Zakat treatment varies by fund and is governed by each fund’s specific terms and conditions. Investors should always refer to the relevant fund documentation to understand how zakat is handled.
Some funds may provide zakat calculation reports (often prepared with the assistance of the fund’s appointed auditor). In these cases, investors can use the provided information to support their own zakat filings. However, the payment of zakat remains the responsibility of the investor.
Other funds may not provide zakat reports. In such cases, it is the investor’s responsibility to fully calculate and assess their zakat obligations based on their investment.
Stake does not pay zakat on behalf of investors. Investors are encouraged to consult with their tax or zakat advisors for guidance specific to their circumstances.
