Bank is a nothing but a financial intermediary. Bank works as a bridge between the depositor and the investment seeker or loan taker. The investment or loans that are sanctioned by the banks are the most managing issue for the management of bank. Proper selection of client, choosing appropriate investment option for alternative, bringing back the invested money to the bank with profit are the core investment related work. If this jobs are functioned properly a bank can earn sufficient profit to satisfy its depositors and also for the shareholders. The banks that are regulated according the Islamic Shari’ah they operate their investment operation on the basis of profit and loss sharing. While the conventional banking system sanction loan on the basis of interest. That is why there are always observation prevails whether the Islamic banking system is doing well or conventional banking system performing better jobs. Naturally there are some specific difference prevails between the investment operation of Islamic banks and conventional banking system. From the context of our country Islamic Banks are doing good job comparing with the conventional banking system. Islamic banks are searching for Shari’ah approved sectors and bringing out smart profit. Among all the banks Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is doing the finest job in our country. Not only in competing with the Islamic Banks but it is absolutely ahead in performance in comparing with the conventional banks. That is why Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is got special attention to examine its performance specially its investment.

Regular return from investment can carry a bank into a healthy position. That is why every bank tends to make huge amount of investment and gaining maximum profit. So while investing there are a lot of tasks are interrelated. Making excessive investment not identifying the withdrawal behavior of depositor can put the bank in risky position and carry to bankruptcy situation. On the other hand bank cannot rest it money idly by not making investment fearing the withdrawal behavior of depositor. So there are needed to maintain a tradeoff between reserve money for depositor and money for investing.
It is also important for the bankers to assess the maximum return giving sectors to investment. Banks are committed to return the depositors money with some profit. So making sustainable profit is important for any bank. Profit Loss Sharing kind of business places the bank in a risky position. So it is interesting to see whether an Islami bank makes investment in profit loss sharing business.

In recent years there is economic slowdown occurred worldwide. The side effect of this economic slowdown put the investment situation of our country vulnerable. The RMG sector of our country is experiencing lots of trouble. Overall the economic environment of our country is not in most excellent mode. To overcome the crisis the banks are opted to invest in capital market to make quick profit which is not only making vulnerable situation of the capital market but also making the banks unable to meet the demand of the depositors.

Investment operation of any bank ensures the proper growth of any bank. To understand the performance of any bank it is important to properly analyze the investment of bank from different aspects. To properly analyze, analyzing the operational efficiency of any bank (islamic banking in bangladesh: performance, problems & prospects md. abdul awwal sarker) can be a handy tool as it analyze how much amount of money is used within the money available to invest. Under this head, investment opportunity utilization test, project efficacy test and other operational test are useful to analyze the investment operation of Islamic banks. Analyzing the investment performance in the light of mode wise investment or form the viewpoint of portfolio structure can provide a crystal picture actually which mode of investment is performing well and islamic banks are usually utilizing which mode. Md. Abdul Awal Sarker used this method in his article (islamic banking in bangladesh: performance, problems & prospects md. abdul awwal sarker) and Muhammad Nurul Islam shows the impact of mode wise investment on performance of investmen operation ( islamic banking in bangladesh: a case study of ibbl mohammed nurul alam). Ratio Analysis always a useful way to analyze performance.
