1.1 PRELUDE
Investment management is the professional asset management of various securities (shares, bonds and other securities) and assets (e.g., real estate) in order to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations, charities, educational establishments etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective investment schemes e.g. mutual funds or exchange-traded funds).
The provision of investment management services includes elements of financial statement analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments. Coming under the remit of financial services many of the world's largest companies are at least in part investment managers and employ millions of staff.
The goal of investment/credit management is to maximize a bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining lending/credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should also consider the relationships between credit risk and other risks. The effective management of credit/lending risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization. Institutions manage it in different ways. In assessing credit risk from a single counterparty, an institution must consider three issues: Default Probability, Credit Exposure, and Recovery Rate. While financial institutions have faced difficulties over the years for a multitude of reasons, the major cause of serious banking problems continues to be directly related to lax credit standards for borrowers and counterparties, poor portfolio risk management, or a lack of attention to changes in economic or other circumstances that can lead to a deterioration in the credit standing of a bank's counterparties. Credit analysis refers lending/credit risk in which a loan officer attempts to evaluate a borrower’s ability and willingness to repay. Generally through lending/ credit analysis the loan officer analyze all available information to determine whether the loan meets the bank’s risk-return objectives. To analyze credit three techniques are used: Qualitative analysis, Quantitative analysis and Credit Risk Grading. In the qualitative analysis the bank usually analyze the 5 C’s of the customer Character, Capacity, Cash, and Condition & Collateral. Knowledge and learning become perfect when it is associated with theory and practice. Theoretical knowledge gets its perfection with practical application. As our educational system predominantly text based, inclusion practical orientation program, as an academic component is as exception to the norm. As the parties, educational institution and the organization substantially benefit from such a program, it seems a “win-win situation”. It establishes contracts and networking contracts. Contracts may help to get a job. That is,

students can train and prepare themselves for the job market. My report will discuss the comparisons between Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited & National Bank Limited, shows how islami banks perform better in spite of being interest free banks. The purpose of this report is to evaluate its performance through ratio analysis; trend analysis, regression etc.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Investment management is the professional asset management of various securities and assets in order to meet specified investment goals for the benefits of the investors. If a bank can’t properly manage its investment than its recovery rate will be low due to which a bank needs to maintain increasing amount of provision against this NPI that ultimately locks the money of a bank to maintain its sustainability. The main mission of this report is to identify the problems associated with investment management of selected Islamic banks of Bangladesh and to suggest some pragmatic solution to overcome these problems. So far we know, there have conducted a little study on investment management of investment management of Islamic banks of Bangladesh. The researchers firmly believed that the suggestions provided will help the banks to some extent and the academician as well.

1.4 LITERATURE REVIEW
Kym Brown & Michael Skully have conducted a study on “Ethical Investment & Performance Of Islamic Banks” in 2003 to know the profitability and economic efficiency of Islamic Banks and then compares these results with their involvement in Islamic finance by using non-parametric cost efficiency analysis, data envelopment analysis(DEA) and ratio analysis and the finding is that average efficiency of listed banks is slightly higher than non-listed banks at 75.2% as compared to 71.87%.
Muhammad Jaffar & Irfan Manarvi have run a study on “Performance Comparison Of Islamic And Conventional Banks In Pakistan” in 2011 to examine and compare the performance of Islamic and conventional banks operating inside Pakistan during 2005 to 2009 by analyzing CAMEL test standard factors such as capital adequacy, asset quality, management quality, earning ability and liquidity position and the finding is that Islamic banks performed poorly in earning on their assets with records of 1.37% in 2005 and -68.55% in 2006 and overall return on asset ratio of -13.47% during the period 2005 to 2009. Conventional banks had a mean ratio of 1.53% marking better investment decision and more profit for the banks and shareholders.
Mahmood Ahmed have conducted an study on “Practice of Mudaraba and Musharaka in Islamic Banking” to find ways of effecting Mudaraba and Musharaka modes of investment in Islamic banking, where neither the capital nor return is guaranteed by using the method of purposive random sampling and the finding is financing social projects through Mudaraba and Musharaka by commercial banks is especially important on account of its immediate relevance to the majority of the people living in rural Bangladesh.
