THE BARAK STORY

Barak has grown into Africa’s leading alternative credit financier since 2008

Overview

Executive Summary

Barak uses a time-tested approach to originate, acquire and manage structured commodity-backed transactions across more than 30 African countries.

Focused Proven Strategy

Barak seeks to generate equity-like returns in a capital-constrained market with relatively low volatility and limited correlation to the broader markets. Our strategy focuses on fully-funded or blended debt in the African commodity markets, using asset-backed loans with various forms of collateral. Portfolio Managers manage USD liquidity with respect to investor subscriptions.

Seasoned Management

The executive team is a hand-picked group of specialists with significant expertise in agricultural commodities, structured trade finance, logistics and loan management. Barak maintains a presence in Mauritius (Head Office), South Africa, United Kingdom, Kenya and Ivory Coast to ensure that the correct measures exist from a capital raising and correlating Barak fund deployment.

Robust Proces

Experienced origination and conservative credit approval terms provide control over portfolio composition and asset management, enhancing fund performance. Although Barak’s advantage over banks is quicker turnaround times, the Investment Committee is made up of ex-bankers who maintain the same level of strict reviews once a potential deal is addressed by a Deal Originator to the Head of Credit.

Risk Management Culture

Risk considerations are deeply embedded in every aspect of the investment process, from origination to underwriting and exit. With the implementation of the newly revamped Barak Internal Deal System, the Barak COO, along with the Compliance Team, maintain a level of monitoring and administration that is in line with global risk management pertinent to any investment asset class.

Alignment of Interests

Partners are Barak’s majority shareholders and have tied employee compensation to long-term Fund performance. Barak maintains a strong firm-wide commitment to best-in-class operations, compliance, and client service. Investor returns remain the top priority for Barak; We focus on the Barak funds’ returns as well as making a difference to trade and asset-backed finance that Africa needs.

Competitive Advantages

Flexible operating environment allowing for innovative deal structures which enhance investor return. Basel III, Dodd-Frank and Volker rules provide Barak with the opportunity to invest across a wider investment universe.

Specialized commodity trading skills

Most bank specialist trade finance areas lack physical trading skills, thus limiting the deals they can execute. By integrating its commodity financing skills with risk management skills, Barak evaluates the whole supply chain and seeks to achieve enhanced returns for normal credit-based risks.

We believe that Barak is currently the only Fund that has strategic access to 450 warehouses in eastern, southern and western Africa in which to store commodities.

Broad transaction-sourcing network

Established market presence and relationships with the most prominent traders, financial brokers, commercial and investment banks on the African continent.

Barak maintains a level of impact investment reporting through all of its short, medium and long-term transactions to ensure that it adheres to its Barak Social Responsible Investing Policy. The need for alternative credit in Emerging Markets around the world, not least in Africa, is a crucial element that needs to be addressed by the likes of Barak in order to give functioning SME companies a chance. Global trade remains the root of the world’s economy, and the opportunities for Barak to make a difference in its activities continues to grow year on year.

Barak

Investment Philosophy

Barak has grown into a globally recognised Fund Management company, providing investors with unique, uncorrelated strategies in Emerging Markets. Barak has harnessed a robust set of guideline beliefs and investment principles that search for risk-adjusted, valuation-driven yields for investors.

Controlled, Disciplined Approach

Barak favors companies in established markets and commodities that are conducive to lending and credit analysis.

These companies are typically stable, predictable and have low default rates due to high commodity turnover and ability to liquidate stock.

Invest next to Established Market Participants

Barak seeks to partner with well-known international banks to provide senior debt/co-financing on selected transactions.

By investing alongside these participants, the Fund benefits from their deal sourcing capabilities, investment judgment, controlling ownership position, and operational and financial expertise.

Exert Influence Over Financing

By acting as a lead or co-lead in the financing of the majority of its transactions, Barak seeks to gain significant influence over the structure and terms of financing.

Barak seeks to obtain enforceable priority security interest in the collateral.

Portfolio Diversification

Barak believes that a diverse portfolio mitigates economic, sector and country risk.

Commodity allocation and country allocation play a dual role in providing investors with a diversification benefit.
