Kuala Lumpur, 3 October, 2007- Kuwait Finance House Global Research (KFH Global Research) has been voted as the Best Research in Islamic Finance by Terrapin, the world-class producer of leading global funds conference series. The achievement is one of the categories in the inaugural Master of Islamic Funds Award, in conjunction with the Islamic Funds World 2007 conference to be held in Dubai UAE on 12-15 November 2007. The winners and finalists will receive their well deserved recognition and accolade during the Master of Islamic Funds Awards luncheon ceremony on 13 November.
The Master of Islamic Funds Awards honours and accords international recognition for excellent performance in the Islamic funds industry. Given that KFH Global Research is barely a year old, having been officially launched on 14 May 2007, the award is undeniably an excellent accomplishment. There were some strong competitors in the field including a number of well-established research houses in the Middle East being shortlisted. A panel of distinguished judges included Shariah Scholars and reputable personalities from the Islamic banking and finance sector.
"Our commitment is that wherever the KFH Group is present, we would like to contribute towards the development of Islamic banking in the region," declares Mr. K. Salman Younis, the Managing Director of Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad when the good news was conveyed to him at his office. "As an Islamic financial institution, it is our social responsibility to promote Islamic finance not only in the Middle East but also globally."
The efforts by KFH Global Research reflect the commitment of KFH to knowledge sharing in order to press forward the development of the Islamic financial and capital markets. Having received wide coverage in Asia and the Middle East, the reports by KFH Global Research thus play an essential role in supporting Islamic banking.
Salman affirms, "Our research capabilities allow us to build on this commitment and foster the closer integration of Islamic markets. This award for the world's first Islamic Banking Research arm represents another important milestone for the KFH Group and for the Islamic industry as a whole."
"Our research expertise is at the core of the value proposition offered to clients and is a key component of our customised client solutions," emphasises Baljeet Kaur Grewal, Chief Economist & Head, KFH Global Research. She highlights that KFH Global Research aims to provide in-depth macro and trend analysis to engage in knowledge sharing to further advance Islamic financial markets. "Our approach and research methodologies ensure we match the needs of clients whether they require investment recommendations within the global or sector context, or across the capital structure of a single firm."
Since its inception in December 2006, Kuwait Finance House has established a Global Economics & Research team based in Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad in Kuala Lumpur. KFH Global Research has published several flagship publications, specifically catering to the sophisticated investment requirements of debt market participants and to impart and share the knowledge and understanding of the Islamic markets. The reports generated by KFH Global Research focus on countries in Asia and the Middle East and act as an invaluable conduit between the two most dynamic economic regions in the world.