Muhamad Abduh & Nazreen T. Chowdhury have run an study on “Does Islamic Banking Matter for Economic Growth in Bangladesh?”, to investigate the long run and dynamic relationship between Islamic banking development and economic growth in Bangladesh by using quarterly time-series data of economic growth, total financing and total deposit of Islamic banking from Q1:2004 to Q2:2011 and co-integration and Granger’s causality method and the finding is that Islamic bank financing has shared long run positive relationship with economic growth.
Mohammad Saif Noman Khan, M. Kabir Hassan & Abdullah Ibneyy Shahid have conducted a study on “Banking Behavior of Islamic Bank Customers in Bangladesh” to investigate the banking behavior of Islamic bank customers in Bangladesh by using comprehensive profile analysis, a number of chi-square tests, and t tests on a sample of 100 customers of Islamic banks. The findings are: 1. most of the customers of Islamic
10
banks fall in the age category of 25-35 years. Islamic bank customers are highly educated and have durable relationships with the banks; 2. High customer awareness and usage exist for various deposit mobilization instruments but there is not high awareness and usage of any individual financing facilities of Islamic banks; 3. Income category and education have a significant role in customers’ usage of various Islamic bank products/services; 4. Customers seem to be satisfied with a number of products/services of Islamic banks; 5. Among the service delivery elements, ‘employees’ deserve an immediate attention for improving customer satisfaction; 6. ‘Religious principles’ is the key bank selection criterion of the Islamic bank customers, while customers’ demography plays some role in determining which selection criteria matter more than others do.
Abdus Samad has run a study on, “Performance Of Interest-Free Islamic Banks Vis-À-Vis Interest-Based Conventional Banks Of Bahrain” in 2004 to know the comparative performance of Bahrain’s interest-free Islamic banks and the interest-based conventional commercial banks during the post Gulf War period with respect to (a) profitability, (b) liquidity risk, and (c) credit risk by using t-test to financial ratios for Islamic and conventional commercial banks in Bahrain for the period 1991-2001and concludes that there is no major difference in performance between Islamic and conventional banks with respect to profitability and liquidity.
Muhammad Shehzad Moin have run an study on “Performance of Islamic Banking and Conventional Banking in Pakistan” to examine and to evaluate the performance of the first Islamic bank in Pakistan, i.e. Meezan Bank Limited (MBL) in comparison with that of a group of 5 Pakistani conventional banks by using profitability, liquidity, risk, financial ratios such as Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Loan to Deposit ratio (LDR), Loan to Assets ratio (LAR), Debt to Equity ratio (DER), Asset Utilization (AU) and Income to Expense ratio (IER), T-test and F-test and the findings are: conventional banks are more profitable and are significantly different from Islamic bank in Return on Equity (ROE) and Profit Expense Ratio (PER); Islamic bank is getting closer to conventional banks in an upward trend.
Jill Johnes, Marwan Izzeldin and Vasileios Pappas, have studied on,” A comparison of performance of Islamic and conventional banks 2004 to 2009” in April 2012 to know the performance of Islamic and conventional banks prior to, during and immediately after the 2008 financial crisis (2004-2009) by using ratio measures and find that there are no significant differences in gross efficiency (on average) between conventional and Islamic banks.
Bishnu Kumar Adhikary, has conducted an study on “Nonperforming Loans in the Banking Sector of Bangladesh: Realities and Challenges” to discusses the magnitude of
11
Nonperforming Loans (“NPLs”) in the banking sector of Bangladesh since the adoption of prudential norms in the loan classification and provisioning system in 1990.The finding is that NPLs in Bangladesh reveals that the banking sector of Bangladesh is yet to get out of its NPL mess, although substantial improvement has been noticed recently.
Ezaz Ahmed, Ziaur Rahman and Rubina I. Ahmed, have run a study on “Comparative Analysis Of Loan Recovery Among Nationalized, Private And Islamic Commercial Banks of Bangladesh” to analyze and determine the reasons behind the better recovery position of ICBs compared to PCBs and NCBs. The finding is that the advance structure of the Islamic Banks are greatly skewed to the comparatively safer modes of financing like Murabaha, Bai Muajjal, Ijara, Ijara wa Iqtina. On the other hand, Conventional Banks’ asset portfolios are less skewed to the short term financing (compared to the ICBs).
