Download or read book Shari a Compliant Private Equity written by Shahzad Siddiqui and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the 1st English language contribution to the global Islamic finance literature which is focused solely on Islamic private equity. Given the success of conventional private equity players and their demise during the credit crisis, it is instructive for executives of all levels to see how Islamic private equity can assist their businesses while avoiding the faultlines that led to recent demise of the conventional private equity system. Shariah-Compliant Private Equity, comprised of 10 chapters and 20 private equity case studies, is designed for the executive who wishes to access Shari'a-compliant private equity, launch a private equity fund, convert an existing fund into an Islamic equivalent, identify potential partners in the global private equity space, or simply to understand more about this type of private equity. In a broad yet detailed sweep of Islamic private equity, this book answers critical questions about the current private equity industry: The history of Islamic private equity and its relevance to the contemporary, post-crisis global economy. The closeness of Islamic private equity and de-leveraged conventional private equity. How to establish an Islamic private equity fund. How one conducts due diligence in Islamic private equity (with sample document checklist and Shari'a screens). What role Islamic private equity can play in fostering the environmental revolution. How basic business issues like information technology and insurance play out in Islamic private equity firms. How entrepreneurs craft business plans to appeal to the Shari'a-sensitive investor or investment firm. The case studies in the book bring these questions, and their potential answers, to life. There are several case studies, both actual and potential, on connecting Middle Eastern private capital with promising opportunities in the Western World and emergent China, 'the Middle Kingdom.' By way of example, there is a case study on a new Islamic private equity firm focused on financial services worldwide, which was seeded by sovereign wealth funds, specialist investment vehicles and high-net worth individuals. There is a case study on a plan to save the Big 3 U.S automakers, using Islamic private equity and sukuk, on the heels of a Vatican article which stated sukuk could be used to save the ailing car industry and finance the Olympic Games in London. There are also practical case studies on small businesses like restaurants seeking private equity funding and more whimsical studies on the buying and selling of polo ponies.

Download or read book Shariah Investment Agreement written by Syed Adam Alhabshi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-sharing investment is currently the buzz word in Islamic finance. However, there is an incongruence in applying multilayered and opaque Tijarah contracts for investment purposes. This has contributed to the divergence between Shariah and Common Law and caused tremendous problems and systemic legal risks to Islamic finance. The authors of Shariah Investment Agreement introduce a legal tool in the form of a Shariah Investment Agreement carefully drafted to ensure that it is Shariah-compliant and can be applied in Common Law jurisdictions as well, so as to allow for the execution of risk-sharing investment in Islamic finance. It details the building blocks and key considerations that must be noted when drafting such agreements so the investor and investee will know what to expect when entering into such a contract. Proper implementation of the Shariah Investment Agreement will pave a clear route to a harmonious convergence between Shariah and Common Law and lead to Islamic finance developing further to become a stronger, unstoppable force in the finance industry.

Download or read book The Chancellor Guide to the Legal and Shari a Aspects of Islamic Finance written by Humayon A. Dar and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented economic growth and wealth accumulation in predominately Muslim countries have prompted many financial institutions in the US and Europe to position their investment teams across the Middle East and Asia to be closer to the markets in which they invest, and to take advantage or asset-gathering opportunities. This growth has also encouraged an increasing number of western industrialised countries to adopt legislation that responds to the requirements of the Musli investment community. To be effective in these markets it is essential that professionals have an understanding of how Shari'a legal principles are applied in the financial sector. Failure to do so exposes them and their clients to potential financial, legal and reputational pitfalls. The Chancellor Guide to the Legal and Shari'a Aspects of Islamic Finance is the first professional reference to focus specifically on the legal dimension of Islamic Finance. The guide brings together nineteen Islamic Finance legal practitioners and advisers to provide a comprehensive yet practical legal perspective on the subject. Each contributor draws on several years' hands-on experience in Islamic Finance product development and advice to leading financial institutions to provide a real-world, contemporary assessment of the key legal issues in Islamic Finance. The guide's hands-on approach and accessible style make it required reading for everyone with a professional interest in Islamic Finance, be they lawyers, accountants, regulators, bankers or investors. It is also a unique reference for academic institutions worldwide.

