How to Invest in Trade Finance Through Our Short Tenor Fund

You want real economy yield without taking five year duration risk. Our fund focuses on short tenor, self liquidating trade assets with strong control of cash and collateral. We source, underwrite, and monitor each flow so principal turns quickly and income shows up on schedule.

Outcome: diversified exposure to short dated, asset backed trade financings with tight controls, transparent reporting, and a clear path to cash returns.

Who This Allocation Fits

Treasury replacement
Family offices and professionals seeking steady income with months not years of duration.
Diversifier
Allocators adding low correlation assets alongside bonds and equities.
Floating rate preference
Investors who prefer coupons that reset and do not get smashed by rate cycles.
Hands on transparency
LPs who want position level data, control docs, and clear default and recovery reporting.

How The Strategy Works

Deal selection
Short cycle financings secured by LCs, warehouse receipts, insured AR, or title control at named terminals.
Collateral and cash control
Account control agreements, collateral managers, insurer endorsements, and clear waterfalls to repay the fund first.
Tenor discipline
Typical exposures 30 to 180 days. We avoid long tail credits and soft collateral.
Diversification
Limits by borrower, product, port, and corridor so no single choke point can take down the book.

Investor Questions We Get A Lot

What is the risk of loss
Trade finance is credit. Defaults can happen. We aim to keep severity low with control of cash and collateral and by turning exposure quickly.
How liquid is the fund
Redemption windows align to asset tenor, with notice and gates. Exact terms are in the fund documents.
How do rising rates affect returns
Coupons are typically floating and reset on short cycles, which helps in higher rate environments. Hedge costs and credit spreads also matter.
Where do deals come from
Direct originations and bank syndications in corridors we know. We do not touch KTT, leased SBLC, or similar noise.
If you want short duration income from real economy flows, request the investor pack. We will show you the pipeline, the controls, and how your allocation is deployed and monitored.
