Connecting capital to trade

Trade does not move without capital. Shipments, transactions, and supply chains depend on it.

Alteia Fund Management Ltd (AFML) gives investors direct exposure to that capital need. We finance real trade activity in Africa and the GCC, in markets where we have developed relationships, knowledge, and transaction history. Each facility is assessed through a rigorous underwriting process designed to support capital preservation.

Demand for trade finance capital in these markets continues to grow. We are positioned to identify and access these opportunities on behalf of our investors.