1.5 BANGLADESH BANK GUIDELINES
12
Islamic Banking has experienced a phenomenal growth and expansion in Bangladesh in the backdrop of strong public demand and support for the system along with its gradually increasing popularity across the world. As a result, a number of full-fledged Islamic Banks has been established, while a good number of conventional banks have come forward to offer services compliant with Islamic Shariah through opening of Islamic branches along with conventional ones. There is also a trend of conversion of conventional banks into Islamic bank.
It has, therefore, become necessary to ensure that activities of the fast growing Islamic Banks are carried out properly and uniformly according to the principles of Islamic Shariah. With this end in view, Bangladesh Bank constituted a Focus group comprising representatives of the central Bank, a number of Islamic Banks and the Central Shariah Board for Islamic Banks of Bangladesh to formulate an integrated guideline for conducting banking business of the Islamic Bank/Islamic bank branches of conventional banks. Based on the recommendations of the Focus group this guideline embodying different terminologies used in Islamic Banking operations, definitions of the terminologies, the principles and modes of deposits and investments has been prepared. It also dwelt upon the issues of liquidity, maintenance of books of accounts and preparation of financial statements and other related issues. This guideline has been prepared mainly on the basis of Banking Companies Act 1991, Companies Act 1994 and Prudential Regulations of Bangladesh Bank. However, this guideline should be treated as supplementary, not a substitute, to the existing banking laws, rules and regulations. In case of any point not covered under this Guideline as also in case of any contradiction, the instructions issued under the Banking Companies Act and CompaniesAct will prevail.
Islamic banks do not directly deal in money. They run business with money. The funds of Islamic banks are mainly invested in the following modes:
Mudaraba;Musharaka;Bai-Murabaha (Murabaha to the purchase orders);Bai-Muajjal;Salam and parallel Salam;Istisna and parallel Istisna;Ijara;Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek (Hire Purchase);Hire Purchase Musharaka Mutanaqisa (HPMM);Direct Investment;Investment Auctioning etc.QuardQuard Hassan etc.
13
1. Mudaraba: Mudaraba is a shared venture between labour and capital. Here Bank provides with entire capital and the investment client conducts the business. The Bank, provider of capital, is called Sahib-Al-Maal and the client is called Mudarib. The profit is to be distributed between the Bank and the investment client at a predetermined ratio while the bank has to bear the entire loss, if any.
2. Musharaka: Musharaka means partnership business. Every partner has to provide more or less equity funds in this partnership business. Both the Bank and the investment client reserve the right to share in the management of the business. But the Bank may opt to permit the investment client to operate the whole business. In practice, the investment client normally conducts the business. The profit is divided between the bank and the investment client at a predetermined ratio. Loss, if any, is to be borne by the bank and the investment client according to capital ratio.
3. Bai-Murabaha: Contractual buying and selling at a mark-up profit is called Murabaha. In this case, the client requests the Bank to purchase certain goods for him. The Bank purchases the goods as per specification and requirement of the client. The client receives the goods on payment of the price which includes mark-up profit as per contract. Under this mode of investment the purchase/ cost price and profit are to be disclosed separately.
4. Bai-Muajjal: "Bai-Muajjal" means sale for which payment is made at a future fixed date or within a fixed period. In short, it is a sale on Credit. It is a contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells certain specific goods (permissible under Shariah and Law of the Country), to the buyer at an agreed fixed price payable at a certain fixed future date in lump sum or within a fixed period by fixed installments. The seller may also sell the goods purchased by him as per order and specification of the buyer. In Bank's perspective, Bai-Muajjal is treated as a contract between the Bank and the Client under which the bank sells to the Client certain specified goods, purchased as per order and specification of the Client at an agreed price payable within a fixed future date in lump sum or by fixed installments.
5. Salam and Parallel Salam: Salam means advance purchase. It is a mode of business under which the buyer pays the price of the goods in advance on the condition that the goods would be supplied / delivered at a particular future time. The seller supplies the goods within the fixed time.
