INTRODUCTION

In an Islamic capital market (ICM) market transactions are carried out in ways that do not conflict with the conscience of Muslims and the religion of Islam.

Here, there is assertion of religious law so that the market is free from activities prohibited by Islam such as usury (riba), gambling (maisir) and ambiguity (gharar).

INTRODUCTION The ICM is a component of the overall capital

market in Malaysia. It plays an important role in generating

economic growth for the country. The ICM functions as a parallel market to the

conventional capital market, and plays a complementary role to the Islamic banking system in broadening and deepening the Islamic financial markets in Malaysia.

Page 4: Islamic capital market

INTRODUCTION As the market became more complex and sophisticated, it

needed supportive infrastructure so that the system could operate and function more efficiently and effectively.

The SC's early initiative in setting up a dedicated Islamic Capital Market Department (ICMD) within its Strategy and Development Business Group was to provide the much needed infrastructure support.

The mandate of the ICMD is to carry out research and development activities including formulating and facilitating a long-term plan to further strengthen the ICM in Malaysia.

Overview Islamic investment equity funds market is one of the fastest-

growing sectors within the Islamic financial system. Currently, approximately 100 Islamic equity funds worldwide. The total assets managed through these funds currently

exceed US$5 billion and is growing by 12–15% per annum. Over the last few years, quite a number of funds have closed

down. Most of the funds tend to target high net worth individuals and corporate institutions, with minimum investments ranging from US$50,000 to as high as US$1 million.

Target markets for Islamic funds vary, some cater for their local markets, e.g., Malaysia and Gulf-based investment funds .

Conditions for Islamic funds1. Instead of a fixed return tied up with their face value,

they must carry a pro-rated profit earned or loss actually earned by the Fund. Therefore, neither the principal nor a rate of profit (tied up with the principal) can be guaranteed. Unless the loss by the negligence or mismanagement, the management will be liable to compensate it.

2. The pooled funds must be invested in a business acceptable to Shariah. It means that not only the channels of investment, but also the terms agreed with them must conform to the Islamic principles.

Future Market

Rosly (2005)- suggests that the future of an Islamic equity market will depend on the greater participation of Islamic bond issues and bank equity financing so that the capital structure has zero interest-bearing debt content.

Companies looking for capital should be given incentives to use equity rather than interest-bearing bonds. This can be done by treating dividend payouts as a tax-deductible expense.

Page 28: Islamic capital market

Future Market An Islamic financial system requires several vital

elements to qualify as a viable system, i.e.:- -A large number of players -A broad variety of instruments and -An Islamic Financial legal act or jurisdictions -A sufficient Islamic money and capital market

activities -A support from the government An Islamic financial system must also reflect the socio-

economic values in Islam, and must be Islamic in both substance and form.
