Evolution Credit Partners Surpasses $1B in Credit Protection Amid Growing Demand for Alternatives

Evolution Credit Partners Management, LLC has announced a significant milestone, having delivered over $1 billion in Trade Credit Protection (TCP) since its inception in late 2020. This achievement highlights the firm's role in filling a critical gap in the trade finance market, providing tailored credit protection solutions for companies that often find traditional credit insurance or factoring channels inaccessible.

The demand for alternative trade credit solutions has been on the rise, driven by factors such as shifting supply chains, increasing tariffs, and a more cautious approach from traditional insurers. Evolution's TCP program offers a bespoke solution to these challenges, enabling suppliers, banks, and factors to secure flexible and responsive protection for transactions involving below-investment-grade buyers.

Rene Canezin, Co-Founder of Evolution, emphasized the platform's design to cater to underserved market participants, with the $1 billion milestone reflecting the growing trust and demand for innovative credit-focused solutions. A notable example of Evolution's impact is its collaboration with Casas Bahia, a leading retail chain in Brazil, where a customized TCP solution was structured to ensure uninterrupted supply relationships with global vendors.

Gary Tripp, leading Evolution's Trade Credit Protection business, highlighted the program's success in enabling Casas Bahia to maintain essential inventory purchases while providing suppliers with the necessary confidence and protection. Evolution's TCP offering distinguishes itself with features like protection against bankruptcy and non-payment events, customizable monthly protection amounts, and flexibility to adapt to evolving trade exposure timelines.

By leveraging its expertise in both leveraged finance and trade finance, Evolution Credit Partners continues to offer hybrid solutions that assist clients in managing risk, enhancing liquidity, and fostering growth, even in the face of market uncertainties.
