Unlocking alpha, Trade Finance podcast, AI-powered BookBot
This newsletter, published irregularly, wishes to enlighten the labyrinthine world of trade finance, its trials, triumphs, and the global affairs that sway investors and anyone else.
The spectre of inflation and escalating interest rates has been haunting many households lately. As the economic vice tightens, alternative asset classes emerge as the heroes of the hour. Our subsequent article explores why we at Artis Trade Invest consider investing in factoring and trade finance a blessing, especially during rising interest rates.
Since June last year, we have been financing credit-insured intra-Spain pharma trade, currently yielding a net return of 3.5% per 90 days which is significantly above average. While this market remains a niche, we still see untapped potential. Our projections suggest that we can triple the current volume over the coming months from €10 million per quarter to €30 million, with further growth anticipated in 2024 hence we shall focus on this rather unique opportunity.?
Up until now, we have solely managed accounts. With increasing investors and trades, we need to transition to a different fund-type structure. Rest assured; this change will not impact the net yield paid to the investors.?
On a personal note, I am delighted that my publication, "Trade Works: The Trade Finance Investor," is now available in paperback and digital formats. The book wishes to provide a concise yet insightful argument for including trade finance in a diversified portfolio. I invite you to peruse it at www.tradeworks.info. A BookBot at the end responds to queries.
Your thoughts, questions, and feedback are very welcome. I value your perspective and look forward to any discussions these topics may inspire.
