Duration of Investments

Qantara Private Capital structures each fund with a defined lifecycle that is designed to support disciplined capital deployment, active asset management, and well-timed exits.

Individual assets are generally held on a medium- to long-term basis, allowing for consistent income generation from tenanted properties as well as the opportunity for capital appreciation. Thus, the typical fund term ranges between 5 and 7 years, providing sufficient time to acquire, manage, and realise investments in a controlled and value-focused manner. Value is further supported through proactive management and, where appropriate, selective development aimed at strengthening asset quality and income sustainability.

The term “best endeavours” is legal and financial jargon. It means that Qantara is always committed to, but cannot promise, a fixed outcome.

This is applicable in relation to the sale, timing and price of the fund’s assets, which each have a direct impact on investor returns.

The redemption amount will be determined by the current fair market value of the underlying assets, if sold early. This ensures that payout reflects actual asset performance. Redemption proceeds may therefore be higher or lower than the original investment, depending on prevailing market conditions and asset valuations at the time of exit.

Shariah principles

Ethical Investment

All investments are screened to ensure they comply with Shari’ah law, avoiding activities and businesses that are prohibited under Islamic principles, including gambling, alcohol, and non-compliant entertainment.

Profit-and-Loss Sharing

Investors participate in genuine economic activity where returns are based on real profit-and-loss outcomes rather than guaranteed interest, aligning risk and reward fairly among all parties.

Asset-Backed Financing

Investments are tied to tangible assets, ensuring that capital is deployed responsibly and not in speculative or purely financial instruments.

Transparency and Governance

Qantara upholds full disclosure, robust governance, and fiduciary responsibility to protect investors’ capital, and ensuring all investment decisions are made in a principled, accountable manner.

Social Responsibility and Sustainability

Investment strategies are aligned with ethical and socially responsible objectives, promoting economic development and avoiding harm to society or the environment.

Avoidance of Riba (Interest)

All structures strictly avoid interest-bearing instruments, providing investors with Shari’ah-compliant alternatives to conventional Western finance products.

Shari’ah Supervisory Oversight

All Funds operate under the guidance and approval of an independent Shari’ah Supervisory Board, ensuring continuous compliance with Islamic finance principles.
