Carbon Risk and Green Finance
As the world plans for economic recovery following the global COVID-19 pandemic, major economies are looking to comprehensive strategies for addressing carbon risks and identifying green finance opportunities.Since Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and Michael Bloomberg began tackling climate change as a financial concern, the international financial community has been developing sophisticated analytical tools that will enable the success of comprehensive efforts to address carbon risks and identify green finance opportunities. This timely publication offers a cutting-edge analysis of the financial aspects of climate change.It discusses the most important analytical tools, their origin, how they work, where they can go, and how they fit into a larger strategy.First, reporting frameworks can allow companies to see how well they are addressing carbon risks, in particular with respect to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.Second, by quantifying how much greenhouse gas companies emit into the atmosphere as a direct or indirect result of their operations, carbon footprint calculations can help identify carbon risks with particular companies, especially within supply chains.Third, brown taxonomies can help investors identify current carbon risks by classifying fossil fuel assets in a systematic manner.Fourth, green taxonomies can help investors identify current green finance opportunities by classifying sustainable activities in a systematic manner.Fifth, scenario analysis for assets can help investors identify future carbon risks and green finance opportunities.Finally, stress testing for liabilities can help insurers and banks address future carbon risks and better inform policymakers. Scholars, policymakers, and business professionals will find this book informative.They will gain a comprehensive understanding of the analytical tools supporting efforts to address carbon risks and identify green finance opportunities.This will hopefully make these individuals more successful in their personal endeavors to build a more sustainable and resilient economy for future generations.

Direct Real Estate Duration Risk, Total Risk and the Residential Mortgage Life Insurance (Rmli)
Chapter 1 compares the direct real estate (DRE) duration Beta estimates with the time-varying Beta regression estimates, for each of the three prime DRE sectors.Except for the prime office sector, both the duration Beta and the time-varying Beta profiles follow the same general trend.The luxury residential sector and the prime office sector are inclined to move in opposite direction.However, the prime office sector shows greater volatility in the duration Beta compared with the time-varying Beta. Chapter 2 demonstrates overall that in the presence of a set of limited available information comprising a direct real estate (DRE) asset's passing (annual) rent, the current rental value, the expected yields and the yield-growth movements from a DRE sector analysis, conducted by a DRE consultancy or service provider, the risk-free rate and the lease maturity period; it is readily feasible to model and rigorously estimate several key risk measures and the expected total returns (TRs).Such a model and its estimations can be achieved through an ex-ante integrated DRE risk-measure model, which innovatively combines the bond duration-convexity risk conception, the Beta distribution function, and the DRE equivalent (rental) yield valuation conception. Finally, Chapter 3 looks at the structural and behavioural experience of the prepayment risk for the underlying mortgages of China's rapidly developing residential mortgage life insurance (RMLI) market.A reliable private prepayment dataset for China's commercial center - the city of Shanghai - is deployed.Chapter 3 estimates the relationship between RMLI's underlying mortgage prepayment risk and the observable macroeconomic factors, loan specific factors and borrower specific characteristics.A Cox proportional hazard model is adopted for this purpose. Chapter 4 summarises the book's findings and highlights the contributions and recommendations made

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

Why is the registered mortgage important for a loan rather than the value of the property?
A registered mortgage is important for a loan because it provides the lender with a legal claim on the property in case the borrower defaults on the loan. This gives the lender a level of security and assurance that they will be able to recover their money by selling the property. The value of the property can fluctuate over time, so having a registered mortgage ensures that the lender's interests are protected regardless of changes in property value.

Why is the registered mortgage important for a loan, rather than the value of the property?
The registered mortgage is important for a loan because it serves as a legal guarantee for the lender that they have a claim on the property in case the borrower defaults on the loan. This provides security to the lender and reduces the risk associated with lending money. The value of the property is important for determining the loan amount and the terms of the loan, but the registered mortgage ensures that the lender has a legal right to the property in case of non-payment.

What is the risk of unemployment when investing in a property?
Investing in property does not guarantee a steady income, and there is a risk of not being able to find tenants, which could lead to a loss of rental income and potential financial strain. Additionally, property values can fluctuate, and if the market experiences a downturn, it may be challenging to sell the property at a profit. Economic factors, such as interest rates and job market conditions, can also impact the demand for rental properties, potentially increasing the risk of vacancies and financial instability.

Risk-Sharing Finance : An Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) Perspective
The contemporary finance deals mainly with multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) has yet to develop its conceptualization of this modality of financing.Thus far, it has become a norm for large financing projects to rely on a complex structure of interconnected bilateral contracts that in totality becomes opaque, complex and costly.An unfortunate result of the unavailability of an efficient Fiqhi model applicable to modern multilateral and multi-counterparty contracts has been the fact that the present Islamic finance has been forced to replicate conventional risk-transfer (interest rate based) debt contracts thus drawing severe criticisms of duplicating conventional finance. In 2012, a gathering of some of the Muslim world’s most prominent experts in Jurisprudence (Fuqaha) and economists issued the Kuala Lumpur Declaration (Fatwa) in which they identified risk sharing as the essence of Islamic finance.The Declaration opened the door for a new Fiqh approach to take the lead in developing the jurisprudence of multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.This Declaration (Fatwa) provides a prime motivation to search for a comprehensive model of risk sharing that can serve as an archetypal contract encompassing all potential contemporary financial transactions.From the perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), the technicalities of the concept of risk sharing in contemporary finance have yet to be defined in Islamic literature. This book attempts to clarify and shed light on these technicalities from the perspective of Fiqh.It is a comprehensive study that relies on the fundamental Islamic sources to establish a theoretical and practical perspective of Fiqh encompassing risk-sharing Islamic finance as envisioned in the Kuala Lumpur Declaration of 2012.This new paradigm should lead to a more efficient approach to multilateral and multi-counterparty Islamic contracts which, here-to-fore has been lacking in the current configuration of Islamic finance.

Why does a loan depend on the registered mortgage and not on the value of the property?
A loan depends on the registered mortgage rather than the value of the property because the mortgage serves as security for the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. The registered mortgage gives the lender a legal claim on the property, allowing them to recoup their funds by selling the property if necessary. The value of the property is considered in determining the loan-to-value ratio, which is used to assess the risk of the loan, but the mortgage itself is the primary factor in securing the loan.

What is the risk of cracks and ceiling subsidence when buying a property?
When buying a property, the risk of cracks and ceiling subsidence can indicate potential structural issues. Cracks in the walls or ceilings may be a sign of underlying problems such as foundation issues, soil movement, or water damage. These issues can be costly to repair and may affect the overall stability and safety of the property. It's important to thoroughly inspect the property for any signs of cracks or subsidence and consider hiring a professional inspector to assess the extent of the damage before making a purchase.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

What is the difference between a mortgage and a loan?
A mortgage is a specific type of loan that is used to purchase real estate, typically a home. It is a secured loan, meaning the property serves as collateral for the loan.
