Qantara’s Growth Fund: Premier Islamic Private Equity

This islamic equity fund aims for superior long-term returns by investing in high-growth, private equity halal sectors.

Target Return: 12% per annum

What is Our Islamic Growth Fund Strategy?

The Growth Fund pursues private equity-style investments that target mission-led ventures, SMEs, and scalable businesses built on ethical foundations. We will pursue investments in businesses that are highly cash generative, sustainable, and legacy defining. Through the participation of our Income Fund, we are able to offer well-structured, ethically compliant funding options to replace riba structures.

Capital from both Funds will be strategically deployed to acquire and grow these businesses, ultimately enhancing equity returns for our Growth Fund investors. These investments will always be made in accordance with our investment thesis, and after approval from the Investment Committee.

We aim to deliver a 12% annualised return for investors by investing in cash generative businesses that reﬂect our values. After returning this minimum to investors and 20% to the asset manager, investors will participate in 50% of any uncapped upside.

The fund will initially have a geographic focus on Africa and the Middle East, but with a keen interest in businesses that have the potential to scale globally. The Growth Fund has an existing pipeline of exceptional businesses to be pursued for investment, starting in South Africa, and looking to the rest of Africa and the Middle East to increase the geographic spread of the portfolio.
