Sukuk structures, reviewed properly

We advise arrangers, issuers, and SPV counsel on Shariah integrity of Sukuk programmes — asset eligibility, cash flows, disclosures, and documentation. We sit alongside your lawyers; we do not arrange, underwrite, or place securities.

Do you act as Shariah advisor on listed Sukuk?
We may provide advisory opinions where engaged by the issuer or arranger. Listing rules, prospectus liability, and SFC requirements remain your responsibility with your lawyers and sponsors.
Can you help place Sukuk with investors?
No. We do not arrange deals, solicit investors, or carry on regulated dealing or advising on securities under Hong Kong law.
How do you work with our law firms?
We comment on Shariah aspects; they draft enforceable legal text. Joint calls are common. Conflicting advice is escalated to your governance committee.
