Trade finance
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. In comparison to other trade finance strategies, our strategy’s value chain covers every step of the investment and operational process. This has allowed us to avoid the default and fraud cases that have hit the headlines in recent quarters and deliver an attractive, low-volatility track record.
