Beyond the Headlines: How TradeBacked Navigates Global Uncertainty

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 | 5:00 PM ET | Zoom

Join us for a live webinar with TradeBacked, the specialty finance firm behind the TB Fund on Percent. With global trade routes under pressure from the ongoing Middle East conflict, rising tariff barriers, and a commodity market increasingly shaped by geopolitical friction — now is an ideal moment to understand how TradeBacked's inventory-backed model is designed to weather exactly this kind of environment.

In this session, Paola Rios of Percent will sit down with Sumit Saraf, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of TradeBacked, for a fireside chat covering:

• Why the TB Fund is built differently: TradeBacked provides inventory financing through buyback and sale leaseback contracts — not loans, not bonds. Their deals are anchored by physical assets with independently discoverable market values.
• Geopolitics and the portfolio: How TradeBacked structures transactions to maintain resilience amid trade disruptions, energy price volatility, and shifting global supply chains — and why the current conflict in the Middle East hasn't materially impacted their deal activity.
• The TB Fund in 2026: A current look at the fund's portfolio composition, underwriting approach, and what TradeBacked is watching in today's macro environment.
• Risk, returns, and due diligence: What investors should understand before committing to a 36-month LP fund structure, and how TradeBacked approaches borrower selection and collateral management.
• Live Q&A: Submit your questions ahead of time on the registration form, or bring them live.

This webinar is designed for accredited investors on Percent who are actively reviewing the TB Fund or want to understand how trade finance fits into a diversified private credit portfolio.

About TradeBacked

TradeBacked is a specialty finance company providing inventory financing through inventory buyback and sale leaseback contracts internationally, across Asia, Europe, the United States, and the MENA region. Rather than providing loans, TradeBacked and its affiliates acquire inventories and either lease them back to clients for a monthly rental fee, or sell an option to repurchase the inventory on agreed terms — provided the client remains current on obligations.

Transactions typically involve assets with independently verifiable market values purchased at a discount to fair market value, with built-in structural protections for investors. TradeBacked focuses on cashflow-positive small and medium-sized businesses with $50M or more in annual revenue and at least three years of operating history.
