Trade Finance Investor Day 2025
The Future of Trade Finance Starts Here
The 3rd Annual Trade Finance Investor Day once again returns to London, and it's set to be our most ambitious edition yet!
With a limited guest list of 150 leading voices from across capital markets, fintech, lending, and corporate finance, we’re opening the door to a new era of institutional investment in trade finance.
About the event
This year’s theme:
“Integrating Asset-Backed Lending in Corporate Supply Chains” explores the rapidly evolving landscape of embedded finance, digital infrastructure, and investor-grade trade assets.
From global non-bank lenders to tokenised liquidity innovators, this event brings the full trade finance value chain into one room, one conversation and one network.
At its core, the TFD Initiative exists to grow institutional investor participation in the trade finance asset class. The Investor Day is our flagship platform to mobilise that mission, thereby connecting non-bank lenders, capital markets experts, and technology providers to accelerate transparency, scalability, and trust across the originate-to-distribute ecosystem.

We’ve built this day for professionals on the front lines of working capital transformation:
· Working Capital & Trade Finance Lenders (Non-Bank & Fintech)
· Institutional Investors & Private Credit Leaders

Whether you’re sourcing yield, embedding finance, or digitising liquidity. Our Investor Day is where trade finance capital connects.
