A Shariah-compliant certificate representing ownership in an asset or venture, paying returns from real economic activity rather than interest.
Yes — a Sukuk tranche can sit alongside conventional private credit in one structure.
A Sukuk requires identifiable assets or revenue-generating activity to underpin the structure — leasable real estate or equipment for an Ijara, trading flows for a Murabaha, or a defined business venture for a Wakala. The issuer also needs robust financials and documentation, as investors underwrite both the assets and the credit.
Yes. Eligibility rests on the structure and the assets, not on the owner’s background — provided the financed activity itself is permissible under Shariah principles. Many conventional corporates and developers use Sukuk or Islamic facilities to access a deeper pool of regional liquidity, often alongside conventional debt in a blended structure.
A private placement is sold directly to a select group of investors, with lighter documentation, faster execution and confidentiality, making it practical at smaller sizes. A public issuance reaches a broader investor base and can achieve finer pricing, but involves listing, disclosure and longer preparation. We advise on which route fits.
