ETRUM® Trade Finance Fund I
The Fund offers investors access to the specialised trade-finance sector through private-credit investments in collateralised trade transactions, financing energy and agricultural commodity supplies to creditworthy commercial entities and sovereign customers.
The Fund was established to finance a sovereign off-take agreement for energy and agricultural commodities, 100% collateralised by a sovereign guarantee, with the General Partner investing alongside a select group of investors. Transactions are self-liquidating — financing is linked directly to cash flows — short in tenure, strongly collateralised by the underlying commodities, and transparently monitored.
Best suited to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices and institutional investors seeking low-risk, short-to-medium-term returns uncorrelated with traditional markets.
