3. Risk Stack & Mitigants
- Buyer/bank risk: Focus on investment-grade banks and stronger corporate obligors; confirmations or insurance where needed.
- Performance risk: Prefer post-shipment paper; for pre-export, use WR/CM and staged drawdowns.
- Country/political: Short tenors, diversified flows, optional PRI or ECA cover.
- Fraud/documents: Independent document check, title control, dual approvals, platform logs.
- Cash control: Collections through blocked/controlled accounts; no free-floating cash.
- Concentration: Caps by obligor, sector, country, tenor, and instrument type.
4. Cash Flow Mechanics
Step 1 — Buy/finance the paper.
Fund against eligible shipments or approved invoices with hard controls in place.
Step 2 — Monitor and collect.
Documents validated, shipment tracked, collections routed to controlled account. Exceptions escalated fast.
Step 3 — Recycle and distribute.
As paper matures (30–180 days), principal is recycled into new flow; net income paid out monthly in USD after reserves and fees.
5. Waterfall (Plain English)
- Servicing/admin costs
- Fund expenses
- Management fee
- Reserve buffer (1–2 months of payouts)
- Investor preferred return (monthly)
- GP performance over the pref
6. What We Don’t Touch
- Unverified counterparties or “story” credit.
- Unconfirmed LCs from weak/opaque banks.
- Pre-shipment with no title control or offtake.
- Sanctioned parties, restricted goods, or messy end-use.