Parallel Salam:Parallel Salam is a Salam contract whereby the seller depends, for executing his obligation, on receiving what is due to him - in his capacity as purchaser from a sale in a
14
previous Salam contract, without making the execution of the second Salam contract dependent on the execution of the first one. The following conditions are essential in the contracts of Murabaha, Bai-Muajjal and Salam. The respective contracts must include the following aspects regarding the goods:
Number/QuantityQualitySamplePrice and amount of profitDate of supply/time limitPlace of supplyWho will bear the cost of supply?Timeframe for payment in case of Bai-Murabaha and Bai-Muajjal.
6. Istisna and parallel Istisna: A contract executed between a buyer and a seller under which the seller pledges to manufacture and supply certain goods according to specification of the buyer is called Istisna. An Istisna agreement is executed when a manufacturer or a factory owner accepts a proposal placed to him by a person or an Institution to produce/manufacture certain goods for the latter at a certain negotiated price. Here, the person giving the order is called Mustasni, the receiver of the order is called Sani and the goods manufactured as per order is called Masnu. An order placed for manufacturing or producing those goods which under prevailing customs and practice are produced or manufactured will be treated as Istisna contract.
Parallel Istisna:If it is not stipulated in the contract that the seller himself would produce/provide the goods or services, then the seller can enter into another contract with third party for getting the goods or services produced/ provided by the third party. Such a contract is called Parallel Istisna. This may be treated as a sub-contract. The main features of this contract are:-
The original Istisna contract remains valid even if the Parallel Istisna contract fails and the seller will be legally liable to produce/ provide the goods or services mentioned in the Istisna contract.Istisna and Parallel Istisna contracts are treated as two separate contracts.The seller under the Istisna contract will remain liable for failure of the sub-contract.
7. Ijara: The mode under which any asset owned by the bank, by creation, acquirement or building-up is rented out is called Ijara or leasing. In this mode, the leasee pays the Bank rents at a determined rate for using the assets/properties and returns the same to the Bank at the expiry of the agreement. The Bank retains absolute ownership of the
15
assets/properties in such a case. However, at the end of the leased period, the asset may be sold to the client at an agreed price.
8. Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleak (Hire-Purchase): Under this mode, the bank purchases vehicles, machineries and instruments, building, apartment etc. and allowed clients to use those on payment of fixed rents in installments with the ultimate objective to sell the asset to the client at the end of the rental period . The client acquires the ownership/ title of the assets/ properties subject to full payment/ adjustment of all the installments.
9. Hire-purchase Musharaka Mutanaqasa (HPMM): Hire-purchase Musharaka Mutanaqasa means purchasing and acquiring ownership by one party by sharing in equity and paying rents for the rest of the equity held by the Bank/or other party. Under this mode, the Bank and the client on contract basis jointly purchase vehicles, machineries, building, apartment etc. The client uses the portion of the assets owned by the bank on rental basis and acquires the ownership of the same assets by way of paying banks portion of the equity on the assets in installments together with its rents as agreed upon.
10. Direct Investment: Under this mode, the bank can under its full proprietorship conduct business by directly investing in the industries, trading, transports etc. In these cases, the profit/loss fully goes to the bank.
11. Investment Auctioning: Selling by auction of those assets/goods acquired by the bank through direct investment is called Investment auctioning. Generally, the bank establishes industrial units by direct investment, makes the same operationally profitable and then sells out on auction. This mode of investment is very helpful for industrialization of the country.
12. Quard:It is a mode to provide financial assistance/ loan with the stipulation to return the principal amount in the future without any increase thereon.
13. Quard Hassan:This is a benevolent loan that obliges a borrower to repay the lender the principal amount borrowed on maturity. The borrower, however, has the discretion to reward the lender for his loan by paying any amount over and above the amount of the principal provided there will be no reference (explicit or implicit) in this regard. If a bank provides its client any loan, it can receive actual expenditure relating to the loan as service charge only once. It cannot charge annually at a percentage rate. If a loan is provided against the money deposited by a client in the bank, it has the right not to pay any profit
16
against the amount of money given as loan. But profit should be paid on the rest of the amount deposited as per previous agreement.
