Binghatti Capital to manage $1B in Shariah-compliant investments, advancing ethical finance and expanding Dubai’s role as a global asset management hub.
Binghatti Capital aims to reshape private credit and real estate investments through ethical finance, strategic growth, and tailored solutions for professional clients.
Dubai, UAE – Binghatti Holding, a prominent name in luxury real estate development, has announced the launch of Binghatti Capital Limited, a Shariah-compliant asset management firm headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The new firm is set to manage approximately $1 billion in private credit and real estate strategies aligned with Islamic finance principles.
Binghatti Capital has secured authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), enabling it to operate exclusively with professional clients. The firm’s offerings will span discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio mandates, providing bespoke investment solutions to meet the specific needs of its clientele.
Real Estate and Credit Investment Focus
The firm’s real estate strategy will cover both acquisition and sale of off-plan residential properties, alongside the development of residential projects. Its private credit platform will focus on supply chain financing tailored for construction companies, property managers, and key suppliers, a vital component to ensure liquidity and growth across the sector.
Strategic Expansion into Asset Management
Katralnada Binghatti, Executive Director of Binghatti Capital, positioned the launch as a natural evolution for the group. “This strategic move allows us to deepen Binghatti Holding’s investment footprint and deliver high-value, income-generating investments with sustainable growth potential,” she stated. “We are also advancing Dubai’s ambition of becoming a global foreign investment leader.”
Echoing the sentiment, Shehzad Janab, SEO of Binghatti Capital, noted that the launch marks a “well-structured approach to real estate investing,” opening opportunities typically limited to large institutional investors. “Our disciplined governance and Shariah-compliant framework will drive resilient growth across market cycles,” he added.
Reinforcing DIFC’s Global Standing
Salmaan Jaffrey, Chief Business Development Officer at DIFC Authority, welcomed the firm’s addition to the centre’s ecosystem. “With over 400 wealth and asset management firms and more than 46,000 professionals, DIFC continues to be the region’s foremost hub. Binghatti Capital’s presence will further solidify our position as a top destination for asset management.”
The launch of Binghatti Capital follows Binghatti Holding’s recent acquisition of a mega plot for a Dhs25 billion master-planned community, signifying the group’s aggressive expansion strategy.
As Binghatti Capital begins operations, it underscores not only its commitment to ethical finance but also Dubai’s rising stature in the global financial and investment landscape.
