Fund Investment vs
Direct Property Ownership
Diversification
Our Capital Fund provides superior diversification by investing across multiple properties, sectors, and locations, which significantly reduces exposure to single-asset risk. In contrast, direct ownership ties your entire investment to one asset or project, concentrating your risk.
Compliance
Investing with our fund offers peace of mind with full compliance, as we are DFSA-regulated with audited accounts and managed by a DIFC-empanelled* firm. Direct ownership, however, involves limited regulatory oversight and requires you to handle all compliance responsibilities yourself.
Fund Reporting
We provide timely and transparent financial reporting from our expert fund management partners. This differs from direct ownership, which typically lacks formal reporting, leaving you to track and analyze performance on your own.
Ownership Hassle
Our fund provides a completely passive investment experience, freeing you from all maintenance, tenant, and administrative duties. With direct ownership, you take on the active responsibilities of a landlord, including repairs and tenant management.
Regulatory Framework
Our fund operates under the robust DIFC* regulatory framework, offering a high degree of global investor protections. Direct ownership is subject to local property laws, which can lead to a more fragmented and less protected legal process.
Liquidity & Exit
The fund provides a defined investment horizon and a structured exit strategy for your assets. This stands in contrast to direct ownership, where liquidity and the ability to exit are highly dependent on market conditions and the availability of a buyer.
Tax Efficiency
Our fund is designed for tax efficiency, with 0% tax on capital gains. Direct ownership may expose you to repatriation limits and potential tax friction in other jurisdictions.
Professional Management
Your assets are expertly managed by our institutional team and vetted partners. With direct ownership, you are responsible for self-managing the asset or relying on local brokers and agents.
