The Need for Alternative Credit
Regulatory changes have significantly reshaped financial markets over the past decade. These changes are having a profound impact on global trade and, despite being in the public domain, are still not well understood.
Audentia Global drives economic growth by working with debt providers and investors to finance trade in real assets.
As experts in physical commodities transactions, financing and credit structuring, we created Audentia to bridge the growing annual $1.5 trillion funding gap, providing investors with access to innovative credit strategies.
