Title: Quantitative Islamic Finance
Call for Papers
Journal of Derivatives & Hedge Funds
Special Issue on: Quantitative Islamic Finance
Guest Editor: Dr. Omar Masood, Royal Business School, University of East London
Recent events have demonstrated the importance of prudent risk management in the global financial sector, more so to Islamic financial institutions. This is mainly due to the specific nature of risk to these institutions and the profit & loss sharing paradigm in Islamic finance.
As reported in KPMG (2007), in 2006 overall market growth in the Islamic finance sector has been estimated at 15-20% annually; although individual institutions have reported even higher growth. The total asset under management was estimated to be $500billion. These growths in Islamic finance have encouraged a number of global financial institutions (i.e. BNP Paribas, Citigroup, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and UBS) to introduce Islamic financial banking services to their client and customers.
