About

Wealth is an amanah. We built a group around that idea.

Amanah means a trust — something placed in your care that was never yours. That is how we treat every naira we manage, and it shapes everything else about how this group is put together.

Why We Exist

Two old problems, one answer.

The first problem: many Nigerians keep their savings out of the market entirely, because most of what's on offer runs on interest, and their conscience won't take it. The second: waqf property across the country sits idle or decaying, because nobody was ever made properly accountable for it. Both problems have the same missing piece — an institution people can actually trust. So we set out to build one, twice.

  • One standard of care. The same discipline applies whether the money belongs to an investor, a cooperative, or a century-old endowment.
  • Two separate companies. Fawzaan Capital and Tayseer run at arm's length, each with its own team, accounts and oversight. A wall stands between them by design.
  • Shariah in the structure. Independent scholars review the products before anyone's money touches them. Compliance is checked, not assumed.

Our Values

What we hold ourselves to.

Amanah — trusteeship

Every mandate is someone else's money, someone else's school fees, someone else's legacy. We handle it the way we'd want ours handled.

Sabr — patience

Good assets need time. We'd rather grow slowly on real economic activity than quickly on paper games.

Wuduh — clarity

If a client can't explain where their money is and what it earned, that's our failure. Reports here are written for the person reading them, not the person filing them.

Structure

A holding company, kept deliberately small.

Fawzaan Group holds the two operating companies and sets the governance bar. It doesn't trade, and it doesn't touch client assets. The real work happens in the companies:

Fawzaan Capital

Non-interest fund and portfolio management, with a venture arm that backs Nigerian businesses on risk-sharing terms. Abuja and Kano.

Tayseer Awqaf Management

Waqf structuring, protection and administration — built so that no single person can ever both control an endowment and spend its proceeds.
