Trade finance notes provide structured funding solutions for commodity purchases and production costs, secured by a pledge of commodities and receivables. Once the trade is completed and receivables are reimbursed, the borrower pays the agreed interest while retaining their profit margin. This process is repeatable, enabling businesses to scale trade operations while potentially increasing their borrowing base or revolving credit facility (RCF) as transaction volumes grow. Self-liquidating trade finance notes ensure that proceeds from the trade automatically settle the loan, reducing risk while keeping operations capital-efficient and uninterrupted.
Every issuance begins with a thorough evaluation of risk. Investors demand clarity on the creditworthiness of the underlying assets. Key considerations:
Once credit risks are mapped, the note is structured to match investor preferences and risk appetite:
To ensure bankruptcy remoteness and investor protection, the SPV must be properly established:
The final step is making the note investable and ensuring liquidity:
STCF is a specialized form of trade finance designed to facilitate the movement of commodities across global markets while mitigating risk. It typically involves collateral-based lending, where the underlying commodities serve as security, and is structured to be self-liquidating, meaning loans are repaid from the proceeds of the trade. STCF helps traders, producers, and buyers manage liquidity and risk through instruments like Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, and insurance, making it particularly useful for large-scale, cross-border transactions in sectors like oil, gas, metals, and agriculture.
