Sukuk Structuring and Risk Date: 23rd & 24th March 2021
WHY THIS COURSE? The Sukuk market has evolved significantly in the last 20 years. New and exciting structures have emerged to address the economic and financial interests of both Sukuk originators as well as Sukuk investors. However, a tension exists between this objective and conformity with Shariah principles. To satisfy market demand, many Sukuk instruments are structured to provide cash returns resembling conventional products. Some financial obligations within these structures may not only compromise a stricter application of Shariah principles, but impact Sukuk risks in ways that are generally less well understood. This online program provides delegates with an invaluable opportunity to understand how Sukuk products are structured and how risks are created due to the financial profile of underlying assets as well as the Sukuk structure itself. Delegates will also learn how, and why, Sukuk are viewed differently by various important stake holders in the Sukuk market, for example ratings analysts, investors, and origination teams. The program will include a high level of interactive discussion, analysis of case studies, and thorough instruction in the treatment of Sukuk for structuring and risk management purposes. Knowledge gained from the program is directly applicable in practice. 1 participant: RM1,450/$375 Early Payment Discount: Payments made on or before 15th March 2021 will receive a 7.5% discount.
