Executive Summary
This report is prepared for the Internship phase of BBA program of Stamford University Bangladesh. This Report focuses three months working experiences in Dakkhin Khan branch, Standard bank limited. This report will give a clear idea about activities and operational strategies of SBL. Especially this report focuses on the Different Investment Function of SBL . The report will provide a clear conception about Investment mechanism of Conventional Bank. This report contains four main parts. The first part of the report is introduction, objective, methodology, scope, limitation of the report. The second part of the report is about an overview of Standard Bank Limited. Standard Bank limited was established in May, 11. 1999 with a clear manifesto of demonstrating the operational meaning of participatory economy, banking and financial activities as an integral part of an Standard Bank code of life. I have also tried to mention some problems regarding SBL on investment, such as the problems of Mudaraba are: lack of govt. support, uncertain cost of capital, and the problems of Musharaka: lack of expertise persons, lack of legal frame work of Islami Banking in Bangladesh. The problem of Ijarah is: disposing the asset, when the asset is no longer being needed, uncertainty about the total life of the asset etc. To avoid the above problems, SBL can follow the following ideas: SBL can diffuse its scope of investment through focusing Shariah concept regarding investment among the bank officers, employers and the clients by strong training; workshop and clients-get together. SBL should initiate different investment modes according to diverse needs of clients by conducting huge research and study etc. So that they can be familiar with the overall Investment mechanism of Standard Limited.

1.05: Limitations of the report When I go for prepare a report as a BBA student. I faced some problems. These limitations are below: The time, 36 working days, is insufficient to know all activities of SBL and prepare the report. It was very difficult to collect the information from various personnel for their job constraint. As some of the fields of Islamic banking are not covered by my courses, thats why there was some problems to understand the activities. It is very difficult to analyze this issue without proper knowledge about Islamic banking. I carried out such a study for the first time, so inexperience is one of the main constraints of the study.

Risk in the investments and return there on are interrelated. An investment policy that emphasizes a high return must accept relatively high risk. Conversely, an investment policy that will tolerate only small amount of risk must be prepared to accept a relatively low return. As such, it is really difficult whether to select a high return port-folio on high risk or low risk port-folio with a low return. Nevertheless, considering all aspects following guidelines shall be followed as strategy for banks investments. i. ii.

Part-4 Identification of Problems on investment And Recommendation

Investment function of SBL

4.01: Problems and prospects of Standard bank limited


At the time of my internship program I have found some Problems which are faced by the SBL incase of its mode of investment and its mechanism with the difference of conventional banking mechanism. Those are discussed bellow

General problems:
The decoration of the branches is older than other commercial banks. They dont use the Share Mode of investment. Absence of Islamic Money Market. State law defers with Islamic Shariah Absence of Islamic Economic system in Bangladesh. In the money market of Bangladesh, there is no easy provision to take short time loan from the bank.
1. SBL cannot invest in Shariah prohibited sector, so its investment scope is narrow in Bangladesh. 2. SBL lead their investment operation within limited number of investment mode. 3. Entrepreneurs have no clear concept about Shariah and investment mode. As a result they do not want to take investment easily. 4. Lack of Islamic Banking rule in our country, the authority of SBL faces various problems in their investment operation as a result it cannot run smoothly. 5. SBL is shariah based & welfare oriented, so they should engage in poverty alleviation & rural development seriously, but they could not reach their idle, as a result, profit is not increasing.

Investment function of SBL


6. Most of the people of Bangladesh have no positive idea about Islamic Banking operation, some of them hold negative about the philosophy investment Mechanism of SBL, so they are not interested to generate the Banking activities with this Bank. 7. Investment is heart of the Bank and it is the main source of income of SBL, but lack of sufficient investment scope a large amount of money are being idle, as a result, profit is not increasing. 8. There no proper arrangement for women dealing in which many women clients is in a fix. 9. Lack of sufficient and skilled manpower some time SBL cannot invest their asset in proper portfolio. 10. Advertisement is the most important factors to introduce any organization, goods products or information to the people, but SBL is not eager to advertisement that can show their activities in the society.

