How to exit a real estate fund in Saudi Arabia (and what to expect)

Real estate funds in Saudi Arabia are designed for long-term investing, so it’s important to know how and when you can exit before you commit. Here’s what to expect:

1. No Early Exit Options (For Now)

Once you invest in a Saudi fund on Stake, you're committed for the full duration of the fund.
This means:

• You can’t withdraw early or sell your units mid-way through the fund cycle.
• You’ll receive your full capital and final returns only after the fund ends and assets are sold.

2. What Happens at Exit

At the end of the fund’s term:

• The fund manager sells the real estate assets.
• The sale proceeds are distributed proportionally to all investors based on their unit ownership.
• Your investment is officially closed, and you’ll receive a final return summary.

3. Extension Periods May Apply

Some funds may include an optional extension period built into the terms.
For example:

• A 3-year fund might include a 1-year extension to allow more time for asset sales.
• This flexibility helps the fund manager maximize returns by waiting for favorable market conditions.

Pro Tip: Always check the fund’s documentation for exact terms, duration, and potential extension windows before investing.
