Description

The Musharaka REIT Fund is a closed-end real estate investment trust meticulously structured to comply with Islamic Sharia regulations and standards. A dedicated Sharia advisor conducts regular evaluations of the fund's terms, conditions, and all operational aspects to ensure continuous adherence to approved Sharia principles. Established in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the fund operates in accordance with the national Real Estate Investment Funds Regulations and specific directives for real estate investment trusts. Its primary objective is to invest in developed, income-generating real estate assets that are available for lease, thereby securing consistent rental revenue. While its focus is on established properties, the fund is permitted to allocate a portion of its capital, up to 25%, to real estate development projects. A key stipulation is that at least 75% of its assets must always be invested in developed, income-producing properties, and the fund explicitly refrains from investing in undeveloped "white lands." Upon its launch, the fund commenced operations with a portfolio of five properties valued at 880 million Saudi Riyals. Since then, it has demonstrated significant growth, expanding its real estate holdings to double the initial number and increasing its total asset value beyond one billion Saudi Riyals.
