Introduction
Our internal risk assessment framework evaluates the
creditworthiness, structural integrity, and risk profile of trade finance notes before issuance. While we conduct a thorough review based on key risk factors,
we do not provide investment advice, guarantees, or regulated credit ratings.
Buyers of trade finance notes are encouraged to perform
independent due diligence, seek
a third-party legal opinion, or request an
independent credit rating from a regulated rating agency at their own expense.
How Our Internal Risk Assessment Works
We analyze multiple risk factors to assess the
viability and risk level of trade finance notes. Our methodology covers key aspects of structured finance, supply chain financing, and asset-backed lending.
Counterparty Risk
- Creditworthiness of
borrowers, trade partners, suppliers, and end buyers.
- Historical financial performance and
track record in structured trade finance.
- Strength of contractual obligations, past
payment performance, and compliance records.
Transaction Structure & Collateralization
- Type and
quality of pledged collateral, including
trade receivables, inventory, and warehouse receipts.
- Legal enforceability of security interests in relevant jurisdictions.
- Liquidity of pledged assets and
expected recovery rates in default scenarios.
Trade & Market Risk
- Nature of
underlying commodities, goods, and raw materials being financed.
- Exposure to
price volatility, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical risks.
- Foreign exchange risks, currency fluctuations, and market liquidity concerns.
Operational & Compliance Risk
- Adherence to
AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and trade compliance requirements.
- Operational risks related to
logistics, warehousing, and contract execution.
- Assessment of sanctions exposure, trade restrictions, and
global regulatory compliance.
Repayment Mechanism & Self-Liquidation
- Source of repayment, including
trade receivables, letters of credit, or purchase orders.
- Forecasted
cash flow cycle and transaction alignment with
loan duration.
- Structuring of self-liquidating trade finance notes to ensure proceeds are
used directly for loan settlement.
Structuring & Risk Mitigation
- Use of
trade credit insurance, performance guarantees, and risk-sharing mechanisms.
- Syndication options and structured
participation agreements with institutional investors.
- Oversight through
trustee mechanisms, escrow accounts, and multi-party governance structures.
Disclaimer & Liability Limitation
Our internal risk assessment
does not replace independent financial, legal, or credit analysis. Evaluations are based on
counterparty disclosures, due diligence reports, and market data available at the time of assessment. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or
future performance of any trade finance note.
We assume no liability for investment losses, claims, or damages arising from reliance on our internal risk assessment. Investors should:
- Conduct
independent financial and legal due diligence.
- Seek a
third-party legal opinion to validate transaction security.
- Request a
credit rating from a regulated rating agency at their expense.
Investing in trade finance notes involves
capital risk, market exposure, and potential loss of investment. Participants must acknowledge
the inherent risks associated with structured trade finance transactions.
Enhancing Transparency in Trade Finance Investments
Our internal risk assessment framework is designed to enhance transparency in
trade finance investments, asset-backed lending, and supply chain finance. While we follow a
disciplined approach to risk evaluation, the final investment decision and
risk acceptance remain with the investor.
