Abstract:
Switzerland based UBS, one of the largest wealth management companies in the world, launched Noriba Bank in May 2002 in Bahrain, to establish its presence in the Islamic Banking industry. Noriba exclusively provided products which were designed according to the Shariah, the Islamic Laws, which prohibited receiving or paying interest or investments in industries such as alcohol, tobacco, pork etc.
|
The case describes the challenges faced by Noriba in the
course of its operations.
It examines various innovative Islamic Banking
products like Shariah-Compliant Deposit (which provided returns through
investment in commodity transactions), Shariah-complaint FX Bloc (which provided
returns through commodity transactions and foreign exchange transactions) and
Personal Shariah Trust, which provided complete wealth management solutions to
its clients. Since March 2006, UBS started providing both strictly Islamic
products as well as conventional financial products to its Islamic clients.
