This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutual funds are one of the key contributors to the globalisation of financial markets and one of the main sources of capital flows to emerging economies. This study explores and measures the performance of global Islamic mutual funds through an econometric analysis. Specifically, this study conducted an empirical comparison of performances between Islamic, ethical, and conventional mutual funds using market indexes as benchmarks. In furthering the analyses, this study also explored the 'Ramadan Effect' and another comparison/or causality test between Islamic mutual funds and oil prices in the short/long run. Statistical techniques were used in analysing monthly net asset value (NAV), management fee, and Dow Jones Islamic market index (DJIMI), S&P 500 Index, FTSE4Good Global Index, MSCI AC World Index and oil prices include (i) the augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and the Phillips-Perron (PP) test; (ii) Granger causality; (iii) cointegration, and (iv)the Generalized Method of Moments Regression. Findings of the study demonstrate that oil price did not cause Islamic mutual fund's performance during the period covered, while Islamic mutual fund's performance causes oil prices. Since demand and supply equilibrium on oil is unpredictable and oil is considered both as an investment commodity and a fuel, the stock market leads oil prices. Results also show that there is no significant difference between the performance of Islamic mutual funds and those of ethical and conventional mutual funds and between the Islamic mutual funds and the well-known Islamic indices during the whole period or during the bullish or bearish periods.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Growth rate of investment in mutual funds has exceptionally increased over the last decade. Many studies have compared between the performances of conventional and Islamic mutual funds in the developed markets and only a few have studied emerging markets. The aim of this study is to focus on the investigation of the factors affecting and the performance of Islamic mutual funds in comparison with their conventional counterparts in Egypt as an emerging market in mutual funds generally and Islamic mutual funds specially. The main objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the financial performance of Islamic mutual funds (IMFs) in comparison with the conventional mutual funds (CMFs). Risk and return relationship is evaluated relative to market benchmark over an 8-year period from January 2006 to December 2013 divided into pre-financial crisis phase (27 months), during financial crisis phase (45 months) and post-financial crisis phase (24 months). The data covers 34 mutual funds from Egypt, consisting of 9 Islamic mutual funds (IMFs) and 25 Conventional mutual funds (CMFs) covering only open-end equity funds for the purpose of standardization and relativity of the comparison. The analysis focuses on risk and return performance, and the impact of funds attributes including age, size, objective, systematic risk and total risk. The study employs Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen models as risk-adjusted performance measures. The study concludes that the performance of IMFs is not significantly different from the CMFs counterparts in the pre-financial crisis phase, during the financial crisis phase, or the post-financial crisis phase. Both IMFs and CMFs outperformed the market index (EGX30) in the pre-Financial Crisis phase and the post-Financial Crisis phase but underperformed the market index during the Financial Crisis phase. Moreover, both IMFs and CMFs outperformed the T-bill rate in the pre-Financial Crisis phase but underperformed the T-bill rate during the Financial Crisis phase and the postFinancial Crisis phase. Total risk and systematic risk significantly affect the performance of mutual funds. Income & Growth objective is an important variable that is accompanied by an increase in the performance of the fund. Growth objective and Age also play significant roles in interpreting the performance of mutual funds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a sample of Islamic and conventional mutual funds managed by HSBC, the fourth largest fund manager in Saudi Arabia, from January 2003 to January 2010, we examine their risk-return behavior by employing a number of performance measures such as Sharpe, Treynor, Jensen Alpha and their variants. We divide the sample period in four segments such as full period, bull period, bearish period and financial crisis period to analyze further if these two funds performance differ from each other. We also examine the market timing and selectivity of HSBC managers of their portfolio performance. We find that Islamic funds underperform Conventional funds during full period and bullish period, but they overperform conventional funds during bearish and financial crisis period. Such results are consistent with prior studies with other Islamic and conventional mutual funds. HSBC managers are good at showing timing and selectivity for Islamic funds during bearish period, and for conventional funds during bullish period. One important portfolio lesson from this case study is that Islamic mutual funds do offer hedging opportunity for investors during economic downturns because of the restrictions that Islamic law imposes on portfolio selection.

