A Guide for High-Net-Worth Investors

Shariah-Compliant Property Investment: A Guide for High-Net-Worth Investors

In recent years, demand for Sharia-compliant investment opportunities has grown significantly — especially within the high-net-worth and family office space. Yet, when it comes to real estate, many investors seeking halal alternatives are left with limited, often inflexible options.

At Rise Capital, we’ve addressed this gap by developing a market-leading, Sharia-compliant real estate investment framework that combines ethical structuring with institutional-grade protections. Here’s what Islamic investors need to know.

What Is Sharia-Compliant Property Investment?

Sharia-compliant property investment refers to real estate opportunities structured in accordance with Islamic finance principles, which prohibit:

• Riba (interest)

• Gharar (excessive uncertainty)

• Maysir (speculation or gambling)

Instead, Shariah-compliant investments are built on tangible assets, fair trade, and risk-sharing models such as Murabaha, Mudarabah, or Ijara.

The Rise Capital Shariah Framework

Rise Capital provides private investors with access to UK property development deals — using a structure that fully replaces interest-based lending with a Master Commodity Murabaha Agreement.

How It Works:

• Investors purchase commodities from the SPV at a fixed markup (Murabaha profit)

• The SPV sells those commodities to release cash for project funding

• Investors repay the agreed deferred price over time — with no interest or penalties

All funds are held in a regulated escrow account and released only on certified construction milestones.

Solving a 30-Year Problem in Property Development Finance

For decades, property developers and investors have suffered under a broken system:

• Aggressive bank-led recovery tactics

• Last-minute funding withdrawals

• Mezzanine lenders with punitive terms

• Lack of transparency, control, and alignment

Rise Capital’s model is engineered to solve this 30-year problem — by removing bank financing entirely and creating a structure where Shariah-compliant investors can step into the senior capital position without compromising on ethics or protections.

This revolutionary model offers:

• Total transparency

• Fixed-income returns

• Strong security

• Optional equity upside

• Full alignment of incentives between developers and investors

And now, it’s available in a structure that satisfies Islamic finance standards.

Risk Mitigation & Capital Protection

Unlike many conventional investment platforms, Rise Capital’s model includes:

• Escrow protection via Interpolitan Money plc

• Reimbursement-based construction – contractors are only paid after verification by an independent surveyor

• Security over the SPV’s property assets held by a trustee on behalf of investors

And if the properties don’t sell within 3 months of completion?

• Our rental fall-back strategy activates

• Investors receive 4% rental income per annum

• They retain a share in the capital appreciation upon refinance or future sale

Why Islamic Investors Are Choosing Real Estate

Real estate offers Islamic investors a compelling combination of:

• Tangible asset backing

• Predictable returns

• Low correlation with volatile markets

• Social impact through housing delivery

And when structured properly — as with Rise Capital’s model — it becomes a strong fit for:

• Gulf-based investors seeking UK exposure

• UK-resident Muslims looking for halal wealth creation

• Islamic trusts, zakat funds, and Waqf managers

Key Benefits of the Rise Capital Model:

• Approved by Shariah scholars
