Every transaction is considered on its own merits. Cap-Connect does not deploy capital solely on the basis of an offer, assay document or proof of product.
Capital
The right capital for the right transaction.
Physical commodity transactions do not all require the same financing structure. Cap-Connect evaluates the capital requirement of each opportunity and selects an appropriate structure according to transaction size, duration, counterparty profile and available security.
Corporate Capital
Cap-Connect's own working capital may be deployed where appropriate as part of the transaction structure.
Financial Instruments
Eligible transactions may incorporate recognised banking instruments where these provide an appropriate commercial framework between buyer and seller.
Collateral-Supported Finance
Certain transactions may incorporate independently documented assets or other agreed security arrangements designed to support the financing requirement.
Private Capital
Cap-Connect may raise transaction or programme-specific capital through private Loan Note Issues made available to qualifying investors.
Private capital
Capital connected to physical trade.
Cap-Connect periodically makes private Loan Note Issues available to qualifying investors to support defined gold trading programmes and other approved transactions.
Rather than raising capital into an undefined investment pool, each Issue is established with a stated commercial purpose, defined term, documented investor terms and an identified use of proceeds.
A Loan Note Issue may be used to provide all or part of the capital required for a particular transaction, series of transactions or defined trading programme.
Capital is at risk. Loan Notes are private debt instruments and may not be suitable for all investors. Information on this website does not constitute investment advice or an offer to invest. Participation is subject to eligibility, KYC/AML, suitability requirements and the definitive documentation relating to each Issue.
Defined Purpose
Each Issue identifies how investor capital is intended to be deployed.
Documented Terms
Term, return structure, payment provisions, maturity and principal risks are set out in the relevant Issue documentation.
Transaction Reporting
Investors receive appropriate communication and reporting during the life of the Note in accordance with the terms of the relevant Issue.
The Cap-Connect model
Trading expertise. Capital discipline.
Physical Underlying Trade
Capital requirements originate from identifiable commercial transactions involving physical commodities.
Dubai Execution
Cap-Connect operates from Dubai, one of the world's principal centres for physical gold trading and refining.
Structured Capital
Transactions can draw upon different funding methods rather than relying upon a single source of capital.
Counterparty Discipline
Transactions proceed through documented onboarding, commercial assessment and compliance procedures.
For gold suppliers
Seeking established gold supply relationships.
Cap-Connect welcomes introductions from established producers, licensed exporters and professional commodity counterparties seeking a long-term Dubai buyer for gold doré.
We are particularly interested in repeat supply relationships capable of progressing from an initial trial shipment into regular contracted deliveries.
Prospective counterparties should be prepared to provide full corporate and beneficial ownership information together with appropriate mining, export, origin and product documentation.
