Following a hugely successful event last year, TXF’s second instalment of the Trade Finance, Supply Chain and Working Capital Optimisation conference is back – with more topics, more ideas and more guests.

The high-level, international Trade & Treasury event represents an opportunity to network with peers, share best practice with the industry, and learn from our experienced line-up of speakers and participants.

The event features a range of themes, from the changing trade landscape and rise of accounts receivable financing, to the increasing use of digitisation in trade instruments, streamlined business processes and disruptive technologies. For corporates, it also offers the opportunity to explore ways of unlocking liquidity in the financial supply chain and improve cash flow.

Guests will have ample opportunities to network with fellow industry professionals and take part in an engaging financial value chain simulation.

If you would like more information on the agenda, would like to participate in the programme, or would like to reserve your place, please email: [email protected]

TXF CONFERENCES ARE DIFFERENT BECAuSE:

We Are sPeCiAlists Trade, export and project finance is our bread and butter, and our team has a combined 50 years experience in delivering quality news, data and events to this market segment

originAl FormAtOur combination of plenary sessions, open idea labs, one-on-ones and educational briefings is truly unique. Sure, it takes us more time to organise, but it enhances the experience of our guests, something that underpins everything we do

guest ComPositionFor a conference to obtain longevity, there must be a solid mix of different types of people – corporates, agencies, banks; from different locations. It is our responsibility to make sure you get to talk to people at our events that you would not otherwise get to meet, and those that represent a genuine business opportunity

indePendentTXF will work hardest because we need to. This is our company - we are 100% independently owned, and 100% committed. We know we need to consistently be the best if we are to continue to grow

Commitment to tHe seCtorWe want to push this industry forward. We will personally play an active role in compering content, moderating discussions, introducing you to people and simply making sure you have a good time.

A relaxed, trusting and collegiate setting, makes for more open and honest debate – and that is what drives real lasting change – it is that simple.

no tWo guests Are tHe sAmeTXF events encourage discussion by hosting smaller sessions, with a more focused audience. Not everyone is interested in the same topics, so why does everyone need to be in the same room?

Our multi-stream and multi-format approach is the key to the popularity of TXF events. Whether you want to listen, debate or network is up to you. TXF enables guests to completely tailor-make their own conference experience.

CorPorAtes

With working capital optimisation solutions diversifying in recent years, typified by the rise of supply chain finance (SCF), are the solutions now

out there for corporates to effectively manage their cash flow? Is SCF being sold properly or are

banks failing to communicate its benefits? How can it be made to work for both banks and corporates? Is the key driver for corporates working capital optimisation

or safeguarding the financial health of their supply chain? What do corporates actually want from a

financial supply chain programme?

This simulation workshop will show you firsthand the bridge between the physical and financial supply chains of a firm. You will be immersed into an

interactive world whereby the power of true alignment and a well-articulated strategy, supported by tactical skills and knowledge will propel you to success.

Confronted with the immediate danger of saving a company in this role-play experience, you will drive the functions of procurement, supply chain, sales, and

finance to create a unified strategy all while keeping your customers satisfied. All of which is more easily said than done!

What are the key drivers for banks and corporates to adopt paperless processes?

Has the growing shift to electronic bills of lading

combined with eTrade Finance instruments such as electronic

Letters of Credit and BPO delivered real successes and measurable

results? What are the current and future challenges ahead as the move to paperless trade gains

traction? These and more questions will be discussed by bank and

corporate representatives in an unadulterated, no-slides, panel debate that promises to deliver

some real insights into the emerging digitisation of trade flows.

HoW Are ComPAnies using suPPly CHAin FinAnCe?

Using a rich data set gathered by Orbian over several years, academics from IML and the

European Business School have researched the ways in which companies use Supply Chain Finance. Do they, for

example, extend payment terms as much as they can, when they adopt a SCF programme? Or do they use

SCF to harmonise payment terms, which would rather imply a payment term extension for the suppliers? This session will see which theory the evidence supports, as well as raise other interesting findings about SCF usage.

In an environment where buyers and suppliers are dependent on each other, a responsible supply chain is more important than ever. But what are the key components of a responsible supply chain? What tools are there to support

suppliers? How do we encourage best practice between different organisations? Do large buyers have a responsibility to support smaller suppliers who come under financial pressure? How can we measure a company’s supply chain responsibility?

This interactive, audience-led session focuses on sharing best practice for what the ideal

supply chain might look like. Will it be with a single bank acting as financier and facilitator

or multiple banks and vendors? Will it have all suppliers onboarded or just the key ones? Will it use a corporate’s balance sheet, a financier’s,

or both? Will it offer dynamic or invoice discounting solutions?

tHrougH Credit-risk trAnsFers

Earlier this year, the International Finance Corporation (IFC)

completed its largest ever structured finance transaction - a credit-risk

protection with Credit Agricole on a $2 billion portfolio of emerging markets loans. The innovative deal looks set to increase the flow of finance for

emerging markets businesses while allowing Credit Agricole to reduce its

risk-weighted assets. Are such synthetic securitisations a ‘win-win’? What are the challenges to implementing such

transactions? Is this an efficient way for a development institute to provide credit

Supply chain and trade finance decisions are increasingly complex as they are often

objectives, which may or may not be aligned with corporate goals. In this session, Dr. Wuttke (EBS University)

unfair advantage?Securitising trade finance receivables can allow

companies to efficiently transform payment obligations into liquidity. But what are the

challenges to this method of raising capital? Should companies look to sell accounts

receivables on a one-off or revolving basis? Can securitisation be structured off-balance sheet,

within the trade finance space, this session explores best practice on dealing with the threat of sanctions, and how

With corporates facing a choice between multi-bank platforms and bank proprietary platforms, is there a battle brewing among

different providers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a proprietary bank platform versus third-party multi-bank platforms? Who are the main players and newcomers in each category and how

should corporates select the right solution for them? Are banks under pressure to coerce clients in the direction of their own proprietary platform in order to justify investments made in their technology?

Does having a single bank make it easier to manage a supply chain? What will the supply chain finance platform of the future look like?

tHe FinAl Word: A trAde suPPly CHAin FinAnCe roAdmAP

After two days of honest, interactive debate and discussion, this final panel concludes with lessons learned from the conference. Our panel of experts, including corporates and financiers, sum up lessons learned on how to approach setting up a supply chain

finance scheme; the best ways to optimise working capital; how to mitigate against risk; and what tools there are for measuring the benefits of a successful supply chain finance

programme. We will create a preliminary 10-point list of concrete recommendations for taking supply chain finance onto the next stage, comprised of ideas discussed during the conference.

ideA lAB: PriCing – tHe greAt suPPly CHAin sCrAmBle

Pricing in supply chain finance is proving to be very competitive, driven down by a pool of clients that all banks are chasing. Are the thin margins banks are operating on sustainable? Are there ancillary benefits, such as an increased client base and better relationships? Do

these justify banks’ pricing strategy? What are the key factors affecting

pricing?

ideA lAB: trAde As An Asset ClAss: WHAt is Holding inVestors BACk And HoW do We moVe ForWArd?

If banks cannot afford, or are no longer willing to operate extensive trade finance

services, could capital markets provide the answer? We explore some of the products and offerings that have come to market in this area (Trade Maps, Sealane, Lighthouse, CoTrax), the

lessons learned from these, and what the next set of innovations is going to look like.

So far, trade is a drop in the ocean compared to established DCM asset classes, so is it really conceivable that trade could be another credit

card? What needs to be done to get this on track, and is the industry making progress? How can the

challenges of reporting, data, transparency and terminology be systematically handled?
