Trade Finance Index

Blades International Trade Finance Index

In 2009, Blades International, Inc. started brokering Export Letter of Credit transactions for clients under confidential brokerage agreements. As a result, the years of transaction data have provided a foundation for a Trade Finance Index, such that clients can see pricing for the Export Letter of Credit (L/C) market.
