Essential answers on halal real estate co-ownership, 11% target yield generation, and Shari'ah compliance for the Qantara Property Fund.
The Property Fund is structured as a direct real estate acquisition and co-ownership partnership pool under South African law. Investors participate as limited partners / capital providers (Rabb-al-Mal) holding proportional undivided beneficial interests in an income-generating property portfolio. The fund operates in strict accordance with Shari'ah governance principles.
Returns are generated through two distinct economic mechanisms over the 7-year investment cycle: (1) contractually agreed lease rentals collected from screened residential, commercial, and industrial tenants, and (2) long-term capital appreciation of physical land and buildings upon property valuation or disposal. Because yields derive from real property tenancy and physical asset growth, they are structured to comply with Shari'ah as approved by the SAC, with any incidental non-compliant income purified.
No capital guarantee is provided, as capital guarantees are impermissible under Islamic jurisprudence. However, your capital is deployed into tangible brick-and-mortar real estate assets. Risk is managed through long-term lease agreements, tenant screening, and sector and geographic diversification.
In accordance with AAOIFI Shari'ah Standard No. 35 (Zakah) and Financial Accounting Standard No. 9 (Zakah), physical real estate held for long-term rental income is not subject to Zakat on its gross capital value; rather, Zakat is levied on net liquid rental yields and working capital. Qantara provides an audited Annual Zakat Statement specifying the exact zakatable amount per unit.
Each fund is structured to comply with Shari'ah as approved by our independent Shari'ah Advisory Committee (iConsult Africa). You can read the complete compliance breakdown, SAC oversight principles, and purification policies on our Shari'ah Governance FAQ page.
