An undisclosed institutional investor based in Switzerland has tendered a $250m (€195m) “trade finance” strategy mandate using IPE-Quest.

According to search QN1457, the strategies can be investment grade or sub-investment grade, with a maximum duration target of 18 months.

The investor asks that managers have at least $500m in assets under management (AUM) for the mandate itself and $5bn in AUM as a company.

It said it would accept a track record of one year but prefer one of three years.

Interested parties should state performance, net of fees, to the end of June.

The closing date for applications is 7 October.
