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.
Book Synopsis The Effects of the Global Crisis on Islamic and Conventional Banks by : Jemma Dridi
Download or read book The Effects of the Global Crisis on Islamic and Conventional Banks written by Jemma Dridi and published by . This book was released on 2005-10-31 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the performance of Islamic banks (IBs) and conventional banks (CBs) during the recent global crisis by looking at the impact of the crisis on profitability, credit and asset growth, and external ratings in a group of countries where the two types of banks have significant market share. Our analysis suggests that IBs have been affected differently than CBs. Factors related to IBs‘ business model helped limit the adverse impact on profitability in 2008, while weaknesses in risk management practices in some IBs led to a larger decline in profitability in 2009 compared to CBs. IBs‘ credit and asset growth performed better than did that of CBs in 2008-09, contributing to financial and economic stability. External rating agencies‘ re-assessment of IBs‘ risk was generally more favorable.
Book Synopsis Islamic Versus Conventional Mutual Funds Performance in Saudi Arabia by : Hesham Merdad
Download or read book Islamic Versus Conventional Mutual Funds Performance in Saudi Arabia written by Hesham Merdad and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 37 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Comparison of the Performance of Islamic Mutual Funds Vs. Ethical and Conventional Mutual Funds by : Faleh M. F. E. Alrashidi
Download or read book Comparison of the Performance of Islamic Mutual Funds Vs. Ethical and Conventional Mutual Funds written by Faleh M. F. E. Alrashidi and published by . 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.
Book Synopsis Factors Affecting Islamic and Conventional Mutual Funds' Returns. A Comparative Analysis of Different Classes of Funds in Pakistan by : Imran Ahmed
Download or read book Factors Affecting Islamic and Conventional Mutual Funds' Returns. A Comparative Analysis of Different Classes of Funds in Pakistan written by Imran Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to analyze and investigates the factors influencing returns of Islamic and conventional mutual funds in Pakistan. More specifically this study aims to investigate whether macroeconomic and systematic factors affect Shariah compliant Equity, Income and assets allocation mutual funds differently as compared their conventional counterparts. Different statistical techniques like correlation and regression analysis were applied to study their effect. Study concluded that macro-economic factors have impact on both conventional and Islamic mutual funds however their impact seems to be insignificant at large. Overall funds behaved negatively with discount rate, inflation and GDP, whereas positively with trade and market index. Apart from income funds that were affected positively with discount rate. Furthermore, income funds were not affected by market index. Moreover, inflation and GDP that is usually backed by higher interest rates, also effect negatively overall returns. There was no significant difference in the behavior among the Islamic and conventional funds with respect to the above-mentioned factors. Lastly, there was high correlation among both the equity and asset allocation based mutual funds (both Islamic and conventional). It was also found that asset allocation funds had close resemblance to equity-based funds as compared to income-based funds in term of factors influencings their returns this suggested that most of the asset allocation funds have more portion of equity as compared to debt and could be consider highly risky. Hence, they seem to be against Modern portfolio theory Markowitz (1952) presuming it to be in a minimum level of risk.
Book Synopsis Performance Evaluation of Islamic Mutual Funds Relative to Conventional Funds by : Dawood Ashraf
Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Islamic Mutual Funds Relative to Conventional Funds written by Dawood Ashraf and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saudi Arabia constitutes more than 20% of the global Islamic capital market. More than 80% of the mutual funds listed on Saudi Arabian stock market are Shari'ah compliant funds. This article reviews and extends previous research on the performance of Islamic mutual funds (IMFs) by evaluating the relative performance of IMFs and conventional funds during the global economic crisis from April 2007 to June 2011 in the context of the Saudi Arabian capital market. Standard CAPM regression and Treynor and Mazuy (1966) models are used to compare the market timing and stock selection abilities of IMFs and conventional funds by using monthly returns data on 159 mutual funds listed on the Saudi Arabian stock market from 2007 to 2011. The empirical results provide evidence of better performance of IMFs relative to conventional funds during the economic crisis. In addition, although, there is no evidence of relative superiority in market timing ability, managers of IMFs appears to have better stock selection ability during the economic crisis. The combination of superior stock selection ability of IMFs and the negative market timing ability of conventional funds suggests that IMFs offer better hedging opportunity to investors during periods of economic downturn. All investors, regardless of ethical or religious orientation, can enjoy the benefit of hedging by holding a proportion of investment portfolio in IMFs. Similarly, managers of conventional funds can improve the risk adjusted performance by following similar screening criteria as IMFs during economic slowdowns.

Book excerpt: This study investigates the impact of corporate governance index and earnings management on firms' performance and makes a comparative analysis of the selected Islamic and conventional financial institutions in Pakistan for the period of 2005-2015. Data of 20 KSE listed Islamic financial institutions (i.e., a few Islamic banks and mostly mud. ̄arabah companies), and 35 KSE listed conventional financial institutions (i.e., conventional banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, and investment companies) have been used for analysis.

The study finds that the corporate governance structure of conventional financial institutions is sound as compared to Islamic financial institutions. The study also concluded that the manipulation for earnings management is less in Islamic financial institutions as compared to conventional financial institutions in Pakistan. Therefore, it does not affect firm's performance of Islamic financial institutions whereas the results of conventional financial institutions indicate that the manipulation of earnings management has an impact on their performance. Results of this study suggest that compliance with corporate governance practices is equally significant for both Islamic and conventional financial institutions.

Book Synopsis An Overview of Islamic Finance by : Mr.Mumtaz Hussain
Download or read book An Overview of Islamic Finance written by Mr.Mumtaz Hussain and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic finance has started to grow in international finance across the globe, with some concentration in few countries. Nearly 20 percent annual growth of Islamic finance in recent years seems to point to its resilience and broad appeal, partly owing to principles that govern Islamic financial activities, including equity, participation, and ownership. In theory, Islamic finance is resilient to shocks because of its emphasis on risk sharing, limits on excessive risk taking, and strong link to real activities. Empirical evidence on the stability of Islamic banks, however, is so far mixed. While these banks face similar risks as conventional banks do, they are also exposed to idiosyncratic risks, necessitating a tailoring of current risk management practices. The macroeconomic policy implications of the rapid expansion of Islamic finance are far reaching and need careful considerations.

By using panel data, the sample of Pakistan's locally managed equity and fixed-income funds are considered comprised of 21 individual conventional and Islamic funds from equity and fixed income category respectively from 2009 to 2018. The results provide evidence that Islamic investors have different factors when choosing funds in comparison with conventional investors. The study finds that the key factor influencing the fund flows is the management expense ratio, return, and fund size. This study also shows that all the conventional and Islamic fund characteristics of equity and fixed-income funds are positively related to fund flows except management expense ratio and fund age, which have negative relationship with fund flows. The empirical findings of this paper clearly call for fund managers and investors to review their investment policy as this paper help fund managers to maintain a balanced amongst the factors so as to ensure maximization of its return, benefiting both; Mutual Fund managers and investors. The results could also provide better information and guidance for investors as well as policy-makers on the factors that affect the fund flow for Pakistan Islamic and conventional equity and fixed-income funds.
