Ocorian, a market leader in asset servicing for private markets and corporate and fiduciary administration, is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Ebdaa Islamic Finance Consultancy Limited (UK), an international Islamic finance advisory and consultancy. 

This collaboration underscores Ocorian’s commitment to delivering innovative Sharia-compliant financial solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of high-net-worth individuals in the GCC region and beyond.

Combining Ocorian’s deep expertise in robust wealth and asset servicing structures with Ebdaa IFC’s market-leading Islamic finance capabilities, this partnership will offer clients unparalleled support in areas such as structuring Sharia-compliant family foundations, Sukuk solutions using ADGM SPVs and DIFC-prescribed companies.

Nina Auchoybur, Managing Director at Ocorian, commented: “Ocorian has long been a trusted partner for GCC families, with over two decades of experience structuring to achieve Sharia compliance. In particular, our Jersey-based trustees, supported by a globally connected team, bring a wealth of expertise to this partnership with over two decades of experience in Sharia compliant structures. By collaborating with Ebdaa IFC, we further enhance our ability to deliver tailored solutions that align with Islamic finance principles and solve our clients' complex needs.”

Mohammed Saifullah Khan, Founder & CEO of Ebdaa IFC, added: “This partnership with Ocorian is a defining moment for Islamic private markets, aligning with the $15 trillion private markets sector’s rapid growth. As demand for Sharia-compliant wealth solutions accelerates, we bridge Islamic finance with global expertise, delivering high-impact, ethical investment strategies.

At Ebdaa IFC, we combine deep Islamic finance expertise with Ocorian’s global reach, offering high-value, trust-driven partnerships. Beyond compliance, we build trust-driven partnerships, empowering high-net-worth individuals and family offices to navigate and capitalise on Islamic finance opportunities worldwide and shape the future of Islamic wealth management.” 

Leevyn Isabel, Commercial Director – Middle East, at Ocorian adds: “There is a growing demand for based Sharia-compliant solutions, driven by the increasing trend of GCC families structuring their wealth domestically and as the GCC experiences an influx of HNWIs drawn to the UAE’s favourable regulatory environment and high standard of living. By offering innovative, co-branded Islamic solutions, Ocorian and Ebdaa IFC are setting a new benchmark in the delivery of Sharia-compliant financial services.”
