Trade Finance
Instruments, frameworks and institutional pathways.
One page per instrument: economic function, parties involved, documentary lifecycle, applicable framework and points of attention.
Corporate capacity and institutional pathway
The two pathways are not interchangeable.
The same commercial objective may call for an undertaking given by a company, or for issuance by a bank or regulated institution. Establishing which of the two applies is the first step of any mandate.
The pages in this section are informational and describe the general function of each instrument. They do not constitute legal, financial or tax advice, nor an offer.
