For Path Solutions, it gives us the opportunity to meet and network with top experts in the industry. We are keen to support MEGA brands and most especially the WIFCMC and the World Islamic Banking Conference. We look forward to many more years of success in our partnership.”

“BMB Islamic is pleased to be associated with the 5th Annual World Islamic Funds & Capital Markets Conference, which is being held at a time when Islamic funds industry is witnessing huge interest from conventional financial institutions. This is remarkable, given the crisis-hit conventional funds industry.”
Dr Humayon Dar, Chief Executive Office, BMB Islamic
“Recovering from the current financial crisis will require thought leadership and innovation by Islamic investors and fund managers. The World Islamic Funds & Capital Markets Conference in 2009 will be a good place to discuss which changes will really work.”
Charles Peal, Chairman of the BLME Umbrella Fund, Bank of London and The Middle East
As the most recent innovative Islamic investment institution in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Tharawat is proud to be the Investment Management partner at the 5th Annual World Islamic Funds & Capital Markets Conference 2009. This prestigious international conference has established itself as the largest gathering of leading Islamic investment institutions across the world.

“We are proud to be associated with the 5th Annual World Islamic Funds & Capital Markets Conference in Bahrain. We are confident about the Islamic finance industry’s future and we are one of the prime examples to support that confidence as our bank was launched in January 2009. Capinnova’s vision is to be a world class Islamic investment bank offering a range of high quality products and services to a diverse clientele. Our mission is to become the Islamic investment bank of choice and a niche player, providing clients in the GCC and MENA region with superior investment products aimed at building and sustaining shareholder value, whilst maintaining an optimal balance between risks and returns. The key fact that the Islamic finance industry is asset based and not debt financed, has protected and prevented this sector from the crises that has brought the downfall of conventional financial giants worldwide.”
Jamal Hijres, Chief Executive Officer, Capinnova Investment Bank

Now in its third year, and exclusively launched at the 5th Annual World Islamic Funds & Capital Markets Conference, the EY Islamic Funds & Investments Report has rapidly established itself as a valuable reference resource for leading players in the Islamic funds and capital markets. Previous Reports have analysed the impact of macro-economic developments on investors’ wealth and considered demand segments’ investment allocations trends. A central theme that emanated from last year’s Report is the need for deeper and more sophisticated product development across asset classes to support the demand for Shari’ah-compliant investments. This year’s Report will provide the impetus for a thorough review of the market, the players, and the challenges - and will offer fresh perspectives on new strategies for new economic realities.
This session, led by Ernst & Young’s highly respected Islamic Financial Services Group, will provide an interactive platform to engage the key issues that will positively re-shape the Islamic investments industry.
