Structuring Islamic Repo & Hedging Instruments
A Three-Part, Online Program

Date:  14th - 16th November 2022

WHY THIS COURSE?

Islamic financial institutions face the same everyday risks as all other financial institutions – credit, market, operational and liquidity risk. However, with limitations being placed on the development and use of hedging tools to help manage key risks such as liquidity risk, Islamic financial institutions find themselves at a considerable disadvantage.

There are, however, solutions available. Shariah equivalents of hedging tools and repurchase agreements are achievable and are in widespread use today in various parts of the world. What are these products, what do they achieve, how are they deployed and how are they structured? These are common questions, that deserve clear and logical responses.

This 9-hour online program will provide you with a clear understanding of the issues and challenges at hand, with relevance to Islamic hedging and liquidity management and the development of Shariah compliant repos.

  • Key Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the Islamic finance market and what hedging tools are currently available.
    • Assess the challenges of hedging and liquidity management in the Islamic finance market.
    • Identify the work and position of key standard setters and regulators – AAOIFI, IIFM and IFSB – and what this means for market development.
    • Understand what Tahawwut is and why it is so important.
    • Evaluate structuring and Shariah issues for Islamic hedging tools.
    • Understand what repurchase agreements are and how Islamic alternatives can be structured and applied.
    • Discuss the practical technicalities of Shariah compliant repo and hedging.
