Accessing opportunities in trade finance
We believe that 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.
At AllianzGI, we have developed a trade finance strategy that leverages a diverse panel of sourcing partners and instruments, the Allianz Working Capital strategy (“ALWOCA”). Key characteristics of ALWOCA are:
- Ultra short duration strategy targeting cash+ returns with low volatility and correlation with other asset classes
- Portfolio management team with extensive experience in credit analysis and private transaction sourcing
- Fundamental, research-based process with >30 analysts covering a universe of public and private companies
- Utilizes the credit grading of Allianz Trade, a world-leading credit insurer*
