Amiri Equity Alternative Strategies Fund

Key Innovation

Amiri Equity Alternative Strategies Fund (AEAS) is the first Islamic alternative investment funds to replicate the economic effects of shorting using Waad Structure. AEAS allows clients to leverage both long and short positions to maximise returns regardless of market conditions. This is a major advance in Islamic finance. Our clients can now benefit from situations where companies are believed to be overvalued.

In contrast to other attempts to replicate the economic effects of shorting, Waad structure, the way AEAS uses it, is fully Shariah Compliant, and clears all the requirement for strict Shariah compliance . It has been meticulously reviewed by world-renowned Islamic finance scholars, and has been awarded a fatwa .

Details of Shorting in AEAS using Waad

The starting point of AEAS Waad structure is the insight that Shariah allows two parties to make an arrangement based on unilateral promises (Waad), and these are binding on the party making the promises. This forms the basis of Amiri Capital Shorting Replication Technique.
