Islamic Derivative Instruments

Islamic Derivative Instruments
A Two-Part Online Training Program

Date: 12^th & 13^th January 2021

COURSE INTRODUCTION

WHY THIS COURSE?

Since their inception, Islamic derivatives have received mixed reviews. Some Islamic banks avoid them, whilst others have embraced them. These products remain controversial, although the trend is moving towards more widespread acceptance. Islamic banks which can take advantage of their powerful risk management potential to transfer-away unwanted risks, whilst controlling their use for legitimate purposes, are able to achieve higher risk-adjusted returns by focusing on their core activities, including most importantly, the provision of credit.

This course is primarily for Islamic bankers, but also conventional bankers looking to structure Shariah compliant instruments. The program provides a clear understanding of how Islamic derivatives are structured, and how they are priced, executed and governed. The course will be highly valuable for Islamic bankers whose roles require a thorough appreciation and working knowledge of these products, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of how Islamic derivatives are applied in practice to manage risk, and/or to generate income.

The course will also include a high level of interactive discussion, analysis of examples and case studies, and thorough instruction in multiple aspects of Islamic derivatives with learnings that can be applied immediately.

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR

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.
