Warren Edwardes was interviewed
by Premala Shanmuganathan of Bank Marketing International on Islamic finance in the UK. "Apparent structural
difficulties in terms of launching Islamic mortgages in the UK have led to
uncompetitive pricing and a working party has been established by The Bank of
England to address the stamp duty and capital
adequacy issues." Edwardes feels that "although the authorities'
involvement is an encouraging sign, there is more than sufficient scope within
current tax legislation to launch Islamic mortgages cost-effectively."

have to be properly managed but they have to be seen to be well managed. But the
IFSB should have teeth and be prepared to praise and shame and not be just
another excuse for well-meaning meetings."

Strategy. Islamic banking is interest free, trade or equity related and
perhaps more ethical than modern general banking. There are Islamic versions of

Edwardes interviewed
on "Derivatives and the retail investor" by Will Foggon of Emirates
Investor magazine. "Arguably the most
important principle behind any investment portfolio is risk diversification.
Currency, interest rate, equity and commodity derivatives can quickly and
cheaply perform this risk spreading." ... "Exchange
traded futures are a great leveller. The price for a blue chip bank is the same
as for an individual. However, as Barings showed in Singapore, losses can soon
accumulate to lead to a billion dollar loss. So investors should not be seduced
by the low initial margin deposits required up front. These margins are only
meant to cover one day's worth of market movements in the particular futures
contract. Derivatives should be avoided unless the investor is sure he can
manage the risk."

cumplir las obligaciones establecidas en el producto. Si cualquier

sobre la solidez de la entidad financiera, las inversiones a largo
plazo requieren una solidez más afianzada, en el bien entendido
que no es lo mismo un depósito a cinco anos que una entrega
de un Bono del Estado a unos días. Al propio tiempo, debe
ser un requisito de obligado cumplimiento, que el inversor conozca
y entienda perfectamente todas y cada una de las condiciones -
incluyendo la letra pequeña - de esa preciso producto financiero.
De esta manera conocerá y comprobará por sí
mismo, que ése, es el producto que quiere y el que se acomoda

no le queda totalmente claro, debe pedir la correspondiente aclaracion.

are very keen to place their savings according to Islamic principles,
they would rather save with the major banks. A major UK bank or

rate movements. Using derivatives such as swaps they effectively
borrow at a fixed rate in the money market. When a customer walks
away from his or her fixed rate commitment, the bank cannot renege
on its part of a deal. So if the customer gains the bank loses
