Is a venture capitalist a practitioner of Musyarakah? Derivatives vs. Arkanul Bai’, Are Mortgage Backed Securities Syariah compliant? Are Credit Default Swaps Islamic? Did the Sub Prime Crisis open a window of demand for Islamic investment products? Is the Islamic Equity Capital Market ready for the upsurge in demand?

Are all Preference Shares acceptable? Is a Musyarakah Sukuk based on Musyarakah? In Islamic ABS should you purchase the debt or the asset?  Mudarabah Sukuk and the Sukuk Fund. Is the illiquidity of Islamic Equity Instruments because it is not popular or because it is too popular? Is Islamic ETF going to be the next instrument of the century? Can your Islamic Fund invest in Call Warrants, TSR’s, Futures and Index futures? How are indices built up? ETF’s vs Index Funds. Whose stockscreening rules to follow? Are stockscreening rules permanent? What makes an Islamic stockbroker? Is share trading gambling? Can an Islamic stockbroker deal in contra trading? Is venture capital equity or debt? What makes venture capital Islamic? Can Islamic Fund Management rise to the occasion? Or will it remain forever in the peripheries? Are the current clients of Islamic Funds only Muslims? Has the potential for Islamic Unit Trusts been exhausted? Will Islamic Private Equity be the next popular capital raiser after Sukuk?
