Structured commodity trade finance
Bespoke, institutional-grade structures for complex cross-border transactions. Our proprietary fund provides financing that traditional banks can no longer deliver.
Institutional financing for complex trade
Structured commodity trade finance provides bespoke structures for international trade transactions that are too complex or too large for traditional banking instruments. Our fund finances the complete cycle, from procurement to delivery.
With LTV up to 75% and complete risk coverage through hedging and insurance, Taper provides structures comparable to those of institutional investors, but with the speed and personal service of a boutique.
The structured commodity trade finance transaction model
Taper acts as the financier: we provide credit against warehouse receipts and are repaid as soon as the buyer pays.
Commodities deposited
The exporter or seller deposits commodities into an approved warehouse or storage facility.
Warehouse receipts issued
The warehouse issues official receipts representing the stored goods as collateral.
Receipts lodged with Taper
The receipts are lodged with Taper as financier, giving Taper a security interest in the goods.
Taper provides credit
Taper releases financing to the exporter, up to 75% LTV against the value of the commodities.
Shipment to buyer
The warehouse ships commodities to the off-taker or buyer once the sales agreement is confirmed.
Buyer pays, Taper repaid
The buyer pays for the delivered goods. Taper receives repayment of the credit provided, plus interest.
