Greensill Capital 2021 : Insurance Dependency & Single Point of Failure │ GP/LP Analysis - 3 Red Flags│EP76 T2
Description
This GP/LP technical episode dissects how a supply chain finance platform became structurally dependent on a single insurance counterparty, turning performing assets into illiquid ones overnight when the policies were not renewed.
We identify three critical red flags for any trade finance or supply chain finance fund: (1) high single-insurer concentration and renewal risk, (2) material future receivables proportion without transparent valuation methodology, and (3) extreme client concentration hidden behind insurance coverage.

Trade finance fund credit risk and trade finance fund liquidity risk are not the same thing. Greensill proved it when one insurance underwriter’s decision froze $10 billion in investor capital.
We deliver the active institutional framework to distinguish sound supply chain finance structures from those with a hidden single point of failure in their insurance architecture.
Essential for private credit LPs, trade finance investors, alternative credit analysts, and anyone evaluating non-bank lending platforms.
