Sukuk Update and
Funds Investment Reports
While the overall economic
environment continues to
remain tough, 2009 saw signs
of recovery in global
financial markets. Islamic
equity, sukuk and commodity
funds also posted gains
during this period and in
the first quarter of 2010.
|
However, fund assets
under management
remained stagnant at
US$52 billion from
2008 as the number
of funds liquidated
during 2009 almost
equaled those
incepted. It is a
cause for concern
for the Islamic
funds industry as
the participation of
retail investor
remains negligible.
In 2010 and beyond,
Islamic asset
managers must
respond to an
investor-driven
world in order to
sustain themselves
in the long run.
Key points on sukuks
managers’ priority
list:
►Achieve scale to
ensure long term
sustainability –over
55% of Islamic fund
managers currently
manage less than US$
50 million each,
which is
commercially
unsustainable in the
medium term and
demands serious
re-evaluation of
business strategy.
►Diversify into new
asset classes to
improve performance
and better match
investors’ needs
–equities remain the
predominant asset
class for Islamic
investment funds
with little focus on
new product
development.
►Adopt flexible
business models
–given the
continuing difficult
market conditions,
strategic alliances,
fee structures,
distribution
arrangements and
costs should be
re-assessed.
►Regain investor
confidence through
increased
transparency,
frequent investor
communication and
proactive risk
management.

Banking in 2012
Basle III Precepts; Risk
Management And Profitability
Ratios
Basel
III requires banks to hold more
capital than actually needed in
their buffer requirements. That
won't be easy for rich country
banks, given that growth
prospects are dim in the medium
term and markets are under
stress; however the process will
require them to do what they are
already doing, namely, meet
capital norms by shrinking their
balance sheets.
