The fund's assets will be evaluated on a semiannual basis by appraisers from Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers (Taqeem). Initial valuation was conducted by Khadammati Office and White Cubes Co.
Tadawul started listing real estate investment traded funds (REITs) last year in a move aimed at enhancing transparency in the property sector and easing the Kingdom’s housing shortage.
These funds allow investors to access the local real estate market through purchasing existing, developed property.
