What is a sukuk

A sukuk is a financial instrument structured to comply with the principles of Shari’ah.

Investors provide capital for purchase of, or investment in, Shari’ah-compliant assets.

In return, they are given Sukuk Trust Certificates representing an undivided ownership interest proportionate to the value of the holder’s investment.

Certificates entitle holders to receive pro rata share of the cash flows or revenues generated by the underlying tangible asset, e.g., property.

A total of 68 sukuk are listed on the london stock exchange, with more than $50 billion raised

Expanding on Shari’ah finance growth in the UK and the UK property opportunity

Sukuk Plc believes structural tailwinds are likely to support the UK property market, and Sukuk Plc actively manages its exposure to areas experiencing pricing pressure to ensure it has a diversified portfolio.

Our rates remain relatively high because of our focus on experienced property investors, and this provides attractive risk-adjusted returns.

The UN considers Islamic finance an important, non-traditional source of financing for the sustainable development goals.

A sustainable choice

It argues that Islamic finance’s high ethical standards mean “impact investing, sustainability, socially responsible investing, and green investment” all fall within the mandate of Shari’ah-compliant investment.

Sukuk Plc strictly follows these standards and even intends to donate a percentage of its incentive fee to charitable causes, meaning our investors really are engaged in a socially responsible investment.
