🔎 What is Structured Trade Finance?

Structured Trade Finance is a specialized form of financing used for high-value and complex international trade transactions. It leverages the underlying assets, such as receivables, inventories, or future cash flows, as collateral to secure funding while incorporating risk mitigation tools, including:

Letters of Credit (LC)
Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC)
Bank Guarantees (BG)
Pre-export Finance
Post-shipment Finance
Forfaiting & Factoring
Warehouse Receipts

This type of financing is particularly common in industries like commodities, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