1.6 METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Technique of analysis:
17
In this part, we have made various types of analysis as per the guideline of honorable course instructor as well utilizing our prudence if we have any. Four different types of analysis have been done, these are-
SWOT AnalysisCore indicator & Ratio analysisLeast Squares Method for Time series Analysis
To conduct the Analysis part I have chosen the most widely used techniques of analysis. These are Least Squares method for Time Series Analysis and Regression Analysis.
Time series analysis
The first step in making estimates for the future consists of gathering information from the past data. In this connection, one usually deals with statistical data which are collected, observed or recorded at successive lest of time. Such data are generally referred as Time Series data.
Least squares method for straight line trend
Here the researchers have used Least squares method for measuring a straight line trend by using time series data. This method is most widely used in practice. When this method is applied, a trend line is fitted to data in such a manner that the following two conditions are satisfied-
1. ∑(Y-Yc) = 0; it means the sum of deviations of the actual values of Y and the computed value of Y is zero.
2. ∑(Y-Yc)2 is least; it means the sum of the squares of the deviations of the actual and computed values is last from the line. That is why this method is called the method of Least square. The line obtained by this method is known as the line of “Best Fit”.
Series data for straight line trend:
The straight line trend is represented by the equation-
Yc = a +bX;
Where-
Yc = The trend (computed) values to distinguish them from the actual Y values,
18
a= The Y intercept on the value of the Y variable when X=0,
b= Slope of the line or the amount of change in Y variable.
Source of data:
Data, for this research report, is collected from only the secondary sources, as of the nature of research; no primary data have been used for conducting the analysis and deducting findings
Secondary Sources
The data which has already been collected by others, such data are called Secondary data. For this report, the secondary data are collected from the below sources-
Annual reports of the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited from year 2007-2011,Official website of the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited Annual reports of the Al-Arafah Islami Bank from year 2007-2011Official website of the Al-Arafah Islami Bank Annual reports of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited from year 2007-2011Official website of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Every report or research proposal consists of various limitations. Ours also has a few. This report is extensively dependent on secondary data such as annual report of bank,
19
published materials, different internet sources. Primary information in investigating the report findings is difficult for time constraints. Though we tried our level best in preparing this report some limitations were yet present there:
Fund
Preparing a quality report vast requires investigation & thorough explanation which needs a big amount of money to collect enough research materials & quality research papers. But the fund for the preparation of this report is too much limited. We couldn’t just afford it. If more funds would be available, the report could be more accurate & informative.
Time
The preparation time for this report was too much limited - around two weeks. It is very difficult to prepare a quality report within this time. If more time would be available, then we could make a better report.
Skills
We do not have enough skills to prepare a quality report. The lacks of skills are computing knowledge, business knowledge, analytical knowledge and linguistic skills.

If the ultimate buyer does not stipulate in the contract that the seller will manufacture the product(s) by himself, then the seller may enter into a second Istisna'a contract in order to fulfil his contractual obligations in the first contract. This new contract is known as Parallel Istisna'a, whereby the obligations of the seller in the first contract are carried out.
Ijara Mechanism
a) Hire purchase:
It is practiced for procurement of goods which are mainly of fixed nature. Here purchaser purchases the assets from the seller by paying the price gradually or in lump sum after the rent period and pay for the assets up until making the full payment.
In this type of contract the hire has the full ownership of the goods. The ownership is only transferred to the hirer after the price of the goods is fully paid to the Bank. It means ownership has to be manually transferred in this type of contract. Up until ownership of the assets is transferred the client has to pay a fixed rental to the Bank according to the schedule specified in the contract.
b) Hire Purchase under Shirkatul Melk:
Hire Purchase under Shirkatul Melk is a Special type of contract which has been developed through practice. Actually, it is a synthesis of three contracts:
i) Shirkatii) Ijarah; and iii) Sale
These may be defined as follows
Shirkat:
Shirkat means partnership and Shirkatul Melk means share in ownership. When two or more persons supply equity, purchase an asset, own the same jointly, and share the benefit as per agreement and bear the loss in proportion to their respective equity, the contract is called Shirkatul Melk contract.
