...views at this Forum. 2. Much has been said and continues to be said about the foothold which Islamic finance has gained in the international financial landscape. A range of proof points support this contention and justify further projections of the growth trajectory of Islamic finance in the coming decades. Page 1 of 9 We have achieved double-digit growth rates for various components of Islamic finance including sukuk, fund management and Islamic banking, whether at the national, regional or international levels. Additionally there has been increasing acceptance of Islamic finance not only in the Muslim-majority countries but also in certain predominantly non-Muslim jurisdictions. We have also witnessed the growing size of funds seeking Shariah-compliant investments and the increasing participation of multi-national corporations, multi-lateral institutions and conventional institutions in sukuk issuances. 3. It is not my intention today to revisit the benefits of Islamic finance or restate the pre-conditions for its further growth. As I have alluded to, these are welldocumented and well-known to all. Instead I would like to share my thoughts on just two aspects of Islamic finance which make up the theme of our Forum this year – the concept of risk-sharing and of public good. These two aspects of Islamic finance are often over-looked or perhaps under-valued. 4. Islamic finance started as an industry within the conventional framework based on adapted...

...Influenced by my mother, who works in a bank, I have been interested in finance since I was a child. Even though I was unable to take Finance as a major in my undergraduate studies because I missed the standard for that topic by a single point in my college entrance examination, I still kept my enthusiasm for Finance and gradually developed a keen interest in the topic of Carbon Finance and Carbon Trading. As part of my research into Carbon Finance, I was very interested to discover that it is partly based on ideas about accounting for social costs developed by Ronald Coase more than fifty years ago. In Chinese financial institutions there is a shortage of professional consultants who can analyze and evaluate local companies in the potential area of carbon trading. I hope to become a professional consultant in Carbon Finance industry when I graduate. In this way, not only can I maximize profit for companies, but also to make use of my skills in analysis to protect the environment. Starting with my love of finance, I have paid more attention to learning Financial Management. In a recent team project it was a big challenge for our team to analyze a company’s operational performance based only on pages of financial statements, especially as everything was in English. In order to perfect our report, we looked over textbooks to study different financial statements, searched until midnight for suitable theories in the library and applied those theories to our case. When we finished...

...Limits to Arbitrage: Saint Leo University- Chesapeake, Virginia Corporate Finance: MBA 570 Professor Smith April 23, 2014 Abstract Arbitrage is the idea of buying asset which involves no negative cash flow and making a profit with little or no risk. Understanding arbitrage opportunities is not the only ingredient needed to make sharp predictions. The level of irrationality need to be specified by behavior finance researchers. This is related to how they deviate from the Subjective Expected Utility theory. In order to specify the type of irrationality, researchers have turned to experimental evidence complied by cognitive psychologists on the biases that arise when people form beliefs, and on the people’s preferences, given their beliefs or on how they make decisions, Thaler and Barberis (2002). In this paper, we will concentrate on the extensive literature on the Limits to Arbitrage and explain how the theory was conceived, how it evolved over time and apply a scenario to better explain the research.

...several definitions of behavioural finance exist, there is considerable agreement between them. According to Lintner, “Behavioural finance is the study of how humans interpret and act on information to make informed investment decisions.” Olsen opines that ‘behavioural finance does not try to define ‘rational’ behaviour or label decision making as biased or faulty; it seeks to understand and predict systematic financial market implications of psychological decision processes.’ It should be noted that no unified theory of behavioural finance exists at this time. Behavioural finance is based on research of human and social recognition and emotional tolerance studies to identify and understand incoming economic decisions. Behaviour finance examines recognition and emotional factors influence on the market changes and concentrates on the limited human rationality, explains the psychology effect on the financial activities and argues that financial phenomena can be better explained due to the fact that financial market participants are not rational and their decisions are...

...INTRODUCTION No business functions without finance. For there to be business concern therefore, there must be money. Development has however, changed the business operations in the capital globalize markets. People invest in business to make returns. It is therefore imperative for an individual to invest as well as institutional investors. Prior to development in capital markets, individual investors used to make their own investment decisions. But all these are changed now as individual investors have been replaced by institutional investors. This is also known as shareholding. Institutional investors play a very enviable role in corporate governance since the primary responsibility lies in side the board room, with the top management not with people and system imposed from outside. Looking at Board of Directors and investors, investors are seen as “sources of finance” or “partners in the enterprise”. This means that shareholders are seen as faceless, financial resource whose trust may be limited and need for checks and balances real? Or are they part of the business? Companies do take advice and guidance from their institutional shareholder in domestic and foreign business growth decisions (Stuffman 2008). This takes us to Hermes Fund Management, an institutional investment Corporation, which plays a strategic role in the activities of Total and Premier Oil. Total and Premier Oil has sought assistance from Hermes in managing business concern in Burma. This case study...

...WP/04/01 Bank of Uganda Working Paper Recognising the Role of Micro Finance Institutions in Uganda Justine Nannyonjo and James Nsubuga _________________________________ Bank of Uganda 2 WP/04/01 BOU Working PAPER Research Department Recognising the Role of Micro Finance Institutions in Uganda By Justine Nannyonjo and James Nsubuga February 2004 Abstract This paper shows that micro finance is an important part of the growth strategy in Uganda and has in the recent years gained increasing recognition. This is evidenced by initiatives and strong commitment by government, donors and practitioners towards supporting micro finance activities in Uganda, and the rapid expansion of the micro finance industry. Integration of Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) into the formal financial system has been established, while measures have been taken to build capacity and enhance coordination in the micro finance industry, as well as expand the outreach of sustainable micro finance. The paper, however, identifies a number of challenges to the development of the micro finance industry: There is need to strengthen the capacity of MFIs to build their management information systems, and to rebuild infrastructure in underserved areas as well as strengthen capacity for identifying potential market structures, which could serve as the basis on which to build sustainable micro finance services. Other challenges include restoring peace in conflict areas and strengthening...

...and channeling resources In the present day socio-economic scenario, the leasing companies have been continuously playing an increased role in financing industry, trade and commerce and housing, thereby contributing significantly to the economic development of the country. The leasing sector has contributed significantly over the years, despite several constraints. With the challenges of time, the overall growth of the leasing business achieved through diversification of products and services and aggressive marketing with special focus on the SME sector, is indicative of the industry’s contribution to our national economy. It is worth mentioning that, within two decades; the leasing companies have emerged as an alternative source of finance and well sought after arm for credit for SMEs. In order to catch up with the demands of time, most leasing companies have diversified their products and services into other areas like small loans, housing loans, start-up working capital and domestic factoring of accounts receivable. Further to reducing dependence on traditional borrowings from banks for meeting their working capital requirements, some of them have already introduced new financial instruments like Bonds, Securitization of Assets, Syndication Services, Merchant Banking, Stock Brokerage Services, etc which have set new trends for others to follow. 1.2 Objective of the Report There had been some objectives set forward in doing this report so that it can be determined...

...The Influence of Internet Finance for SME Financing in China Introduction Currently, SME (Small And Medium-size enterprises) is the foundation of promoting national economy development, constructing the subject of market economy and promoting the development of social stability in China (Wang, 2011). In recent years, the economic situation has experienced dramatic change and this huge variation stimulates financing needs of SMEs in China greatly.
