September 30, 2024
The Trade Finance Distribution Initiative (TFD Initiative) is pleased to welcome Allianz Trade as a Gold Sponsor for the 2024 Trade Finance Investor Day. Allianz Trade’s Sarah Murrow, UK & Ireland CEO, will join the conference as a guest speaker on Tuesday 12th November.
The event, now in its second edition, brings together a diverse community of asset sellers and institutional investors, sharing a mission to support SMEs and close the trade finance gap. Discussions will explore key topics such as sourcing liquidity for SME-focused originators, asset-backed securitization (ABS) in trade finance, and the role of credit insurers in ABS structures.
Sarah Murrow, CEO - UK & Ireland, Allianz Trade said: “Having joined as a member of the TFDI last year, we’re delighted to support its Investor Day for the second year in a row. Trade credit insurance gives businesses, no matter their size, the confidence to grow at home or abroad. Similarly, through our robust data analysis, risk intelligence and strong financial rating, Allianz Trade’s credit insurance can provide that vital layer of security and comfort to investors in trade finance asset classes by mitigating risks associated with non-payment.”
The TFD Initiative, with over 100 members, aims to establish trade finance as a prominent asset class for capital market firms by promoting transparency in trade finance assets and facilitating risk distribution through advanced, technology-driven practices.
“I am thrilled to welcome Allianz Trade as the most recent partner to the Trade Finance Investor Day,” says André Casterman, CEO TFD Initiative. “Market trends demonstrate how critical credit insurers have become for lenders of any type of size, in particular non-bank lenders focusing on the huge SME segments.”
