Hejaz Private Equity Fund Reaches 125.51% Inception-to-Date Cumulative Return Milestone

Sydney-based Islamic financial services provider Hejaz has announced a 125.51% inception-to-date (ITD) cumulative return for its Private Equity Fund, Sub Trust 1, as at 30 September 2025. The milestone marks a significant achievement for the fund's long-term investment strategy and reflects the firm's disciplined approach to asset management since inception. The announcement underscores Hejaz's growing capability to identify, structure, and manage high-quality private market opportunities within a Sharia-compliant framework.

A Milestone Rooted in Disciplined Strategy

The 125.51% ITD cumulative return has been supported by the fund's focus on identifying high-quality private market investments, underpinned by disciplined portfolio construction and active oversight by the Hejaz investment team. The strategy prioritises long-term value creation, strong governance, and selective exposure to sectors with sustainable growth potential. Rather than chasing short-term returns, the fund's approach has consistently emphasised prudent risk management and structured capital allocation since its inception.

The result also reflects Hejaz's expanding capability across both primary and secondary private markets, demonstrating its ability to deliver strong long-term outcomes while maintaining strict adherence to Islamic finance principles. This combination of financial rigour and faith-based compliance is central to what differentiates Hejaz's private markets offering in the Australian investment landscape.

"This milestone demonstrates the strength of our private markets strategy and the rigorous investment framework applied across our portfolio."

"Our focus remains on disciplined execution, prudent risk management, and delivering sustainable long-term value for our investors."

A Wholesale Vehicle for Sophisticated Investors

The Hejaz Private Equity Fund, Sub Trust 1 is a wholesale investment vehicle available exclusively to eligible investors. It is not a listed product and is distinct from Hejaz's exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other publicly offered investment products. In Australia, wholesale private funds are typically designed for sophisticated or high-net-worth investors who meet specific financial thresholds set under the Corporations Act 2001.

Because wholesale investors are considered more experienced, these funds operate under a different regulatory framework and often provide access to specialised investment opportunities — including private equity, private credit, and property development — that are not available through traditional retail investment products. The fund is issued and managed by Hejaz Funds Management Pty Ltd (ABN 87 138 165 901, AFSL 339583).
