[quote]Islamic Capital Markets  workshop taught at your institution

Course Tutor

Brian Kettell M.Sc. (Econ)

Announcing an intensive 2/3 day workshop covering 
the most important elements of Islamic Capital 
Markets - to be taught in -house.

The  Sharia  compliant  investment  industry  has 
  experienced  a  phenomenal 
growth  over  the  last  5  years.  From 
practically  being  non-existent  a 
decade  ago  the  industry  is  now  worth  over 
$100  billion. There  is  over 
$800  billion  of  reserves  that  needs  to  be 
invested  in  accordance  with 
Shariah  principles  and  the  Sukuk  market, in 
particular,  has  been  reaping  the  benefit of  this  liquidity.

Islamic capital markets have experienced 
phenomenal growth in recent years as investors 
clamour for Shariah-compliant exposures across 
the full range of asset classes , from equities 
and bonds, to securitisation, bank 
finance,  derivatives, private equity, commodities and Islamic funds.

This workshop will provide an in-depth 
understanding of Islamic capital markets and the 
workings of Islamic securities. In particular the 
intricacies of applying Sharia law to the 
evolution of capital markets will be stressed. It 
will look at how the Islamic capital market 
continues to develop and open up new structures. 
Participants will gain a greater understanding of 
the dynamics of Islamic finance, as well as the 
procedures for issuing and investing in Islamic 
securities: why they were introduced, who issues 
them, how this is done and what is the market demand for them.

This Islamic capital markets workshop is one of 
the very few events  focusing exclusively on the 
Islamic capital markets and is a must-attend for 
players across the entire capital markets 
spectrum for both Islamic and conventional banks, 
private equity houses, project financiers, 
institutional investors and hedge funds.

The workshop will explore the latest trends and 
developments in this rapidly growing sector and 
offer forward-looking insights into key Islamic 
capital markets issues. The  drivers for the 
current interest in Islamic investing will be discussed throughout.

Key issues discussed include:
    * To what extent are schools of Islamic 
thought converging towards a consistent view of 
Shariah-compliant capital markets?
    * What are the advantages, as well as the 
essential limitations of sukuk as a fund raising and investment vehicle?
    * The Malaysian model versus the GCC model of Sharia compliance
    * Opportunties, risks and pitfalls in Islamic asset and fund management
    * The Shariah compliant hedge fund and Islamic securitisation
The runaway success of Sukuk and its asset-backed 
nature have established a completely new asset 
class which has combined Sharia compliance with 
returns competitive with that of their conventional counterparts.

The development of the Islamic finance industry 
has been staggering and the Sukuk instrument has 
found immense appetite within non-Islamic financial jurisdictions.

Case studies and exercises are emphasized throughout the workshop

The workshop is specifically targeted at:
    * Commercial and Investment Bankers
    * Private Bankers
    * Analysts
    * Portfolio Managers
    * Lawyers
    * Investment Advisors
    * Regulators
