What Limited Partners Look For In Trade Finance

  • Clear use of proceeds. Pre shipment, post shipment, or LC confirmation with matching documents.
  • Risk cover. Confirmed LCs, avals, or credit insurance with named limits and claims language tested.
  • Short tenor. 30 to 120 days with hard stops and extension rules.
  • Concentration policy. Borrower, buyer, issuer, sector, and country caps written in the memo.
  • Custody and control. Security agent, controlled accounts, and daily cash recon.
  • Waterfall. Priority to LP, then manager fees and carry after a hurdle.
  • Reporting. Aging, roll rates, claims table, and stress outcomes each month.
