Guaranteed Islamic Investment Note

GN-i works through Shariah-compliant investment strategies, ensuring that all investments adhere to Islamic finance rules. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to diversify their portfolios with Islamic investments.

Funding Societies will provide financing to Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) via investment notes, which are funded by investors. MSMEs will make payments (principal & return) to investors as per the agreed schedule.

In contrast to the normal structure, investment notes issued under the Guaranteed series will be guaranteed by an appointed entity (Guaranteeing Entity). In the event of non-payment by the Issuer (≥ 15 days past due (DPD), the Guaranteeing Entity will repay the principal and returns due to Investors. The rights to claim debt will then be transferred from the Issuer will then be transferred to the Guaranteeing Entity.

You can identify the Islamic product by the financing type that starts with “MBI”. There will be 2 types of financing:-
A. Term Financing - MBIBG
B. Bullet Financing - MBISG

There are two types of payment structure, which are bullet and monthly equal installment. MBIBG has equal monthly installment, whereas MBISG has a bullet repayment structure.

The investment notes will be guaranteed by an appointed entity (Guaranteeing Entity). The Guaranteeing Entity maintains capital and cash reserve buffers to ensure investors are paid in a timely manner where Issuers are delinquent/default on payments.

When an Issuer misses a payment (≥ 15 days past due (DPD)), the Guaranteeing Entity will step in and repay the principal and returns due to Investors. The rights to claim of debt from the Issuer will then be transferred to the Guaranteeing Entity.

There may be a possibility that the Guaranteeing Entity is not able to fulfill its financial obligations in a timely manner. 

However, there  are several mechanisms in place to ensure that the Guaranteeing Entity has the capabilities to meet its financial obligations. For instance, the Guaranteeing Entity is required to maintain capital and cash reserve buffers to ensure investors are repaid in a timely manner when Issuers default on payments.

While GN-i is a Shariah-compliant investment with guaranteed returns, investors should still consider general risks associated with Islamic investment products. These risks are mitigated through compliance with Islamic finance principles, making it a more secure option for those seeking halal investments.
