Trilinc Global Advisors, LLC

TriLinc Global Advisors, LLC acts as the discretionary adviser to private pooled vehicles that invest in small and medium businesses globally, with investors generally admitted as accredited investors or qualified purchasers. The firm’s brochure discloses conventional percentage-of-AUM management fees alongside performance-based allocations, as described in each Fund’s governing documents.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes providing current income, capital preservation and modest appreciation through senior secured trade finance, term loans and loan participations to growth-stage SMBs, with underwriting focused on collateral protections, multi-year operating histories and ESG/impact assessments mapped to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. TLGA combines direct origination capabilities with the use of unaffiliated local market agents for sourcing, diligence and ongoing monitoring, and the fund structure permits indirect leverage via intermediate and master-feeder arrangements.

Several operational and distribution features noted in the brochure are distinctive relative to many peers: TLGA discloses that it may engage promoters and pay placement or referral fees to broker-dealers and other intermediaries, and it outlines substantial compensation-sharing arrangements with local market agents (including a share of performance allocations). The firm also runs a multi-jurisdictional feeder/intermediate/master structure (Delaware, Cayman, Luxembourg), specifies target transaction size ranges for direct and trade finance loans, and allows negotiated side‑letter rights for certain investors, all of which shape its incentive and distribution profile.
