Property Fund & REIT Registration and Licensing

Navigate Property Fund & REIT Establishment in Pakistan

Pakistan's real estate sector presents significant investment opportunities, leading to increased interest in structured property investment vehicles like Property Funds and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Establishing and operating such funds requires meticulous adherence to regulatory frameworks. Javid Law Associates provides comprehensive legal and corporate services to facilitate the complete registration and licensing process for your property fund, ensuring full compliance with Pakistani laws and `SECP` regulations. Our expert services streamline the complex journey from conceptualization to operational readiness, enabling you to attract investors with confidence.

Regulatory Framework & Key Authorities

The establishment and licensing of Property Funds and REITs in Pakistan are primarily governed by the `Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP)`. This involves regulations related to Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs), Collective Investment Schemes (CIS), and specifically the REIT Regulations, 2015. Our services ensure your fund structure, offering documents, and operational procedures align perfectly with these requirements. Additionally, we handle all `FBR` and taxation matters, including `NTN Registration Pakistan` for the fund and its associated entities, ensuring tax compliance from the outset.

Our Comprehensive Service Coverage

Javid Law Associates offers end-to-end support for Property Fund and REIT registration and licensing. Our services include:

  • Initial structuring advice for your property fund, including identifying the most suitable legal entity (e.g., Trust structure for REIT).
  • Assistance with `SECP company registration` for the Asset Management Company (AMC) or REIT Management Company (RMC) responsible for managing the fund.
  • Preparation and submission of the comprehensive application for REIT scheme authorization or other property fund licensing with `SECP`.
  • Drafting of all necessary legal documentation, including the Trust Deed, Offering Document, Fund Rules, and other constitutive instruments.
  • Ensuring compliance with disclosure requirements and corporate governance standards set by `SECP`.
