Abstract
Principles of financial product synthesis from a few basic financial
products constitute an interesting research topic inspired by Islamic
finance.
We make an effort to answer general questions that should be answered
before starting to investigate the main issues concerning this topic
with the formalization of financial products and principles of financial
product synthesis.
We also outline the outcome of some preparatory explorations, which have
been conducted with the purpose to form a reasonable preliminary picture
of the details of financial products that are relevant to the study of
the principles of financial product synthesis.
