ITFA And BCR : Trade And Investment Finance Forum 2024, London

ITFA, in conjunction with BCR, is holding the second edition of the Trade and Investment Finance Forum (TIF24), which is going to be held on 16th April 2024 at SMBC Bank International, 100 Liverpool Street, London, EC2M 2AT.

TIF23 will examine how the sector is currently interacting with investors, whether the Electronic Trade Documents Act, passed this year, has succeeded in becoming a catalyst for trade finance turning into a desirable asset class, how modern technology has become a transformative tool for institutional and private investors’ perception of trade finance. In addition, it will also look at the latest and future initiatives aimed at closing the trade finance gap by establishing a much wider market for trade assets.

We are also proud to announce that ITFA will be represented during this joint event.

Andre Casterman, Chair of the ITFA Fintech Committee, will lead the panel discussion at 11 a.m., focusing on “Pledging and taking security over digital trade documents and digital collateral.” Following this, Sean Edwards, ITFA Chairman, will moderate the subsequent session at 11:45 a.m., titled ‘Institutional and retail markets: How trade assets can contribute to a diversified portfolio.”

We invite you to join asset managers, insurers, pension funds, trade finance banks, fintechs, and all who are interested in alternative investment with risk/return profiles that align with the character of trade finance portfolios at the first TIF.
