About The Seminar

The Sukuk market has evolved significantly in the last 20 years. Total annual issuance in 2017 was $100 Billion, whilst Sukuk have been issued with maturities extending to 40 years. New and exciting structures have emerged to address the economic and financial needs of both Sukuk originators as well as Sukuk investors. Sukuk structures innovated to satisfy the needs of these communities are diverse. For example, Sukuk have been created which fulfill bank regulatory capital requirements. Sukuk have also been used to monetize intangible assets such as telecommunications airtime, and the rights to charge and collect fees from airlines.

This course provides an in-depth learning experience that directly benefits practitioners. It starts by first considering how Sukuk can be structured to satisfy the financial performance and risk objectives of originators and investors. It evaluates a plethora of features that can be incorporated into Sukuk structures to achieve target return performance within an established risk tolerance, as well as delivering financial flexibility and adherence to Shari’a requirements at the same time. It then undertakes case study analysis of Sukuk structures that span the entire market, basing classroom discussion around the motivations underlying the structures, and explaining their financial intricacies from origination through to dissolution / maturity.

The course will include a high level of interactive discussion, thorough instruction in Sukuk structuring principles, and the application of these principles to create novel Sukuk structures successfully sold into the market during the last 10 years. Knowledge gained by delegates from the course is directly applicable in practice.

  • Recognize the underlying risks in Sukuk and the methods to reduce those risks
  • Examine the application of Sukuk structuring principles to actual Sukuk issuances

Dr Ken Baldwin 
Former Director Financial Policies & Planning, Islamic Development Bank

Dr. Ken Baldwin has worked as a practitioner in banking and finance for over 25 years in senior positions spanning the front and middle offices. Having graduated from Oxford University with a first-class honors degree in Physics in 1989, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC, before joining UBS, and then later Credit Suisse, in derivatives risk and control functions based in London.

He gained a PhD in the microeconomic theory of risk sharing in Islamic contracts, and worked in the GCC for 15 years in Islamic retail and Islamic investment banks. Whilst at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dr. Ken built an ALM analytic technology platform capable of capturing liquidity and interest rate risks inherent in the many varied Islamic financing products used at retail and corporate levels. He then moved to take up the position of MENA Regional Head of Quantitative Analysis for Citigroup. At Citicorp, Dr. Ken worked on structuring complex products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest risks. Still residing in Bahrain, Dr. Ken then joined Investcorp, where he worked on the risk due diligence of corporate private equity and real estate private equity transactions and portfolio management. After leaving Investcorp, he set up the risk management department for venture capital bank, providing Basel III compliance and deal analysis for the bank. He then operationalized a new Islamic investment bank as its Chief Operating Officer for 3 years, before his most recent industry role at the Islamic Development Bank, where he set up and ran a new department tasked with developing Financial Policies and Planning underpinned by robust financial analytic tools and methodologies designed specifically for the IDB. Dr. Ken is currently a senior university lecturer in finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Risk, and during his earlier career, taught CFA and FRM professional certifications as a pastime for the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance.
