Building for impact

First shari'a compliant Timber Fund in Europe

Our role in this project was to suggest the appropriate legal structure for the forestry fund, review the documentation, propose the necessary contractual adjustments to make the solution shari'a compliant before submitting it to the board, and collaborate with the client's marketing team to prepare various communication materials.

The fund, launched in November 2024 in France, is managed by FranceValley, an European leader in investment and wealth solutions based on natural assets, and distributed by Conexcap Finance.

This innovative solution marks a significant step in providing diversified and affordable sharia compliant investment solutions for the French market. Beyond financial returns and tax benefits, the GFI promotes environmental preservation through sustainable forest management.

Micro-Sukuk, Fractional Real-Estate Solution

Our role in this project was to structure and assess the feasibility of several fractional real-estate projects, building financial models and helping the client's marketing team to prepare various communication material.

The Moon Eaubonne project, launched in December 2024, marked a significant milestone for the Islamic finance industry in France as the first sharia' compliant fractional real-estate operation. This first project was structured as a Mudaraba partnership. Led by a local property dealer acting as the Mudarib, the operation involves a property flip, targeting an annual yield of 8% for investors, acting as Rab al-Maal.

As the first Sharia’ compliant fractional real-estate operation in France, this initiative introduces an innovative way of financing real estate projects and paves the way for many future opportunities.
