Sukuk Structuring, Advisory & Certification

In conventional markets, financial instruments such as bonds, pass-through securities, and collateralized obligations are often created by pooling debts like mortgages, auto loans, and credit receivables. In Islamic finance, however, Sukuk must avoid riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation), while being backed by tangible assets or valid Shariah contracts.

This makes structuring more sophisticated—especially with the growing adoption of hybrid Sukuk structures that combine multiple contracts to meet diverse funding needs.

With Islamic assets now surpassing USD 1 trillion globally, Sukuk have become one of the fastest-growing asset classes. They not only serve faith-based investors but also attract conventional institutions seeking ethical, asset-backed, and transparent investment opportunities. To capture this dual demand, Sukuk structures must be Shariah-compliant, commercially viable, and globally marketable.
