Fund Overview & Investment Rationale

Global trade finance gap remains over USD 1 trillion, driven by SMEs and emerging-market corridors. Our fund channels investor capital into short-term, collateralized facilities—purchase order advances, documentary and standby L/Cs, and pre-export loans—where yields of 6 – 10 % IRR can be achieved with robust credit underwriting.

Core Investment Strategies

• Purchase Order Financing: Advances against confirmed POs, secured by inventory or receivables.
• Documentary L/C Programs: Issuance and discounting of import and export L/Cs with optimized collateral.
• Standby Letters of Credit: Undercollateralized SBLCs wrapped by credit enhancers.
• Pre-Export Facilities: Warehouse receipt loans and forfaiting of receivables to accelerate cash flow.

Typical facility tenor ranges from 30 to 180 days. We underwrite each transaction for counterparty strength, documentation integrity and collateral perfection.
