Arabic & jurisdictions

English and Arabic, from the same figures

Capital call notices and quarterly LP statements render in English or Arabic. Both come from one template and one set of engine figures, so the Arabic notice shows exactly the numbers in the English one.

One notice, two languages

English

What the Arabic version does

Right to left, on any machine

The Arabic document is laid out right to left and carries its own Arabic typeface (Noto Naskh Arabic), so it renders the same wherever it is opened.

Figures stay exactly the same

Each amount is kept left to right inside the Arabic text and formatted exactly as in English. The product’s tests check that the figures match byte for byte.

Dates readers expect

The Arabic version gives Gregorian dates with Arabic month names and Western digits.

What stays as written

Text you or the drafting agent write — purpose lines, the quarterly letter — appears in the language it was written in. Cover emails are drafted in English.

Jurisdiction templates

Each fund has a jurisdiction. It sets the closing statement printed on every capital call notice, in both languages, and the KYC checklist used for the fund’s LPs.

Closing statement and KYC checklist by jurisdiction
JurisdictionClosing statement on the notice (English)KYC checklist
DIFC (Dubai)“This notice is issued pursuant to the fund’s constitutional documents under the DIFC regulatory framework.”Standard five items
ADGM (Abu Dhabi)“This notice is issued pursuant to the fund’s constitutional documents under the ADGM regulatory framework.”Standard five items
Oman“This notice is issued pursuant to the fund’s constitutional documents.”Standard five items
United Kingdom“This notice is issued pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement. Nothing in this notice constitutes financial promotion under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. This communication is directed only at the named limited partner.”Standard five items, plus FATCA/CRS self-certification

The standard KYC items are: identity document, proof of address, source of funds declaration, sanctions screening, and politically exposed person (PEP) assessment. Funds with no jurisdiction set use a generic template.

Every closing statement has an Arabic counterpart used in the Arabic notice. The wording is a starting point for your counsel to review, not legal advice; changing or adding a jurisdiction is a template edit, not a software project.

Currencies to the minor unit

Funds can run in USD, GBP, EUR, AED, SAR or OMR. The engine works in each currency’s minor unit — cents, pence, fils, halalas — and in baisa for the Omani rial, to three decimal places.
