None of the below are sponsored posts, just things people may find interesting.
Let’s dive straight in:
1) Acorn Property Invest – “Mawgan View, Trevarrian, Cornwall” (Shariah-compliant opportunity)
Acorn currently have their Mawgan View investment open for subscription, with around five days remaining. It’s a 30-month term project where they are raising £1.8m. The projected total return is 45% (equivalent to an 18% projected annual return).
This opportunity is only available to High Net Worth or Self-Certified Sophisticated Investors, and the minimum investment is believed to be ÂŁ10,000.
You can learn more about Acorn via this link, and read further details about the Mawgan View project via this link.
As always, projected returns are not guaranteed and all investments carry risk.
2) KWIN – the Shariah-compliant “Alternative Income ETF”
I’ve done a bit more digging into KWIN. One thing that stood out is that their Shariah compliance certificate is issued by Abrahamic Finance, whereas their other products have historically been certified by the Shariah Review Bureau (SRB).
It made me wonder whether there’s a specific reason for the change in certifier. I don’t know at this stage, but it’s unusual to see an ETF involving options being signed off, so it’s something worth looking into further.
The ETF isn’t available in the UK yet, so research continues in the meantime. If anyone has useful information or insights, feel free to share!
3) CrowdToLive (Bayuti) – New property listed
CrowdToLive/Bayuti (same company) have released a new property on their platform. It appears to be funding slowly so far, with around 0.59% currently funded.
The property shows an estimated 5.47% rental yield and a projected 10.75% gross annual return including expected capital growth. As always, these are only estimates and not guaranteed.
They also have another property listed on Parish Lane, London, which shows slightly lower expected rental yields but a higher projected overall return.
4) Nester been a bit quiet eh? Maybe the slowdown of Christmas time...
5) Closure of Wahed USA FTSE Shariah ETP.
Wahed has taken the strategic decision to close the Wahed FTSE USA Shariah ETP (HLAL) listed on the London Stock Exchange. You can see their official notice by going to their site and clicking on “Funds” and then HLAL.
They’ve stated the closure is linked to the launch of two new funds. We’ll wait to hear more before commenting further on those.
If you held HLAL in your brokerage account, the position should have been sold and proceeds returned to you automatically. This update is a little old now, but worth flagging again in case anyone missed it.
Market News
Bitcoin… crypto… what a ride.
I’ve personally been involved since 2017, so another dip isn’t exactly new territory. If the current moves feel overly stressful, it could just mean you’re either quite new to crypto or perhaps holding more than you’re comfortable with.
I’m thinking about adding a bit more during this dip, but honestly every method of buying crypto seems to come with its own risks, there never feels like a completely “safe” way to do it. And just a reminder: if you ever get a message from someone on social media pretending to be us, pushing crypto or a “too good to be true” investment, it’s not us, it’s a scam account.
Stock markets have been a bit choppy too. If I had to guess the short-term direction, I’d expect some more bumps over the next few months. That doesn’t change anything for me, I have goals, a plan, and I stick to it regardless of the short-term moves. Sometimes markets are just… markets.

We’ve officially launched the Nisba Academy, and our first cohort is already well underway. We’re running live sessions, following a structured programme, and engaging with the group every single day. It’s been a brilliant start so far! Next cohort starts Dec 23rd!
We dropped a YouTube video on Microsoft, is it halal or haram to invest into?
