International Investment Group (IIG) is an American financial institution that specialises in short-term trade finance and commercial finance with a focus on emerging markets. Through its affiliate IIG Capital it is instrumental in providing financings to small- and medium-sized merchants, traders and processors with a need for supply chain financing.[1]
The company is headquartered in New York City, and has representatives around the world.[2] It serves clients internationally.[3] The company primarily focuses on facilitating the financing of trade transactions involving commodities that can be hedged and liquidated easily.[4] These transactions are often between sellers in emerging markets and large companies in developed markets. The company uses a structure it developed called “transactional equity,” in which the firm helps fund the down payment required from a merchant seeking financing from a bank. This enables the merchant to qualify for the bank financing.[5]
Another of its affiliates IIG Bank Malta, provides private banking, wealth management, corporate banking and trade finance in Malta.[6]