Download or read book Islamic investments funds versus hedge Funds written by Adnan Siddiqi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-08-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: Sehr gut, University of Vienna (Universität Wien), course: Macro Economics and Finance, language: English, abstract: The literature discusses Islamic investment funds and hedge funds as isolated issues. At present not much work is known, comparing these two very prominent alternative investment forms. This thesis attempts to fill this gap by providing a first insight into both and also tries to answer the following question: Can Islamic investment funds catch up with hedge funds? For this, the thesis compares Islamic investment funds and hedge funds on the basis of different factors, trying to answer three sub questions: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Are there differences and/or similarities between the two? How can an investment portfolio including both be balanced? As will be seen throughout the thesis, Islamic investment funds provide a handfull of advantages over hedge funds, even enabling the former to outperform the latter. Hedge funds rely mainly on gaining advantage through market inefficiencies, hedging the market risk through short-term opportunities. This construction puts the fund manager into a high risk position with high profit potential. Despite investment restrictions under Islamic law, a fund manager is not prohibited from facilitating hedge funds by these restrictions. The main difference is that Islamic investments offer more risk control by cooperative arrangements. This characteristic enables an investor to cover the risk of hedge funds by investing in Islamic investment funds. Nevertheless, such differences raise the issue of whether it is sensible to invest solely in Islamic investment funds or hedge funds. [...]

This book was released on 2006 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews institutions offering Islamic financial services (IIFS) corporate governance challenges and suggests options to address them. It first points out the importance of corporate governance for IIFS, where it would require a distinct treatment from conventional corporate governance and highlights three cases of distress of IIFS. It then dwells on prevailing corporate governance arrangements addressing IIFS' needs to ensure the consistency of their operations with Islamic finance principles and the protection of the financial interests of a stakeholders' category, namely depositors holding unrestricted investment accounts. It raises the issues of independence, confidentiality, competence, consistency, and disclosure that may bear on pronouncements of consistency with Islamic finance principles. It also discusses the agency problem of depositors holding unrestricted investment accounts. The paper argues for a governance framework that combines internal and external arrangements and relies significantly on transparency and disclosure of market relevant information.

Download or read book Shariah Compliant Equity Investments written by Mohammed Husain Khatkhatay and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preferred Islamic investment format is equity. However equity comes along with ownership. Hence Islamic investors have to ensure that the selected company's activities and structuring are not repugnant to Shariah norms. Due to exigencies of modern business and particularly the pervasiveness of interest transactions, fully Shariah-compliant equities are extremely rare. So, Shariah scholars have arrived at minimum compliance criteria which, while excluding companies in gross violation, yet provide investors a reasonably wide choice of Shariah-compliant equities. The authors have reviewed and compared the norms set by three organizations. A critical and analytical assessment of the different criteria follows. Empirical data of the Bombay Stock Exchange is used to assess the impact of the different norms. Based on the empirical results and analytical arguments and in the backdrop of an Islamic perspective, an independent set of norms is proposed, which better reflect the objectives of formulating Shariah compliance norms.

Download or read book Corporate Governance and Shariah Compliance in Institutions Offering Islamic Financial Services written by Wafik Grais and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The structures and processes established within an institution offering Islamic financial Services (IIFS) for monitoring and evaluating Shariah compliance rely essentially on arrangements internal to the firm. By being incorporated in the institutional structure, a Shariah supervisory board (SSB) has the advantage of being close to the market. Competent, independent, and empowered to approve new Shariah-conforming instruments, an SSB can enable innovation likely to emerge within the institution. The paper reviews the issues and options facing current arrangements for ensuring Shariah compliance by IIFS. It suggests a framework that draws on internal and external arrangements to the firm and emphasizes market discipline. In issuing its fatwas, an SSB could be guided by standardized contracts and practices that could be harmonized by a self-regulatory professionals' association. A framework with the suggested internal and external features could ensure adequate consistency of interpretation and enhance the enforceability of contracts before civil courts. The review of transactions would mainly be entrusted to internal review units, which would collaborate with external auditors responsible for issuing an annual opinion on whether the institution's activities has met its Shariah requirements. This process would be sustained by reputable entities such as rating agencies, stock markets, financial media, and researchers who would channel signals to market players. This framework would enhance public understanding of the requirements of Shariah and lead to more effective options available to stakeholders to achieve improvements in Islamic financial services.
