    Our process is supported by a sophisticated and proprietary procedure methodology, adding minor steps to this proven concept among commodity traders.

    World Trade Fund applies a rigorous investment process that has been developed and refined over the course of a century. By focusing our investments in commodity trading, between the actual commodity producer and buyer, we pig-back on a proven concept, bringing innovation to the industry.

    World Trade Fund study the commodity trends and markets to determine supply and demand for specific commodity products. Our global reach allows our investment teams to draw upon a network of strategic commodity producers and buyers, strategic financial institutions and existing portfolios to produce investment opportunities within the scope of the commodity product currently presenting high demand.

    To effectively screen potential opportunities, team members undertake a high level, fundamental review of the opportunity. This initial review considers the merits and risks of the opportunity, the expected range of returns and the likely impact that the investment would have on the portfolio. Investment proposals that display attractive risk adjusted returns and would complement the portfolio are presented to an investments sub-committee for consideration.

    World Trade Fund’s rigorous due diligence processes covers all commercial aspects of a potential investment, including the industry and competitive landscape, regulatory regimes, the asset’s management team, operating characteristics and forecast cash flows. Our investment team’s experience enables us to identify and accurately assess potential risks associated with an specific commodity trading transaction, proposed financing requirements, expected returns and legal and tax considerations.

    The Investments Committee (as required) review investment recommendations for approval. Investment proposals, accompanied by an evaluation of the deal’s merits and its impact on the infrastructure portfolio, are typically presented to the committees at multiple stages of the due diligence process so that early feedback can be incorporated.

    Active commodity transaction management is fundamental to World Trade Fund’s approach. Every investment recommendation includes a comprehensive business plan that details the strategic, financial, operational and considerations that must be managed after the close of a transaction. Through this process, we ensure that investment directors and board representatives are well prepared to oversee the ongoing transaction among commodity producers and buyers from the day the deal is closed.

     

    At the conclusion of each transaction, the team provides an analysis of the investment process, due diligence and investment outcome to the Investments Committee to capture learning opportunities for continuous improvement.
