Igor Zax, Managing Director of Tenzor Ltd, published a new article, Receivables Finance in Context of Working Capital Management in TRF News (Trade and receivable Finance News, a major publication by BCR).
Editorial comment states “Igor Zax’s article in today’s trfnews, ‘Receivables Finance in the Context of Working Capital Management’, reminds us of the value of looking back at the history of modern supply chains and how working capital management, and hence factoring and supply chain finance, has developed from this. It also reflects on the potential frailty and dangers that over exposure to some supply chain structures can bring.
On late payments he says: “just a couple of weeks delay on 30 day terms increases working capital consumption by one-and-a-half times.” I wonder how many factors use such direct terms in their advertising material. If they do not, perhaps they should consider it, particularly as the trend is for larger companies to use receivables finance, and it is those companies in particular that tend respond well to the use of such analytic sound bites.”

As for CSDs, T2S represents a mix of opportunities and threats for global custodians. So we can state that there will be a number of different business models able to fit with the various different scenarios that can be drafted. Some of those models may also overlap with the ones of other T2S actors.

Distribution Finance- article by Igor Zax at Trade and Forfeighting ReviewIgor Zax (Zaks)
The article by Igor Zax, MD of Tenzor Ltd ( www.tenzor.co.uk ) is focused changes in distribution finance landscape and the way new developments such as Supply Chain Finance, Dynamic Discounting, credit insurance products and overall changes in supply chain management can revolutionize this area.Published at TFR (www.tfreview.com)
In the last few years, the financial markets have undergone dramatic change. While some of this is down to natural evolution, much of the change can be directly attributed to new rules introduced in the wake of the 2007 crisis. Regulators, legislators and central bank governors have been determined to avert another bubble bursting or an unexpected event that could threaten markets. Lawmakers have targeted key financial practices for reform, radically altering the expectations and behavior of industry participants. The combination of the Dodd-Frank Act, European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), MiFID ll and Basel lll signify the biggest regulatory change in decades. These reforms have resulted in major change to how financial products are traded, settled, collateralized and reported, resulting in deep and ongoing structural changes to the markets.
There is no doubt that these new rules are directly impacting buy-side firms — be they asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies or pension funds. But while the changes have certainly brought challenges, they have also brought opportunities. Firms that can proactively evaluate structural and operational dislocations in the marketplace and tailor business models to leverage the opportunities while addressing the challenges will be in the best position to stand apart from their competitors. Revised business models call for revisions to supporting processes and systems. Buy-side firms should look to re-architect their processes and technology infrastructure, with a goal to strengthen risk control and oversight, enhance transparency and improve efficiency of front-to-back office control functions.
The credit crisis, and the regulatory response it spawned have fundamentally reshaped financial markets for buy-side firms. But while the changes have brought about challenges, they have also ushered in opportunities. The key to success will be the speed with which firms are able to understand the changing marketplace and adapt their business models to align with the changes.

Next Generation Integrated Treasury and Trading for Energy and Commodity Comp...CTRM Center
Energy producers, traders and consumers today face a challenging trading environment with more regulatory oversight, lower prices, increasing costs and almost constant volatility. As a result forward thinking energy companies are already adopting a more closely integrated treasury and trading approach, a potentially overlooked opportunity by many. Typically, trading and treasury are separate areas of business with limited or no integration between them. The traders work to sell commodities at the best price or to profit from trading, while the treasury function with its concern over available cash, navigating future investments and doing so in the right currency and at the right location, has a range of responsibilities, including FX and IR hedging, broader credit management, debt and capital management and more. Usually, the treasury department gets a fixed time view of trading positions to work with and can miss opportunities to protect profits or control costs as a result as these exposures change rapidly. Even large oil and gas majors have experienced the situation where trading has a good month but FX rates moved against them to give an entirely different result. Despite believing that they were hedged, FX markets went against the company leaving it with significantly eroded traded profits.