Despite tremendous popular support spectacular success in terms of mobilization of deposit and distribution of profit Islamic banking in Bangladesh yet to achieve the desired level of success due to the absence of appropriate legal framework for carrying out Islamic Banking operations in the country. All the government- approved securities in Bangladesh are interest bearing; Besides, Islamic Money Market in Bangladesh is yet to develop. As a result the Islamic banks, which are committed to avoid interest, cannot invest the permissible part of their Statutory Liquidity Reserve and short Term Liquidity in those securities. SBL is experiencing different problems including the investment program under the Islamic Shariah. Due to this, it is yet to conduct the some schemes which are agreed with the Islamic law and some of the schemes has already been closed and which are under operations are not out of flows. The following section highlights the major findings of the problem that are associated with the investment program of SBL.

The problems of Bai-Murabaha:


Client doesnt repay the profit in time. Bank has to bear the risk of goods until those are delivered to the client and the bank is also responsible for any damages of the goods in this period.

Investment function of SBL


The bank will face problem if the client refuse to satisfy the contract.

The problems of Musharaka:


The concept of Mudarib being amin (trustworthy) is the basis of the application of the technique. The fact that the shahib-al-mal (in this case the bank) bears all the loss in Musharaka may result in moral hazards. The presence of moral hazards may not allow the bank to make large investment with individual Mudarib. This may affect the profitability of the bank. Lack of knowledge Lack of expertise persons Lack of governmental support Lack of legal framework of Islamic Banking in Bangladesh Uncertain cost of capital

The problems of Bai-Muajjal:


Client doesnt repay the profit in time. Bank has to bear the risk of goods until those are delivered to the client and the bank is also responsible for any damages of the goods in this period. The bank will face problem if the client refuse to satisfy the contract.

The problems of Bai-Salam:


Discouragement of the technique is that it gives the bank no objective basis on which to anticipate its profit, obliging it to depend only on speculation about future prices.

Investment function of SBL


Bai-al-Salam may not be attractive to the clients because of the possibility of being exploited by the bank through speculation over future prices.

The problems of Ijarah:


Purchasing of an asset, which requires certain marketing expertise. Maintenance of the asset and bearing all cost associated with replacement if the asset is deficient or fails to perform the service for which it has been leased. Uncertainty about the total life of the asset.

The problems of HPSM:


The asset can yield income only during its productive life. It is also uncertain what price of the asset will obtain if the bank wants to dispose it at any time during its productive life. Uncertainty about the extent to which the asset will remain on lease during its productive life. On expiry of the contract with the first lessee, the owner cannot be certain how long it may take to find another lessee or how much rent will then be agreed. Even if the first lessee renews the contract, it is quite possible that he might demand a reduction in the rent against possible defect that may adversely affect the productivity or service for which the asset was rented. Leasing based techniques creates liquidity problems.

4.02: Recommendation
Keeping in view the above mentioned facts an attempt has been made in this report, the following recommendation are given as to how SBL would be able to overcome its existing weakness and make SBL more successful in Bangladesh SBL should encourage potential customers, so that they be engaged in bring forth Halal Products by dint of Halal device, thus they can inspire their investment scope. SBL can create new investment mode to increase their investment mode by huge research & study.

Investment function of SBL


By arranging various seminar & symposium, it can possible to understand the people about Halal, Haram and Shariah and influence them to increase Halal business. To run Islamic Banking Law in Bangladesh, the authority of SBL should create pressure to the government. As welfare oriented Bank, SBL should increase their operation to remove poverty alleviation specially rural area in establishing their Branches in every Upozilla. To remove the negative concept about Islamic Banking, SIBL can arrange varieties kinds of occasion like Islamic Jalsa, Oaaz Mahfil, and Seminer and they can operate mosque-based discussion about Islamic Banking Function countrywide. By increasing investment scope, SBL can proper utilize their idle money through Shariah.

