Notes to Editors

Briceamery Capital arranges investments within the UK and beyond based on Islamic Finance Principles. Investments based on Islamic values are also referred to as Shariah based transaction and are considered as a subset of ‘Ethical Investments’. A typical Shariah based transaction is structured as an asset / activity based investment arrangement and as opposed a loan agreement.

The conventional private equity / venture capital structure is closely aligned to Shariah principles, due to the nature of taking equity stakes and risk sharing between investors and management, some key features are:

• The investor would provide capital to the business in order to undertake a business / investment activity
• The administration fee is considered an agency arrangement
• The performance fee (or carry) is viewed as the return for the provision of capital and expertise.

However, the key difference with a Shariah based transaction is that profits are shared on a pre-agreed ratio, the loss of an investment is (may only be) borne by the investor(s) only. This type of arrangement is known as a ‘Mudaraba’ agreement.

In the context of commercial activities Shariah prohibits the following:
• The collection and payment of any predetermined guaranteed rate of return, such as interest, also known as ‘Riba’
• Unacceptable level of risk or uncertainty, known as ‘Gharar’
• Investments in industries that are against Islamic values referred to as ‘haraam’ for example; Interest based financial services, Alcohol, Gambling, Pornography, Arms trade and Tobacco Industries
• The ratio of total conventional debt to total assets being greater than 33 percent.

Although, Shariah investments do need to fulfil certain criteria, there are no uniform set of standards and interpretations. Accordingly, whether an investor views a particular transaction as ‘Shariah-compliant’ will depend upon the review and approval by the Shariah consultant engaged by the investor.

Based on the values of the business and the attractiveness of the investments that Briceamery Capital will be arranges, we serve all communities and not just the Islamic community.
