Geneva · Since 1988

The integrated trading,
trade finance & shipping group.

Tradco Global Group has arranged, financed and moved international trade since 1988, from a single Geneva trading desk to a group of specialist businesses, each independently capable, each drawing on the same relationships and the same reputation.

The Group

An integrated trading house, built in Geneva.

Three capabilities operate under the Group today: international trading, structured trade finance, and shipping & logistics. Each is coordinated from Geneva and delivered through long-standing partners across producing, financing and shipping markets worldwide.

The Group's approach has changed little in three decades: build relationships that last, structure transactions carefully, and let the work speak for the Group rather than the reverse.

Capability 02

Trade Finance

Arranging and structuring trade and commodity finance for international transactions.

Tradco Global Group specialises in arranging and structuring the trade and commodity finance that underpins international transactions. Structured correctly, financing can secure a cash sale for the exporter and lower the cost of credit for the buyer, improving the outcome for both sides of a trade.

Drawing on relationships with banks, credit insurers and risk agencies, the Group structures financing solutions designed around the transaction, not a standard product.
