Based on Stephen’s personal experience gained through more than 40 years in the trade finance industry, this ‘Companion’ applies the techniques described in his ‘Practical Guide’ to an extensive range of international trade scenarios. Practical solutions are discussed and presented through a specially selected collection of 22 case studies. The comprehensive contents span 435 pages and include more than 100 diagrams, documents, keynote summaries and deal sheet extracts.
The reader is taken on a journey from the structuring of trade products including collections, import and export letters of credit, back to back credits, guarantees and standby credits to fully and partially structured financing solutions.
Practical in depth step-by-step guidance is provided on the formulation of each solution.
The case studies include the risk assessment and financing of open account payables, stock and receivables transactions and the evaluation and use of credit insurance as a supporting tool. The structuring of commodity finance across the trade cycle, to include warehousing, and call-off is described and how a trade and receivables finance solution can provide a compelling alternative to an overdraft.
