TradeFlow's commodity trade finance fund enters 7th year

Monday, June 24, 2024
Opalesque Industry Update - TradeFlow Capital Management, a global manager of alternative trade finance solutions, announces the continued success of its USD Trade Flow Fund as it enters the 7th year of generating strong and stable returns. Since its inception, the Fund has grown steadily, built on a strong asset-backed base with the exciting implementation of Fintech allowing the creation of new digital assets that enhance liquidity.

The USD Trade Flow Fund, launched in April 2018, was designed to narrow the trade finance gap faced by SMEs worldwide with low volatility and strong and stable returns in mind, whilst facilitating trade that would not otherwise be transacted. Since its inception, the Fund has exceeded its objectives, ensuring the flow of economic essentials such as metals, grains and fuels.

To date, through its USD Trade Flow fund (and EURO Trade Flow Fund launched in November 2020), TradeFlow has successfully invested in more than US$3.5bn of physical commodity trade through 3500+ transactions across 18+ countries and 35+ commodity types, with more than 1800 SME counterpart entities KYC reviewed. The Trade Flow fund strategy is also Shariah-compliant for Murabaha transactions.

These achievements have been made possible by strategic efforts to embrace the latest in digitalization technologies available to streamline all of TradeFlow's operations, including the storage and movement of all commodities enabled. Continuously pioneering cutting-edge financial solutions, TradeFlow has enhanced its proprietary platform to streamline operations and improve transparency for investors.

As part of its business model, TradeFlow Capital has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its investment strategy, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and responsible investing into every trade. Since December 2020, all of our shipping has been carbon neutral through offsetting emissions via verified carbon credit projects.

Dr. Tom James, CEO and CIO of TradeFlow, shared his excitement about this milestone: "Reaching the 7th year of our USD Fund is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team, the trust of our investors, and the enduring need for innovative trade finance solutions."

John Collis, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Legal Officer of TradeFlow, added: "Our success over these past seven years underscores our robust risk management framework and our commitment to legal and regulatory compliance."

Looking ahead, TradeFlow remains committed to delivering greater value to Investors and positive impact to SMEs and local communities.