In every branch must have women interpreter, who will deal with women customer and understand them about their activities. SBL can develop the skillness of the manpower by increasing their varieties kinds of training facility on such as Computer Course, English & Arabic Language Course, Business ethics, morality, organization behaviour, related topics of General Banking, Investment & Foreign Exchange etc. SBL have to conscious about their advertisement (even giving a permanent timing calendar of `Namaz and Roza' with adding a brief glance of Islamic Banking Operation to every Mosque in our country) so that it can reach its marketing activities in `Urban', `Sub Urban', `Rural', even up to hidden village.

SBL can diffuse its scope of investment through focusing Shariah concept regarding investment among the Bank officers; employer and the Clients by strong training, workshops and Clients get - together.

The authority of SBL should pressure on Government bodies to run proper and sufficient application of Islamic banking law in Bangladesh.

Practice amount of doubtful income declined substantially during the year as compared to the past few years, indicating more carefulness of the Management in complying with Shariah. As a result, idle money will be invested to increase potential profit of this Bank.

Inclusion of more subjects based on the Quran and Sunnah in the Training courses of the Islami Bank Training & Research Academy in order to develop human resources having morally.

Investment function of SBL


This Bank should arrange a regular program like "SEMINAR" on Islamic Banking System and Islamic Banking Function countrywide to remove the negative impression about SBL. Arrangement of monthly /quarterly training courses /workshops for the clients selected by the Branches in order to promote Investment clients of the desired level. SBL should appoint a sufficient number of women employees to deal women entrepreneurs and professionals and understand their needs and thus create demand for investment. To fulfill the vision of "mass banking" this Bank should grants investment portfolio to new entrepreneurs /new businessmen new /companies etc. To gain success in the programs like "Poverty Alleviation and "Self Reliant" especially in rural areas, this bank should provides investment facilities on the basis of individual. The Bank should disburse total invested money at once to the clients to achieve full benefits of invested money. SBL should give more emphasize on their marketing effort and try to increase their sales force. SBL should appoint a Customer Relation Officer at branch level. SBL should make their credit approval and monitoring system more customers friendly. SBL should try to reduce their loan issuing and disbursement timing. SBL should increase their profit rate on different deposit scheme. SBL should try to attend different type of target customer. SBL should Introduce Islami Credit Cards as soon as possible. Maximum clients do not know about SBLs Loan schemes. They should carry out more promotional activities to make clients aware about their offers. It was observed that, SBL is absent in TV, Print Media, Bill Boards, and Sponsorships etc. Bank should advertise about itself so that it can attract more clients. That will increase the business volume of the bank.

Investment function of SBL


To avoid bad debts SBL should give more emphasize on Lending Risk Analysis (LRA) and try to conduct sensitivity analysis. SBL should give highest attention on recovery of Bad Debts. This concerns the Image of The Bank, to the clients The shariah council should give emphasis on introduction of Mudaraba and Musharaka modes of investment under various investment schemes including Rural Development Scheme.

4.03: Conclusion
Most of the people in our country have a bad impression about SBLs operations regarding proper managing in accounting and we dont have arranging information in DSE and CSE, So public is not interest about our bank because they think investment with us will bring them difficulties and it is uncertain to return their capital. But I must confess that they might have some problems in expressing information but we are regular punctual and cooperative and effective with our banking system. We have several investment modes, deposit schemes and loan function that can hardly any conventional and Islamic bank offer. Moreover we are offering Islamic banking system which means no difference between investments of SBL loan/credit/advance of conventional banks for this reason. They are not too much interested to investment with SBL because majority of our people have no proper knowledge about the activities of Islami banking as well as its investment mechanism. They dont know mark up is accepted Islamic Shariah. The bank is committed to run its all activities as per Islamic Shariah. SBL through its steady progress and continuous success has, by how, earned the reputation of being one of the leading private sector banks of the country. The bank has shown steady progress in this important sector. Main items of import (by the help of SBL) machinery, garments, fabrics and accessories, ships for scrapping, rice, pharmaceuticals etc. whereas main items of exports are jute goods, readymade garments, leather, frozen fish, fertilizer etc. SBLs capital adequacy, deposits, reserves, earning per share, export, import and remittances are increasing day by day. So, no doubt SBL is a growing profitable financial institute and its strengths are high.
