The significant rise in the wealth of Islamic countries has provided numerous opportunities for the wealth management industry to manage the surplus funds in accordance with the Shariah principles.
Interest in Islamic wealth management comes not only from affluent Muslims who desire to see their wealth preserved and enhanced within the framework of Shariah law, but equally from
who view this as an ethical mode of investment. The latter also invest in Shariah compliant funds for diversification purposes.
The aim of this conference is to provide the participants with a good background in Islamic financial planning and wealth management and focus on the role of private banker as Shariah compliant trusted advisers who counsels individuals as well as families through the transitional stage as wealth is transferred from one generation to another. It will also discussed issues such as prospecting, fact finding, know your client (KYC), and wealth protection and explore ways of how to grow your fortune.

The Islamic Financial Planning and Wealth Management Conference, IFPC 2009 received a boost when Counseling and Credit Management Agency, AKPK confirmed itself as Gold sponsor.

While no official or precise statistics are available, there are clear indications that more and more people are getting into debt. This conclusion can be rightly inferred from the growing number of notices of bankruptcies in the dailies. Also, according to Bank Negara reports, the outstanding balances due from credit cardholders are steadily growing. Getting a loan in the easy-credit world we live in is never a problem. The problems start when borrowers are unable to pay up when their loans become due. Severe financial problems can have a debilitating effect on one's health, sometimes to the extent of jeopardizing life itself.

Malaysia has come a long way in building a global reputation for Islamic finance and banking. Since the introduction of Islamic banking service 26 years ago, it has grown to become a leading Islamic financial hub in the region. In retrospect, going Islamic has also turned out to be a laudable move. Over the past eight years, the country's Islamic banking sector had registered an annual rate of 20% in terms of assets. In the same period the share of Islamic banking assets had doubled from 6.9% to 17.4%. Currently, it is the global leader in sukuk issuance, accounting for 62% of total global sukuk outstanding.
A natural progression to match the country's success in the Islamic financial sector would be the building up of a vibrant financial planning and wealth management sector along Islamic guidelines. No matter what the doomsayers say about the state of the world economy, the fact still remains that globally, personal financial wealth is still growing at an astounding rate.