Ijarah
27
Ijarah has been defined as a contract between two parties, the Hiree and Hirer where the Hirer enjoys or reaps a specific service or benefit against a specified consideration or rent from the asset owned by the Hiree.
Sale
Sale is a sale contract against which the buyer gets the ownership of the goods from the seller by paying agreed upon price or by agreeing to pay the price at a later date
Share Mechanism:
a) Mudaraba:
Mudaraba is a partnership in profit whereby one party provides capital and the other party provides skill and labour. The provider of capital is called "Shahib Al-Maal" while the provider of skill and labour is called "Mudarib".
So, Mudaraba may be defined as a contract of partnership where the Shahib al-maal provides capital to the Mudarib for investing it in a commercial enterprise by applying his labour and endeavor. Both the parties share the profit as per agreed upon ratio and the losses, if any, being borne by the provider of funds i.e. Shahib al-maal except if it is due to breach of trust i.e. misconduct, negligence or violation of the conditions agreed upon by the Mudarib. If there is any loss incurred due to the reasons mentioned above, the Mudarib becomes liable for that.
Types of MudarabaMudaraba Contracts may be divided into 2 types:
# Restricted Mudaraba (Al-Mudaraba Al-Muqayyadah)
A restricted Mudaraba (Al-Mudaraba Al-Muqayyadah) is a contract in which the Shahib al-maal impose any restrictions on the actions of the Mudarib but not in a manner that would unduly constrain the Mudarib in his operations.
Restricted Mudaraba may further be divided into three types:
a. Restriction in respect of time or period:In this type of Mudaraba, the Mudaraba contract includes a clause on duration of the business. After expiry of such period, the Mudaraba shall become void
b. Restriction in respect of place or location:
28
In this type of Mudaraba, the Mudaraba contract includes a clause on place or location of the business. The Mudarib shall bind to do the business within the area of such place or location.
c. Restriction in respect of business:
In this type of Mudaraba, the Shahib al-maal restricts the actions of the Mudarib to a particular type of business as he (Shahib al-maal) considers appropriate.
# Unrestricted Mudaraba (Al-Mudaraba Al-Mutlaqah)
An unrestricted Mudaraba (Al Mudaraba Al Mutlaqah) is a contract in which Shahib al-maal permits the Mudarib to administer the Mudaraba capital without any restrictions. In this case, the Mudarib has a wide range of trade or business freedom on the basis of trust and the business expertise he has acquired. Such unrestricted business freedom must be exercised only in accordance with the interests of the parties and the objectives of the Mudaraba contract.
But, if Mudarib wants to have an extraordinary work, which is beyond the normal course of business, he cannot do so without express permission from Shahib al-maal. He is also not authorized to:
Keep another Mudarib or a partnerMix his own capital in that particular Mudaraba without the consent of the Shahib al-maal
b) Musharaka:
Musharaka may be defined as a contract of partnership between two or more individuals or bodies in which all the partners contribute capital, participate in the management, and share the profit in proportion to their capital or as per pre-agreed ratio and bear the loss, if any, in proportion to their capital/equity ratio.
In Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL), the Bank may take part in a business with its Client(s), where both the Client(s) and the Bank provide capital in fixed proportions, take part in the management of business and share the profit in proportion to their respective capital ratio or at pre-agreed ratio and bear the loss, if any, in proportion to their respective capital/ equity ratio.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT MECHANISMS OF THE SJIBL
33
BAI MECHANISM:
Bai means purchase and sale of goods in cash or on credit or in advance at an agreed
upon profit, which may or may not be disclosed to the client. Majority of investments of
Islamic banks are extended through this mechanism. A good number of investment
products have been designed to facilitate mainly working capital financing which goes
as follows:
Bai-Murabaha
Murabaha LC(Sight/Deferred):
Through this mode of indirect facility, the bank facilitates import of goods of the client at
fixed rate of service charge (LC commission) on invoice value. LC may be opened at
100% cash or at a different ratio.
Murabaha Post Import TR :
This is a post import finance under the principle of “Bai”, extended to retire Shipping
Documents under LC opened. We buy the imported goods and sell the same to the
importer at a cost plus an agreed upon profit repayable today or on some date in the
future in lumpsum or by installments. Usually payment is made by lumpsum from the
sale proceeds of the consignment. Possession of goods remains with the client.
