Trade Works - Schweitzer, Andreas

. .

Résumé :
Trade finance - the engine of global commerce - remains one of our time's most overlooked yet lucrative investment opportunities. In Trade Works, veteran trade finance expert Andreas Schweitzer demystifies this powerful asset class, revealing how investors can generate stable, attractive returns while contributing to real economic growth. Drawing on decades of experience and success in international trade, Schweitzer guides readers through trade finance's evolution, mechanics and future. From the historic British merchant banks to today's innovative DeFi platforms, he illustrates why trade finance has consistently delivered returns even during market turmoil. Through vivid case studies and practical examples, readers learn how to evaluate opportunities, assess risks and navigate the complexities of global trade. The book arrives at a critical moment. With traditional banks retreating from trade finance due to regulatory pressures, a funding gap in the trillions creates unprecedented opportunities for private investors. Schweitzer explains how this gap can be bridged profitably and responsibly while supporting sustainable development and economic inclusion.
