The approval was granted to Azimut Investments, and the prospectus for the first digital issuance of the “Halan – Azimut” Real Estate Investment Fund is currently under review for launch on the platform.

In a strategic move to develop Egypt’s non-banking financial sector and accelerate digital transformation in the markets, the Committee for Fintech Applications in Non-Banking Financial Activities at the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has approved the establishment of the first digital platform for investing in real estate investment fund documents, submitted by Azimut Investments – Egypt.

This platform is the first of its kind in the Egyptian market, representing a major shift in real estate investment mechanisms. It introduces innovative digital solutions that allow individuals to invest in fractional ownership of real estate units through investment documents offered via FRA-licensed digital platforms.

This initiative follows Board Resolution No. 125 of 2025, which set the first regulatory framework for establishing and operating digital platforms for real estate investment fund documents. The framework aims to protect investors and support the stability and growth of the sector.

The FRA is currently reviewing the prospectus for the first digital issuance of the “Halan – Azimut” Real Estate Fund, in preparation for its launch on the new digital platform, making it the first fully digital real estate investment fund in the Egyptian market.

The board of directors of the “Halan – Azimut” fund includes a diverse group of financial institutions and real estate developers, featuring:

Mounir Nakhlah representing MNT Tech Holding

Ahmed Abou El-Saad representing Azimut Investments

Khaled Saqr representing MNT Tech Holding

Independent members: Hassan Allam, Hala El-Hadidi, Noura Mashhour, and Mohamed Alawi

The launch of this platform complements the FRA’s efforts to expand financial, investment, and insurance inclusion. It aims to offer new investment products at accessible costs using modern digital tools that align with global trends and meet the aspirations of diverse investor segments.

The FRA also seeks to create a secure, transparent, and efficient investment environment, regulating all digital platforms dedicated to real estate investment. Existing models will be required to comply with the new regulations. The initiative also opens the door for real estate developers to showcase their projects to investors through professionally managed real estate investment funds offered via licensed platforms.

In this context, the FRA has held a series of meetings with leaders in the real estate development sector and several electronic platforms engaged in selling fractional property shares to the public. These meetings aimed to clarify the regulatory vision and licensing requirements, reflecting the FRA’s ongoing dialogue with market stakeholders and its commitment to integrating technological innovation with regulatory discipline in the non-banking financial ecosystem.
