Alkagesta at Trade Finance Investor Day 2025 London

London, United Kingdom

Asad Huseynov, Managing Director of Investments and Asset Management at Alkagetsa, took part in the 3rd Annual Trade Finance Investor Day, organised by the TFD Initiative, on 10 November 2025 in London.

The event gathered over 150 industry leaders across capital markets, non-bank lending, fintech, and corporate finance to discuss the evolving landscape of trade finance asset distribution. The 2025 agenda focused on integrating asset-backed lending within corporate supply chains, the rise of embedded finance, increasing demand for investor-grade trade assets, and new opportunities created by digital platforms.

Discussions highlighted key trends shaping the market, including the role of multilateral development banks in supporting de-risking mechanisms for trade finance transactions and expanding access to global capital for local SMEs in emerging markets. The event served as a practical forum for industry stakeholders to exchange insights, assess the state of the originate-to-distribute model, and explore how innovation is driving scalability and transparency in the asset class.

Alkagetsa’s participation underscores the company’s commitment to staying aligned with global developments in trade finance and strengthening engagement with organisations at the forefront of industry transformation.
