Read this top-down. The Foundation, being established in the Qatar Financial Centre, oversees; it does not own or operate. Capital (Malta) and Ventures (Mexico) are the operating companies, both in formation. SGV is the general partner of the operating companies, grouped in eight verticals, each with its own Safa parent.

What it is

A foundation built to oversee, not to operate.

The Foundation will not operate any business. It will not raise capital, manage investments or sell products. Its job is to make sure the people who check the Safa Global companies are independent of the people who run them.

Safa Global Capital, once established in Malta, will act as the liaison to the Foundation’s office in Doha.

What it will do

Three responsibilities.

01

Appoints the independent auditors

The auditors of the Safa Global companies will be appointed by the Foundation and will report to it, not to the management of the companies they audit.

02

Appoints the adviser on ethical and Islamic financial regulation

Before any instrument is issued, an independent adviser appointed through the Foundation will review it, and that review will be published. No adviser has been appointed yet.

03

Never audits itself

The Foundation receives the audit work; it does not perform it. Its own accounts will be audited by an independent auditor and published.

Where it stands today

In formation, with counsel.

The Foundation’s charter, its board and the powers it will hold are being drafted with counsel. They will be published when the Foundation is registered.

Until then, nothing on this page describes rights that anyone holds today.
