Sharia’ compliant Timber Fund

The first and only sharia’ compliant timber fund in France, launched in November 2024. My role was to suggest the appropriate legal structure for the forestry investment, review the fund's documentation, propose the necessary contractual adjustments before submitting it to an external Sharia board, and collaborate with the marketing team to prepare various communication materials. The adjusted clauses included the elimination of all forms of Riba, the prohibition of hunting and related revenues, and the removal of any non-compliant bank guarantees or late payment penalties. The choice of the GFI fund structure offers an AMF visa, and tax benefits to investors (income tax & inheritance rights). The fund is managed by FranceValley, an European leader in investment and wealth solutions based on natural assets, and distributed by 570easi (subsidiary of Conexcap).

Fractional Real-Estate Investment

The first sharia’ compliant fractional real-estate solution in France, inaugural project launched in December 2024. My role was to advise Conexcap on their partnership agreement with ATOA (reviewing the legal documentation), proposing sharia’ compliant financial structures for different real-estate operations, prepare financial models and scenario analysis and collaborate with the marketing team to prepare various communication materials: internal & external communication as well as training material. The first successful project launched in December was a property-flip in Eaubonne (near Paris), based on sukuk mudaraba.
