Trade finance is an attractive asset class for many investors. However, it brings with it a higher operational complexity than other asset classes. Accessing trade finance therefore requires the right operational framework, a robust infrastructure and a thorough due diligence process.
At AllianzGI, we have taken a unique approach to trade finance and have designed our strategy to avoid the common issues of trade finance.
