PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

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.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES

Understand the essentials of Sukuk structuring principles
Assess how structuring principles are applied using real-life case studies
Understand how risks arise in Sukuk and how they are mitigated in practice

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.

Ken is a British Muslim.
