Common Questions

Clarity before commitment.

Do you work on Sukuk and Sharia-compliant capital?

Yes. We structure and place Sukuk and other Sharia-compliant instruments alongside conventional debt and equity, working with leading scholars and structuring counsel where required.

What is your typical ticket size?

Mandates typically range from $10M to $500M in transaction value, with a working minimum of $10M. We selectively engage outside this range when the strategic fit is strong.

How is your team set up?

A senior-led model. Every mandate is led day-to-day by a Partner or Director, drawing on a partnership with 124+ years of combined investment banking and principal investing experience. No mandate is delegated to junior bench.

How do engagements typically begin?

We start with a confidential discussion and a focused diagnostic, followed by a written engagement scope. Most mandates are retainer-plus-success-fee structures, calibrated to scope and complexity.

How is your fee structure determined?

Fees are calibrated to scope, complexity, and outcome. Most engagements combine a modest retainer with a success fee aligned to the transaction outcome, so our incentives sit with yours.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Discretion is structural, not optional. Engagements are governed by NDAs from first contact, internal need-to-know walls are enforced, and we publish only what clients explicitly authorise.
