Investment Associate Role | Cur8 Capital
Summary: Cur8 Capital is an established London-base dsharia-compliant wealth manager focused on the mass affluent audience. We offer a full suite of asset classes across real estate, income, private equity and venture capital.
Cur8 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IslamicFinanceGuru (IFG), one of the world’s most prominent Islamic fintechs designed to help Muslims make smart financial decisions. We have a passionate following and are solving a global problem. Muslims are on average 20% poorer than the rest of the world. We are changing that one ground-breaking investment at a time. It’s a huge market too - Muslims make up around 25% of the global population - and there is a burgeoning middle class.
We’re breaking our AUM records every quarter and we have a big, global mission ahead of us. We are proud to share the same investors that invested in Curve, Monese, PrimaryBid, Onfido, Acorns, and many others.
