In the event that the actual return or profit exceeds the expected return the Investor grants a Tanazul to the Bank to waive the excess amount. Prior to investment by the Wakil in the DCI-i instrument, the Investor will need to decide on the currency pair which shall be the Base (investment) Currency and the Alternate Currency, the tenure of the investment and the Conversion Rate.
