Structured Collateral Facility for Trade Finance

Structured Finance is “a form of financing where investors look solely or primarily to the cash flows of a specific commodities transaction to repay debt service and to all of the underlying trade assets (physical & contractual) as collateral for the investment” unless otherwise guaranteed. This results in a short-term, self-liquidating structure, secured through borrowed collateral along with liens on trade receivable or export letter of credit, and by the underlying commodity and related off-take contracts.
