Structured trade finance
Structured Trade Finance (STF) is a specialised activity dedicated to the financing of high-value supply chains, especially upstream financing of cross-border commodity flows and limited recourse trade finance. Every loan is bespoke with each facility tailored to the specific needs of client, transaction and jurisdiction. STF facility structures can provide short term working capital or longer term funding with loans of up to five years or more.
The tools and techniques of STF are used extensively in the commodity-related sectors for the benefit of producers, processors, traders and industrial end-users alike to meet a diverse range of funding requirements which include:
| Upstream financing | Downstream financing |
|---|---|
| Pre-export finance (including Contract Pre-payment) | Warehouse finance (for inventories of exchange traded commodities) |
| Tolling and processing | Receivables finance (for trade and other receivables) |
| Funding investment in capital equipment or production assets | Borrowing Base finance (funding a revolving asset base) |
| Development or refurbishment of production facilities (with or without project risk) | Provision of payment guarantees for sellers of crude oil and refined products |
