Providing small to medium size physical commodity traders with a reliable alternative to banks for trade finance solutions.
We finance transactions, not companies. We are not a lender in a traditional manner and we do not provide loans to companies. All funding that we provide is repaid upon completion of the transaction and our exposure ends at that point.

SYNCAP Partners
SynCap Partners is an independent asset manager and investment advisory firm that acts as an alternative finance provider in the global physical commodity markets. SynCap’s management team have directly overseen over US$20 billion in commodity trade finance transactions.
SynCap invests into risk-efficient, short-term, over-collateralised, in-transit and receivables financing transactions; we fund transactions not companies, which relate with importation, processing, trading and distribution of physical commodities within Europe, North America, the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions.

SynCap benefits from proprietary deal flow generated from decades of successfully funding established miners, producers, refiners, processors, traders and distributors in multiple geographies on behalf of financial institutions. Many of these companies are unable to obtain funding for their activities due to financial institutions scaling back their commodity trade finance activities/lending books over recent years.
SynCap investment vehicles act as a wrapper for high-quality portfolios of commodity trade financing assets. These vehicles act as a bridge for our flagship product – a series of rated and unrated asset-backed securities. SynCap also manages dedicated “managed accounts” on behalf of institutional investors seeking bespoke exposure to the commodity trade finance universe.
