Proposition for institutional funders
Triodos Sustainable Trade Fund is structured as a non-for profit foundation, financed through a credit line from Triodos Bank. The credit line is backed by institutional guarantors. Triodos Bank is willing to provide finance to the fund three times the amount of the guarantees. This means that a guarantor’s investment of EUR 1 million is multiplied to finance EUR 3 million worth of trade finance. Through this multiplier effect the fund aims to build a portfolio of approximately EUR 25 million in 2010.
Dutch development organisation Hivos is one of the fund’s launching partners.
The fund is currently seeking additional guarantors who are offered the unique opportunity to actively participate in the promotion of fair trade and organic agriculture in developing countries, and to increase the access of small-scale farmers to world markets.
