What you need to know about Al Rajhi REIT

01/01/2018 Argaam

 

Al Rajhi REIT Fund’s initial public offering (IPO) has started today, and will run until Jan. 14.

 

Last month, Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved Al Rajhi Capital's request to offer, register and list units of Al-Rajhi REIT Fund on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul).

 

The fund manager is offering 42.67 million units at SAR 10 each. 

 

The close ended, Sharia-compliant REIT Fund will be listed as the ninth REIT on the Saudi bourse.

 

Al Rajhi REIT's investment in real estate development projects is subject to certain conditions, mainly investing no less than 75 percent of the fund's total assets in income-generating developed real estate units.

 

The fund, however, is not allowed to invest in white lands, as its preliminary asset portfolio comprises 13 fully-developed, incoming generating real estate units.

 

The fund seeks to generate regular rental income by primarily investing in developed real estate assets.
