Publications

CFIIM publishes on two parallel tracks. The academic track targets peer-reviewed journals and builds the scholarlyfoundation. The practitioner track translates findings into governance tools and frameworks that allocators, fundsponsors, and advisory boards can use immediately.

Publications

Founding survey data (n=50, January 2026) is described as exploratory in design and scope. Frameworks grounded in this data are interpretive rather than definitively proven. Sample limitations are documented in every publication that relies on these data.

Concepts introduced by CFIIM — commitment latency, the GETA sequence, the Six Frictions Framework — are clearly identified as constructs derived from data synthesis, not established empirical laws. Each is offered for testing, not asserted as proven.

Introduces a twelve-domain weighted scoring architecture that makes governance quality in Islamic financial institutions externally observable, comparable, and decision-useful. Applied across five institutions in four jurisdictions.

Proposes an integrated four-layer capital stack for MENA healthcare infrastructure: Waqf (concessional quasi-equity), Sukuk (senior debt), physician-led private equity (operating layer), and DFI co-investment (de-risking). Establishes physician-led general partnership as a structural governance requirement rather than a branding decision. The first applied healthcare capital architecture for the governance thesis.

CFIIM Research · 2026
Demonstrates empirically that Shariah labelling without documented governance process is associated with increased hesitation rather than reduced hesitation — a finding that inverts the standard Islamic finance capital formation assumption. Introduces the GETA sequence (Governance → Education → Trust → Allocation) as the capital formation pathway consistent with the data.

CFIIM Research · 2026
Introduces commitment latency as a measurable structural behaviour in private market allocation — distinct from rejection, risk aversion, and pricing disagreement. Identifies six structural frictions inhibiting investor confidence from an exploratory practitioner survey (n=50), with governance credibility as the leading constraint. The paper establishes the diagnostic foundation for CFIIM's research programme.
