FINANCING & INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS

Commodity Trading Group operates at the intersection of capital, trade, and execution, supporting strategic investments and the structuring and raising of financing and trade finance lines across the global commodities ecosystem.

We combine deep market expertise, institutional credibility, and rigorous governance to deliver capital solutions that enable scale, resilience, and long-term value creation for trading companies, project sponsors, and investors.

We selectively engage in opportunities where capital discipline, operational excellence, and governance converge.

Financing & Trade Finance Expertise

Commodity Trading Group actively supports clients and partners in raising, structuring, and optimizing financing solutions, tailored to the capital-intensive nature of commodity trading activities.

Our expertise includes:

• Trade finance facilities (letters of credit, borrowing bases, prepayment structures)

• Bilateral and syndicated bank credit lines

• Structured and asset-backed financing linked to commodity flows, inventories, and infrastructure assets

We work closely with leading international banks and financial institutions, leveraging strong credibility, precise risk assessment, and full alignment with banking, regulatory, and compliance standards.

Equity Investments in Trading Companies

Strategic and minority equity participations in established and emerging commodity trading platforms. Our approach is aligned with management teams to strengthen governance, optimize balance sheets, enhance risk frameworks, and support sustainable growth across energy, metals, and agricultural markets.

Projects & Infrastructure Investments

Long-term investments in trade-enabling assets and infrastructure, including logistics platforms, terminals, storage facilities, maritime assets, and industrial or energy-linked projects supporting global commodity flows.

Structuring for Financing Eligibility

We prepare organizations to meet lender expectations through a disciplined, bank-grade approach:

• Trading activity and flow analysis
  Review of markets, counterparties, deal types, volumes, diversification, Incoterms, regions, and transactional documentation to enhance bank appetite and risk perception.

• Organizational and intercompany review
  Assessment of intercompany practices, shared resources, and group interactions to ensure transparency and lender confidence.

• Compliance and counterparty framework
  Preparation of KYC, AML, sanctions, and counterparty due-diligence processes aligned with international standards.

• Financials, governance, and controls
  Presentation of audited financial statements, key ratios, track record, budgets, governance structures, and internal control environments (operations, risk, compliance, credit).

Bank Introduction & Facility Negotiation

Once the structure is financing-ready, we support execution end-to-end:

• Preparation of a coherent credit memorandum for lenders

• Introduction to selected banks and alternative financing partners

• Support throughout bank onboarding, due diligence, and documentation

• Assistance in credit facility structuring, negotiation, and pricing optimization

Our objective is to shorten execution timelines, reduce unnecessary costs, and optimize financial leverage.

Active, Institutional Approach

We act as a strategic partner, not a passive investor or intermediary. Our involvement may include:

• Capital structuring and investment advisory

• Board-level governance and oversight

• Risk management, compliance, and control framework design

• Long-term partnership alongside shareholders, lenders, and management

Governance, Discretion & Partnership Philosophy

All activities are conducted under institutional-grade governance, disciplined risk management, and strict confidentiality, ensuring full alignment with banks, institutional investors, family offices, and regulators.

We work alongside:

• Commodity trading groups and project sponsors

• Banks and trade finance institutions

• Institutional investors and family offices

Each engagement is driven by a clear strategic rationale, a long-term horizon, and a commitment to risk-adjusted performance and operational excellence.
