Introduction
ITF is focused on responsible investing generating sustainable returns through international trade finance. We look to give investors and banks access to the trade flows from India and South East Asia to the G7 markets. We do this by combining the considerable experience of the founders with the technology and operational excellence of our partners. This generates attractive, low risk returns while giving suppliers access to a fresh source of funding. This single product focus also reduces complexity and allows funders to be clear what they are investing in.
Trade Finanace
ITF specializes in short-term receivables from growing trade corridors, collaborating with top Fintech companies to efficiently generate low-risk assets and provide stable returns to investors through meticulous risk management.
ITF Focus
ITF focuses on short term (up to 120 days) receivables from growing trade corridors. Trade is between buyers and suppliers with established relationships and goods that have already been shipped. This results in the principal risk being non payment which is managed by insurance. This results in mutually beneficial outcomes for buyers and suppliers while creating attractive returns for funders.
Supplier Strains
The significant growth in trade corridors poses challenges to the working capital of suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized ones. Traditional banks often fall short in serving these businesses, necessitating innovative solutions.
Cost-Effective Asset Generation
ITF collaborates with top-tier Fintech companies to generate assets in a cost-effective, low-risk manner. This strategic partnership not only facilitates asset creation but also includes operational and risk management services to enhance overall efficiency.
Ensuring Stable Returns
ITF, leveraging the extensive experience of its founders, employs careful counterparty selection, portfolio structuring, operational monitoring, and insurance to manage risks effectively. This comprehensive approach ensures that ITF delivers good, safe, and stable returns for its investors.
