Our Approach
Many people each own a little wealth but lack the time or tools to invest it well. They hand it to a manager who pools it, puts it into good assets, guards it with independent custodians, and shares the harvest — keeping a small, agreed fee. That's the whole model. The rest is discipline.
Non-Interest, Properly
Plenty of products wear an Islamic label. These are the tests ours have to pass — every product, every time, checked by scholars who don't work for us:
A return has to come from something real: rent on a leased asset, profit from trade, dividends from a screened business, rental income from Sukuk. Money sitting in a loan contract collecting interest is exactly what we exist to avoid.
We won't guarantee you a fixed return, because honest investing can't. What we do promise: your risk sits beside ours, the fee is a slice of assets managed — so when portfolios shrink, our income shrinks with them.
Sectors that harm people — alcohol, gambling, exploitative lending — are out, full stop. So are companies whose books lean too hard on interest income. The screen is written down, and the Shariah board audits against it.
If a screened company still throws off a sliver of impermissible income, that sliver is stripped out and given to charity — calculated openly, reported to you.
How We're Paid
Each fund and mandate carries a single management fee — a small annual percentage of the assets we manage for you, published in the fund's documents. Venture investments earn us a share of realised profits, taken only after our partners have made money. Advisory work is billed as agreed, in writing, before we start. There is no third category, and there are no quiet spreads in between.
Who Checks Us
Fawzaan Capital is being licensed by Nigeria's SEC as a fund and portfolio manager, with a venture-capital licence alongside.
An independent, SEC-registered custodian holds client assets and titles. We instruct; they hold. Your money never passes through our own accounts.
Independent scholars approve each product before launch, audit it afterwards, and can halt anything that drifts. Their rulings bind us.
External auditors examine the accounts every year, and the reports go to clients in language a non-accountant can follow.
The right clients ask hard questions. Send them over — the answers are the easiest part of our job.
