IIG Capital
IIG Capital LLC (“IIG Capital”) is the trade finance affiliate of The International Investment Group (“IIG”), an investment management firm founded in 1994 and a registered investment advisor with the SEC since 1995.
Since 1997, IIG Capital has specialized in trade finance, one of the original forms of credit, with a focus on emerging markets. It is instrumental in providing financings to small- and medium-sized merchants, traders and processors with a need for supply chain financing.[1]
IIG Capital is headquartered in New York City, but has representatives around the world.[2] It serves clients internationally.[3]
The company primarily focuses on facilitating the financing of trade transactions involving commodities that can be hedged and liquidated easily.[4] These transactions are often between sellers in emerging markets and large companies in developed markets.
IIG Capital developed a financing structure termed “transactional equity,”[5] in which the firm helps fund the down payment required from a merchant seeking financing from a bank. This enables the merchant to qualify for the bank financing. Since its launch, the company has facilitated financing for over $7.5 billion of transactions. [6]
