The future of Islamic structured products This is an interesting time for Islamic investment. Islamic structured products have been hyped for about two years but only now are investors starting to acknowledge these new solutions and are actually trading them as part of their investment portfolios. Despite the constraints imposed by the Sharia, creative solutions are being found to enlarge the palette of financial instruments available to investors. “The market grows not just in figures and liquidity but in significant sophistication of the product range," says Christian Kwek, global head of equity derivatives institutional sales at BNP Paribas.
With a lot of new opportunities arising, new entrants are knocking at the door but may find it difficult to put together the appropriate set-up to generate and market Sharia structured products. BNP Paribas has been expecting such growth and is ready to serve the needs of the demanding Islamic market, being one of the first banks to dedicate significant structuring, marketing and legal resources to this exciting area of development of its equities and derivatives business.
