# Sukuk al-mudarabah

Sukuk whose proceeds are capital in a mudarabah managed by the issuer; used by some Islamic banks to raise regulatory capital.

Sukuk al-mudarabah represent holders' shares in mudarabah capital that the issuer manages as mudarib, with profit shared by an agreed ratio and financial loss borne by the capital providers. Islamic banks have used the structure to raise capital intended to absorb losses. IIFM publishes templates for Tier One sukuk al-mudarabah, including a prospectus, a master mudarabah agreement and a declaration of trust.
