Takeaways

• 😀 The main case in the script involves an investment structure in Saudi Arabia, utilizing sukuk (Islamic bonds) to fund various projects.
• 😀 The sukuk issued follows a hybrid contract model, combining two Islamic finance principles: mudhorobah (profit-sharing) and murabaha (cost-plus financing).
• 😀 51% of the funds raised are allocated using mudhorobah, which involves profit-sharing from productive entities, while the remaining 40% is used under a murabaha contract for the purchase of goods.
• 😀 The funding raised is used for infrastructure development projects in Saudi Arabia, such as ports, with a focus on generating returns over time.
• 😀 Investors in this scheme are promised returns through a profit-sharing mechanism, where profits from the projects are shared periodically.
• 😀 The sukuk structure involves an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) acting as the intermediary between the investors and the projects in Saudi Arabia.
• 😀 The investor's returns are based on the performance of the infrastructure projects, such as ports, which generate income through usage fees or leasing.
• 😀 A key feature of the investment scheme is the involvement of multiple parties, including banks like Citibank and JNE, for the collection of funds and risk sharing.
• 😀 The second case in the script discusses an alternative sukuk structure, which uses a hybrid contract combining wakalah (agency) and tijarah (trading) principles for investment in real estate and other projects.
• 😀 The investment funds raised through the second sukuk structure are also used for different projects, with one focus on real estate development and the other on trading and leasing assets.
• 😀 In both cases, the investment structures are designed with a built-in guarantee from associated companies to ensure returns or compensate for shortfalls in expected revenues.