Download or read book Mutual Fund Investment in Emerging Markets written by Graciela Kaminsky and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do mutual funds behave when they invest in emerging economies? For one thing, mutual funds' flows are not stable. Withdrawals from emerging markets during recent crises were large, which squares with existing evidence of financial contagion.International mutual funds are one of the main channels for capital flows to emerging economies. Although mutual funds have become important contributors to financial market integration, little is known about their investment allocation and strategies. Kaminsky, Lyons, and Schmukler provide an overview of mutual fund activity in emerging markets.First, they describe international mutual funds' relative size, asset allocation, and country allocation.Second, they focus on fund behavior during crises, by analyzing data at the level of both investors and fund managers.Among their findings: Equity investment in emerging markets has grown rapidly in the 1990s, much of it flowing through mutual funds. Collectively, these funds hold a sizable share of market capitalization in emerging economies. Asian and Latin American funds achieved the fastest growth, but are smaller than domestic U.S. funds and world funds.When investing abroad, U.S. mutual funds invest more in equity than in bonds. World funds invest mainly in developed nations (Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States). Ten percent of their investment is in Asia and Latin America. Mutual funds usually invest in a few countries within each region.Mutual fund investment was very responsive to the crises of the 1990s. Withdrawals from emerging markets during recent crises were large, which squares with existing evidence of financial contagion.Investments in Asian and Latin American mutual funds are volatile. Because redemptions and injections are large relative to total funds under management, funds' flows are not stable. The cash held by managers during injections and redemptions does not fluctuate significantly, so investors' actions are typically reflected in emerging market inflows and outflows.This paper - a product of Macroeconomics and Growth, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to understand the operation of financial markets and the effects of financial globalization. The study was funded by the Bank's Research Support Budget under the research project quot;Mutual Funds in Emerging Markets.quot; The authors may be contacted at [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade investing in financial markets of emerging countries has become increasingly popular. In this paper we examine the performance of equity and bond mutual funds that invest primarily in the emerging markets. Our results indicate that emerging market stock funds generally under perform their benchmarks, whereas bond funds perform just as well as their benchmarks. We also find that the performance and diversification benefits of emerging markets funds are conditional on U.S. monetary policy. Emerging market funds perform better during periods of restrictive monetary policy, i.e., when the Federal Reserve raises the discount rate. The results of this paper have implications for investors and pension plan sponsors.

Download or read book Handbook of Islamic Banking written by Kabir Hassan and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Islamic Banking comprises 25 studies by leading international experts on Islamic banking and finance specially commissioned to analyse the various debates and the current state of play in the field. From its origins thirty years ago, Islamic banking has expanded rapidly to become a distinctive and fast growing segment of the international banking and capital markets. Despite this expansion, Islamic banking still remains poorly understood in many parts of the Muslim world and continues to be a mystery in much of the West. This comprehensive Handbook provides a succinct analysis of the workings of Islamic banking and finance, accessible to a wide range of readers. At the same time, it seeks to bring the current research agenda and the main issues on Islamic banking before a wider audience. Islamic banking offers, as an alternative to conventional interest-based financing methods, a wide variety of financial instruments and investment vehicles based on profit-and-loss sharing arrangements. These are all explored in detail along with other subjects such as governance and risk management, securities and investment, structured financing, accounting and regulation, economic development and globalization. M. Kabir Hassan, Mervyn Lewis and the other contributors have created an authoritative and original reference work, which will contribute to a wider understanding of Islamic banking as well as provoking further discussion and research. It will be invaluable to all scholars, researchers and policymakers with an interest in this subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stability of Islamic Finance main focus is on the question of the sources of financial instability which seems inherent in the conventional system. As a core component of this focus, the book will consider episodes of turbulence and instability in a historical context recalling the occurrence of such events from mid-19th century to the present. It will present various theoretical explanations along with solutions and alternative financial systems that avoid instability provided by various scholars dating back to mid-19th century to present. The book then will present and discuss the architecture of an Islamic financial system and show that at its core, this system shares many characteristics of an stable financial system proposed by Western scholars throughout history to avoid the inherent instability of the present dominant system. Particular emphasis will be placed on the present financial crisis and its causes as well the financial crisis of the 1997 in Southeast Asia, Russia, and Latin America relating these episodes to the fundamental features of the dominant system. The debt crisis of the low income countries will also be part of this discussion. It will then argue that these crises could be mitigated under an Islamic system or any other system with similar architecture.

Fully updated from the first edition, this book covers key new developments such as fixed income attribution, attribution of derivative instruments and alternative investment strategies, leverage and short positions, risk-adjusted performance measures for hedge funds plus updates on presentation standards. The book covers the mathematical aspects of the topic in an accessible and practical way, making this book an essential reference for anyone involved in asset management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Capital Flows provides analyses that can help policymakers develop a framework for managing capital flows that is consistent with prudent macroeconomic and financial sector stability. While capital inflows can provide emerging market economies with invaluable benefits in pursuing economic development and growth, they can also pose serious policy challenges for macroeconomic management and financial sector supervision. The expert contributors cover a wide range of issues related to managing capital flows and analyze the experience of emerging Asian economies in dealing with surges in capital inflows. They also discuss possible policy measures to manage capital flows while remaining consistent with the goals of macroeconomic and financial sector stability. Building on this analysis, the book presents options for workable national policies and regional policy cooperation, particularly in exchange rate management. Containing chapters that bring in international experiences relevant to Asia and other emerging market economies, this insightful book will appeal to policymakers in governments and financial institutions, as well as public and private finance experts. It will also be of great interest to advanced students and academic researchers in finance.
