AIMA Alternative Credit Council Launches Global Trade Financing Working Group with Asset Managers & Alternative Lenders to Promote Trade Finance as an Asset Class, Alternative Credit Council 250 Members with $800 Billion Private Credit AUM 9th February 2023 | Hong Kong
The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) affiliate Alternative Credit Council (ACC) has launched a new Global Trade Financing Working Group with asset managers & alternative lenders to promote trade finance as an asset class, with the AIMA Alternative Credit Council (ACC) 250 members currently managing over $800 billion Private Credit AUM (Assets under Management). AIMA Alternative Credit Council (ACC): The need for a global trade finance working group to support greater participation by alternative lenders in the trade finance sector was identified by a recent ACC research paper Private credit and the trade finance opportunity which found that “One of the biggest drivers of change is the retrenchment and greater balance sheet management of traditional lenders, who have historically been the largest providers of trade finance and key facilitators of cross-border business. This happens at a time when demand for trade finance has significantly increased, with firms adjusting their practices in response to Covid-19 and renewed interest in and pressures on global trade patterns. The working group will work with trade finance specialists across asset managers, institutional investors, corporate treasury teams, data providers, family offices, insurance companies, professional advisors, institutions of higher education, and sovereign investors. Firms interested in joining the working group are invited to contact [email protected], Community and Partnerships Associate, AIMA. See below for more information.

Dr. Tom James, CEO and CIO of TradeFlow Capital Management: “I applaud the ACC’s efforts in this brilliant initiative which will bring greater awareness to a lesser understood yet vital part of the investments industry driving the global economy. Trade finance as an Asset class can deliver diversified and stable returns for investors whilst also delivering real world impact in the production and delivery of vital real world trade and commodity flows that drive our modern economies. This Group will engage with key stakeholders including regulators and allocators to support their understanding of trade finance as an asset class. Joining this Group aligns perfectly with TradeFlow’s experience in this asset class and its mission to help reduce the growing trade finance gap faced by SMEs.”
Sammy Fong, CEO of Singapore-based private debt manager EASTvine Capital: “This is an opportune time to discuss the merits of a well-executed trade finance strategy in an investor portfolio. While there is an increasing demand for alternative trade finance given the reduction of financing from traditional lenders, the current financial market conditions are also encouraging investors to look beyond the traditional investment opportunity set. We foresee growing investor interest in trade finance and also suggest that investors engage with investment managers to align objectives as part of their due diligence process. The global trade finance group is an excellent platform for transparent interactions.”
Kher Sheng Lee, Co-Head of APAC, Deputy Global Head of Government Affairs for AIMA: “Highlighting the opportunities at the intersection of asset management and trade finance are one of the key areas of focus for ACC and this group will bring together all corners of the trade finance space. I strongly encourage all individuals who are active in or looking at this space to join us in shaping the development of trade finance as an asset class.”