Collateral security is usually obtained to secure the finance.
Murabaha Post Import Pledge :
As like as Murabaha Post Import TR with an exception to security. Goods remain under
the control of the Bank. Collateral security may or may not be obtained.
Bai-Muajjal
Bai-Muajjal Commercial TR:
It is an agreement between bank and client whereby bank delivers goods to the client
upon deferred payment, i.e. the client shall pay the price at some future date at a time,
by lumpsum or by installment. Under this mode of investment, bank is not supposed to
34
disclose cost price and profit separately. Goods are delivered on trust and Trust Receipt
is obtained for legal implication.
Bai-Muajjal (Real Estate):
Mode of operation and principle of this product are alike Bai-Mujjal Commercial TR.
Difference is with the purpose, i.e. the facility is only extended against construction or
purchase of building, apartment etc.
Bai-Muajjal (WES Bill):
Investment facility under this Mode is extended to liquidate ABP liability at maturity,
when the client cannot liquidate the liability as a result of non-repatriation of the related
export proceeds.
Bai-Muajjal (Term):
Under this mode of investment, term facility is given to meet client’s requirement, which
is repaid by a specific repayment schedule. Purpose is a bit different, such as to meet
BG claim, etc.
Bai-Salam
Bai-Salam (PC):
This is export finance. Bai-Salam is a term used to define a sale in which the buyer
makes advance payment, but the delivery is delayed until sometime in the future.
Usually the seller is an individual or business and the buyer is the bank.
The Bai-Salam sales serve the interest of both parties:
The seller- receives advance payment in exchange for the obligation to deliver
the commodity at some later date. He benefits from the salam sale by locking in
a price for his commodity, thereby allowing him to cover his financial needs
whether they are personal expenses, family expenses or business expenses.
35
The purchaser benefits because he receives delivery of the commodity when it is
needed to fulfill some other agreement, without incurring storage costs. Second,
a Bai-Salam sale is usually less expensive than a cash sale. Finally a Bai-Salam
agreement allows the purchase to lock in a price, thus protecting him price
fluctuation.
SMALL & MEDIUM ENTERPRISE INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The SME Sector has been declared by the Government as a priority sector. In our
country, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play the pivotal role for employment
generation, poverty alleviation and overall economic growth of the country. It has been
observed that fund is the major constraint of this sector. Therefore, we need to inject
more funds into this sector in a very planned manner to boost-up this sector for the sake
of overall economic development of the country. Our country is labour abundant and
SMEs are typically labour intensive. So, the sector deserves more investment facility for
smooth functioning of the existing enterprises and expansion of the same with a view to
retain the workforce active as well as creating more employment opportunities. Further,
investment in SMEs can be very effective in reducing poverty as well as ensuring long
term economic growth.
Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) is a modern commercial bank governed by the
principles of Islamic Shariah, which is committed to implement and materialize the
economic and financial principles of Islam in the banking sector. It has undertaken
initiatives for investment in SME sector by introducing a number of SME products in the
market gradually with a view to patronizing the trade, commerce and industrial entities
with equity & justice and to make effective contribution for creating employment
opportunities, which will ultimately help the nation for poverty alleviation from the
society.

The graph shows that the average NPI of IBBL is highest despite the decreasing trend of NPI from year 2007-2010. Since the NPI of AIBL shows decreasing trend so we can say that their recovery performance is better and improving. On the other hand the average NPI of SJIBL is lowest than that of others.
INVESTMENT TO DEPOSIT (%)

The above calculation and graph shows that the investment to deposit ratio of AIBL is higher than that of SJIBL but we have seen a reverse situation of that two with respect to ROI as the NPI of SJIBL is comparatively lower than AIBL. On the contrary, although the average investment to deposit ratio of IBBL is the lowest one but their average NPI is highest that reflect in their lowest average ROI.

It is required that a bank should reduce their provision for NPI if the trend of NPI is decreasing but the IBBL doesn’t follow this. Although this behavior ensures their security but decreases its profitability. It is also seen that the provision of NPI of AIBL is decreasing proportionately with respect to NPI but they can’t manage their investment properly as a result of which their ROI is fluctuating. On the other hand the average provision of NPI of SJIBL is comparatively lower.
