Comparison against different

asset classes Key similarities Key differences

Banking (deposit-financing) products

• A form of banking intermediation with banks playing significant roles to match between sources and users of fund

• Banks need to monitor progress of underlying ventures to facilitate disbursement of funds

• Investors are able to choose specific ventures to invest/ finance (supported by suitability assessment by banks), rather than financing decision made by banks from pooled deposits

• Principal not guaranteed • Risk and return to investors are directly tied to underlying

ventures/projects • IAP allows funding to viable ventures which do not fit bank’s

normal financing profile (e.g. those with lack of track record or collateral) but with viable projects

Crowd-funding/ Crowd-sourcing/ Peer-to-peer funding

Investors are able to choose specific ventures to invest/ finance from an internet-based platform

IAP involves intermediation by banks which provide pivotal roles in the transactions including sponsoring viable ventures to be floated on IAP and monitoring progress of ventures

Private equity/ Venture capital

Investors are able to choose specific ventures to invest/ finance

• Investment under PE/VC is in shares of a company whereas IA is to provide financing of viable ventures/projects

• Target investors for PE/VC are institutional and HNW investors, whereas IAP is also opened to retail investors

Shares (including listed shares)

• Investors are able to choose specific companies to invest

• Listing of wide range of investment options on an exchange

• Investment under IAP is to provide financing of viable ventures/projects

• Companies listed on a stock exchange are established companies, whereas target ventures in IAP initially are financing to SMEs

Bond/Sukuk • Investors are able to choose specific securities to invest

• Listing of wide range of investment options on an exchange

• Bonds/sukuk are usually issued by established companies, whereas target ventures in IAP initially are financing to SMEs

Unit trust Return to investors are tied to performance of underlying assets

Underlying assets for UT are usually securities and on portfolio basis, whereas IAP investments are SME financing and are done individually

MALAYSIA TAKES LEAD PROTECTING SHARIAH DEPOSITS

Strategic Management & Managing Director’s Office

Page 34

By Elffie Chew Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Malaysia is taking the lead in the Islamic banking world by tightening the classification of deposits and offering government guarantees to protect savers. Shariah-compliant lenders have until June to comply with the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 giving investors the option to choose how their cash is used. The measure is aimed at increasing transparency for customers who may want to put money either in safer deposits or free it up for investment under laws that prohibit interest payments and encourage risk sharing. “The introduction of the Islamic Financial Services Act is aimed at providing greater regulatory clarity and promoting Islamic financial stability,” Hizamuddin Jamalluddin, head of strategic planning at Kuala Lumpur-based Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd., said in e-mail interview yesterday. “The move is timely as customers are mature enough to differentiate between deposits and risk-based investments.” The act may impact the level of deposits in the short term as it will take time for customers to familiarize themselves with the ruling, according to CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd., which has complied with the new regulation and saw growth ease to 7 percent in 2013 from 15 percent a year earlier. Islamic deposits in the nation’s $110 billion Shariah-compliant banking industry rose 5 percent in the first six months of 2014, slowing from the average 18 percent annually in the past five years.

MALAYSIA TAKES LEAD PROTECTING SHARIAH DEPOSIT…cont

Strategic Management & Managing Director’s Office

Taking Initiative Bank Negara Malaysia is the first monetary authority in the world to implement such a rule for Islamic banks as it seeks to enhance its status as a Shariah financing hub. The country tightened its oversight of stocks last year to better reflect Koranic principles, opening the door to more funds from the Middle East. The new ruling is positive as it will encourage innovation, said Hizamuddin at Bank Islam, the nation’s largest lender operating under religious tenets. The bank is looking to boost deposits by improving how it caters to customers’ various needs and risk profiles, he said. Wadiah and Qard type deposits are guaranteed under the legislation. The former is where permission for the usage of the cash has to be given by the depositor, while the latter usually applies to more wealthy individuals and is a form of loan to the bank that must be free of profit. Deposits under the Shariah concept of Musyharakah, or a partnership with profit or loss-sharing implications, will be deemed as investment accounts and won’t be protected. The same applies to the Mudarabah and Wakalah systems. Mudarabah is a joint investing arrangement, while Wakalah is an agreement between two parties for a certain business undertaking.
