HARNESSING AGRICULTURAL INCOME STREAMS
A suite of institutional funds that bring targeted exposure to different stages of the commodity trade cycle.
We bring together global origination capabilities, physical commodity trading expertise and institutional portfolio management disciplines to generate asset backed indexed linked income streams for institutional investors. Conscious of the dictates of Basel 111 and Solvency 2 on institutional mandates, we make extensive use of structured credit insurance, to the benefit of institutional investors, in our funding vehicles.