Investment income (%) (share)

CHAPTER 4
63
It has always been important for a business to know and understand how it fits in and interacts with the surrounding environment on both an internal (office/factory/shop environment) and external view (how business operates with the outside world).Researching the environment will benefit the company and management team by putting in a position to develop a strategy for both the long and short term. The most influential way of doing this is to perform a SWOT analysis of the company. The SWOT analysis comprises of the organization’s internal strength and weakness and external opportunities and threats. This analysis can be performed on a product, on a service, a company or even on an individual. It helps to identify where the company is strong and where is vulnerable, where company should defend and where it should attack. SWOT analysis gives an organization an insight of what they can do in future and how they can compete with their existing competitors. This tool is very important to indentify the current position of the organization relative to others, which are playing in the same field and also used in the strategic analysis of the organization
S W O T A N A L Y S I SThe acronym for SWOT analysis stands for-
StrengthsWeaknessesOpportunitiesThreats
Every organization is composed of some internal strengths and weaknesses and also has some external opportunities and threats in its whole life cycle.

5.1 FINDINGS
ISLAMI BANK BANGLADESH LIMITED
IBBL keeps huge proportion of provision against classified investment. It indicates that their investment recovery is declining.Due to the lack of proper monitoring and efficiency their NPIs increasing year to year.Because of the increasing rate of NPIs, they have a low investment to deposit ratio; i.e. they keep large proportion as provision against classified loan which causes a decline in ROI.
AL ARAFAH ISLAMI BANK LIMITED
AIBL has large investment to deposit ratio and it also has a good recovery rate but its return is decreasing year to year, which may be due to the investment in less risky project where return is low.Due to the less diversification in investment portfolio, AIBL greatly affected to its income by the recent stock market crash in Bangladesh.Inefficiency of investment department while forecasting investment.
SHAHJALAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED
Return on asset decreasing year to year. This is because of lower return growth than asset growth.NPIs increasing year to year. This may be caused by lack of proper monitoring.Investment income in stock market securities has decreased irrationally in last year because of stock market crash in Bangladesh.
5.2 SUGGESTION
71
Before granting fund for investment, IBBL should examine the investment proposal carefully to know whether the proposal fulfills the investment criteria of the bank and after granting fund for investment they should monitor properly at a specific time interval. If they are able to do these perfectly, the amount of NPIs will be decreased. As a result they can able to decrease the volume of provision against classified investment (freeing the liquid fund) which can be used as new investment. Besides this they can also increase their investment to deposit ratio (resulting from low risk-low NPI) & ultimately ROI will increase.
AIBL should increase the number of efficient personnel of investment department for forecasting investment properly. In case of general investment, they should select and invest in both high yielding project and the project where return is less volatile by keeping in mind that their NPI follows same trend as like as before and ROI avoids vulnerability rather increasing. In case of investing shares and securities they should make a portfolio which includes both blue-chip share and the share which market price is less volatile to avoid vulnerability in security return.
SJIBL should increase their level of investment monitoring efficiency by implementing the policy of bank properly and they should undertake the investment proposal that ultimately ensures their recovery of efficiency. It is also recommended that they should be well-conscious so that growth rate of return should be proportional to growth rate of assets.
5.3 CONCLUSION
72
Banks play a very vital role in the economic development of the country. The popularity
of banks is increasing day by day which leads to increase competition as well. Currently
57 Banks are operated in Bangladesh. All the Commercial banks are offering almost the
same products and services. But the way they provide the services are different from
each other. So people choose their bank according to their satisfaction and need. On
the other hand, Banks innovate new products and services to attract their desired
customer. In our country’s banking system, there are still some borrowers who are
unwilling to pay the loan as a result our banking system is heavily affected by bad loans.
This not only makes bank more conservative, contracts the lending system, it
discourages investment. IBBL, AIBL and SJIBL are the fast growing banks in
Bangladesh because of their rapid customers’ satisfaction. The banks are committed to
run all their activities as per Islamic Shariah through the investment procedure.
