FG Capital Advisors

Commodity Trade Finance Fund

FG Capital Advisors is evaluating short-duration commodity trade finance opportunities backed by physical goods, receivables, letters of credit, offtake contracts, inventory controls, marine cargo insurance, and controlled payment flows.

The strategy focuses on financeable trade cycles rather than speculative commodity exposure: purchase order finance, import/export receivables, pre-sold cargo, warehouse receipt finance, borrowing base structures, documentary collections, LC-backed trades, and structured commodity finance transactions with identifiable repayment sources.

Target Exposure

Self-liquidating commodity trades with buyer, seller, cargo, route, insurance, and repayment mechanics capable of diligence.

Eligible Commodities

Energy products, metals, agricultural commodities, softs, fertilizers, and other physical goods where title, transport, and payment can be controlled.

Risk Controls

KYT, counterparty screening, sanctions review, inspection, collateral monitoring, payment control, warehouse verification, and escrow where appropriate.

Investor Profile

Accredited investors, qualified institutional buyers, professional investors, family offices, and institutional counterparties only.

Investment Logic

Commodity trade finance can create exposure to commercial working-capital demand without relying on long-dated project development risk. A properly structured transaction is repaid from a defined trade flow: buyer payment, LC proceeds, receivable collection, cargo sale, offtake settlement, or controlled inventory liquidation.

The opportunity sits in transactions that are too operationally detailed for generic private credit, too small or document-heavy for major banks, yet strong enough to support disciplined underwriting when documentation, counterparty quality, collateral control, and repayment visibility are present.
