment
