“…In the event of declining liquidity and profitability, there is often intense usage of liquidity measurement tools like liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), net stable funding ratio (NSFR), loan-to-deposit ratio, cash-flow gap analysis, liquidity buffer and liquidity costs (Susanti & Bahtiar, 2023). It is only through such analysis that the banks are able to discern their overall state of performance (Kunt, Pedraza & Ortega, 2021).…”

As the Caribbean financial market becomes increasingly competitive as a result of the increasingly more innovative fintech companies and other revolutionary traditional banks’ activities, a critical analysis of the internal and external variables and changes that can undermine a bank’s effective market performance is essential for discerning the improvement strategies that must be adopted. However, the challenge has often arisen from lack of the accurate approach for accomplishing such internal and external analysis. To fill such a gap, this study uses integrative review as one of the techniques of qualitative-content analysis to evaluate different banking performance improvement strategies and strategic management theories. Through such analysis, the study aimed to discern the integrated strategic analytical framework that can be extracted and suggested to the banking executives for analysing and improving a bank’s market performance during periods of disruptive competition. To improve a bank’s effective market performance during periods of enormous disruptions, social construction and re-construction of the merging findings imply that the accurate analysis and response to the unfolding changes in the external trends will require the banking executives to use the three frameworks’ strategic analysis to inform the competitive course of directions that the bank can undertake. The Three-Frameworks’ Strategic Analysis will require the banking executives to evaluate the stage of its industry growth stages in conjunction with the use of Porter’s “Five Forces of Industry Analysis” and Porter’s “Four Corners of Competitors’ Analysis”. Following the accurate understanding of the industry and market dynamics, findings suggest the bank executives can then craft and apply the strategies for leveraging their competitiveness whilst also countering disrupters. Such strategies would require increasing the investment in R&D to introduce novel digital banking technologies as well as the introduction of novel digital financial products/services that respond or even exceed the unfolding customer expectations. Other critical strategies would require the assimilation or nurturing and integrating the most disruptive fintech companies as part of the essential business partners. Once these strategies are being executed, it is essential the banking executives must also analyse the impacts of such strategies on the improvement of a bank’s liquidity and profitability. Basing on such insights, the study enriches the existing theories by offering the Integrated Strategic Analytical Framework that the contemporary banking executives can adopt for analysing and improving a bank’s market performance during periods of disruptive competition. However, future research can still explore how improving employees’ creativity bolsters a bank’s innovativeness to catalyse its effective market performance during periods of disruptive competition.

This study delves into a decade-long analysis of mutual fund performance in Pakistan, spanning from July 2012 to June 2022. It encompasses the role of macroeconomic determinants on performance of mutual funds (i.e., Shariah-compliant and conventional funds). The objective is to provide precise insights for investors and fund managers, enhancing their ability to navigate the complex mutual fund landscape. Our empirical investigation unearths macroeconomic factors affecting mutual funds. Factors such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and the disruptive influence of the COVID-19 pandemic have presented formidable challenges. Conversely, the study identifies resilience in mutual fund performance linked to population trends, the KSE100 index's enduring strength, worker remittances, fiscal policy effectiveness, and trade prosperity. Importantly, these patterns hold true for both Shariah-compliant and conventional mutual funds, underlining their consistency across a range of performance metrics. Our findings offer invaluable guidance for investors and contributes to the decision-making toolkit and empowering them with actionable insights.

“…It recently satisfied non-Muslim communities worldwide attracted to Shariah values that promote ethics, justice, and generosity [ 7 ]. Past research has claimed that IUT is a safe-haven investment, with lower risk, less drawdown by investors, better resilient, and faster recovery during economic uncertainty such as the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic [ 8 , 9 ]. Besides, the mutual fund industry has more potential to grow in line with financial technology (Fintech) development [ 10 ].…”

This study aims to determine, from the perspective of investors, the factors that predict Islamic unit trust (IUT) investment intentions. Additionally, this paper examines the moderating effect of fintech self-efficacy (FSE) on the relationship between attitude and investment intention. A total of 392 data were collected from IUT investors in Malaysia and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that subjective norms have the highest impact on investment intention, followed by attitude and FSE, while religiosity is not significantly associated with investment intention in Islamic unit trust funds. Attitude significantly mediates religiosity-intention and Islamic financial literacy-intention relationships. FSE significantly moderates the attitude-intention relationship. The results shed light on the key factors that increase investing behavior and have direct managerial implications with regard to marketing strategies and target markets. These findings suggest that IUT service providers should take the lead in attracting customers through effective and targeted marketing initiatives, particularly by enhancing customers’ FSE and capabilities. This study provides empirical evidence on the interrelationships between Islamic financial literacy, religiosity, and FSE in examining investors’ behavior using the Theory of Planned Behavior framework. The study explores the moderating role of FSE on the relationship between attitude and investment intention.
