Walton Global Launches Shariah-Compliant Land Fund for International Investors
By Staff
Walton Global has launched the U.S. Land Income & Growth Fund, a private vehicle targeting offshore institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking exposure to the U.S. residential land market.
The fund, which completed its first close in October 2025, aims to generate income and long-term capital appreciation while addressing the housing supply imbalance across the United States. It has been certified as Shariah-compliant by Masryef Advisory, expanding access for investors with Islamic finance or ethical investment mandates.
The fund utilizes a hybrid investment strategy that combines short- to mid-term homebuilder financing with direct land acquisition.
On the financing side, the fund provides capital to large national U.S. homebuilders, secured by first-lien interests in residential land, with income generated through regular interest payments.
It also acquires residential land in high-growth metropolitan areas characterized by housing undersupply.
“The fund is intended for institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking stable income and long-term growth through U.S. real asset exposure,” said Tim Haywood, managing director, Middle East at Walton Global. He noted that the strategy focuses on earlier stages of the housing value chain, where capital is secured by land rather than finished housing or consumer demand.
The U.S. Land Income & Growth Fund is registered in the Cayman Islands and regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. It is available to qualified investors through several global platforms, including Swissquote, Moventum, Capital Platforms, Momentum, Capital International Group, Universal Platform, Veri-Global and Veritas Life.
Earlier this month, the company named Grace Garby as senior vice president of capital markets and Jonathan Dease as executive vice president of national accounts. Garby is responsible for identifying and establishing relationships with financial advisers and broker-dealers throughout the Northeast region. Dease is leading the firm’s national accounts strategy, with responsibility for expanding selling agreements, strengthening broker-dealer and RIA relationships, and driving strategic growth across Walton’s distribution platform.
Walton Global is a privately owned land asset management and real estate investment company with more than 85,000 acres under ownership, management and administration in the United States and Canada, totaling $4.54 billion. The company has distributed more than $3 billion to investors.
