Taleem REIT Fund (4333.SR) is a Shariah-compliant real estate investment trust externally managed by Saudi Fransi Capital LLC that invests primarily in income-generating educational properties across Saudi Arabia. The fund owns a portfolio of seven developed real estate assets located in Riyadh and Dammam, focusing on constructionally completed facilities qualified for periodic rental income and returns; these include educational buildings leased to tenants in the education sector, providing investors exposure to the growing Saudi real estate market without direct property ownership. It operates within the diversified REIT segment of the real estate industry, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking Shariah-compliant yields from stable rental streams.
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at PO Box 23454, Taleem REIT Fund listed on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) in August 2018 with 51 million units outstanding; it functions as a subsidiary of its external manager, Saudi Fransi Capital LLC. The fund maintains high portfolio occupancy rates, reported above 78% recently, with assets concentrated in key urban centers supporting Saudi Arabia's education infrastructure.
