CommodityFund uses AI to connect investor capital with vetted, self-liquidating trade finance transactions. You choose each deal you fund, by operator, commodity and trade flow, and see the terms before you commit.

Every cargo of copper, grain or fuel has to be financed between origin and destination. Banks have pulled back from much of this market, especially for mid-sized traders and emerging-market routes.
This creates short-dated, asset-backed opportunities that investors have rarely been able to reach directly. CommodityFund opens them up one transaction at a time, with the underwriting, documentation and monitoring handled on the platform.
The Asian Development Bank estimated the global trade finance gap at US$2.5 trillion in 2023 (ADB Trade Finance Gaps, Growth, and Jobs Survey).
Our team and partner network source transactions from established commodity operators. Each deal is tied to a specific cargo, contract and trade route.
Our models read the trade documents, screen counterparties, check logistics and price the risk. Credit specialists review every transaction before it is listed.
Transactions are matched to investors whose criteria they fit. You review the term sheet and choose whether to participate and how much.
Shipments, documents and payments are tracked until the buyer pays and the transaction settles. Investors see its status on the platform the whole way through.
For professional and institutional investors. Take a dedicated position in a specific transaction through a Luxembourg special purpose vehicle, with ring-fenced exposure and full documentation.
Fund transactions in smaller amounts through our platform, alongside other investors. Build a portfolio deal by deal instead of committing to a blind pool.
Trade finance still runs on paper, email and manual checks. We use AI to do that work faster and more consistently, so capital reaches good transactions sooner.
Our models support the credit team's decisions. They do not replace them.