Receivables Finance in the Context of Working Capital Management by Igor Zax
1. Igor Zax, finance expert and managing director of Tenzor, Ltd, a consultancy for risk management and
supply chain strategy, explains the broader context of working capital management, and how a better
understanding can benefit the receivables finance industry
When talking about receivables finance and the range of products on offer, we often overlook the wider
context of working capital management, and its place in global supply chains and industry structures.
Better understanding of this context should benefit the financial services community when it comes to
product design and market strategy.
Working capital management in changing industry structure
The first thing we need to recognise about working capital, is the enormous change in industry
structures since the concept first came into play. A ‘traditional’ model, of integrated manufacturers
buying raw materials, manufacturing goods, and selling to a consumer, is now virtually extinct. We are
now in a new world of ‘platform companies’ and supply chain collaboration.
In 1991, Richard Coarse received the Nobel Prize in Economics, for a theory of ‘the business’ based
mainly on the concept of transaction cost. Coarse posits that the overriding reason for the existence of a
business is because there are costs of putting together different market participants, costs that might be
lower within a single firm structure than in the broader market. With this in mind, supply chain
management and co-operation become that much more important, with better technology and
information facilitating the change. In fact, many industries have developed a model where Original
Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") have become “platform companies”. A “platform company”, as a
concept, was defined by GaveKal, in 2005, as a company that: "produces nowhere but sells everywhere .
. . Platform companies know where the clients are and what they want, and where the producers are.
They then simply organise the ordering by the clients, and the delivery by the producers, before placing
their logo on the product prior to delivery."
Modern technology applied to supply chain collaboration arguably makes it possible for many
companies to operate without significant negative operational consequences.
However, as became particularly clear at the time of the recent financial crisis, a company which has a
high degree of consolidation in either sourcing or distribution – often the best arrangement from an
operational point of view – faces considerable credit and operational risk. While the platform company
2. model, in theory, and in normal contractual terms, should provide substantial risk mitigation, the reality
is that often most of its business partners would not have enough capital to absorb a material shock.
In practice, what we can see in many industries is that companies that look good based upon their own,
stand-alone financials may be almost fully dependant on a few players on the supply side – such as
contract manufacturers – as well as on the distribution side. Even supposedly diversified companies can
see massive exposure to companies operating under very similar business models with expected high
default correlation.
In fact, consciously or unconsciously, ‘platform companies’ have outsourced their own financing up and
down the chain . . .
In the ‘traditional’ model, shifting financing up and down looks like a sensible strategy, and for long
time, companies that were good at it measured by working capital cash conversion cycle, with measures
such as DSO, DPO and DIO considered exemplary. Now though, there is more and more recognition that
if a resulted cost throughout the chain increases as a result of this, retaining a larger share of
diminishing industry profitability may be unsustainable. For example, no major OEM would be able to
sustain its channel collapse – there was a well known story during the dotcom crisis, when one of the
major industry players had to spend billions effectively bailing-out the channel, after loading it just
before the market collapse.
Key components of working capital management and role of financing products
For a company, working capital management principally consists of three elements:
1. Risk management
2. Financing
3. Operational aspects
Risk Management
There are three principal risks for companies when it comes to receivables – default risk, late payment
risk, and fraud risk. The relative importance of these three depends largely on diversification and
funding structure of the company.
Credit risk, surprisingly, is often the least worrying issue, particularly on a well-diversified multi-industry
portfolio, as default rates are quite predictable. It also may be cheaply addressed through the insurance
market rather than financing products. A significant exception would be a highly-concentrated portfolio,
where a single default, even with a good buyer, could lead to catastrophic consequences. In this area,
there is a general lack of available products – insurance and factoring single risk programmes for
medium-risk buyers are relatively scarce and disproportionately expensive, supply chain financing is
heavily focused on top credits, and only in specific markets like Spain and Italy is reverse factoring
commonly used for these situations.
3. Late payment risk is very important for companies with tight capital management, such as firms owned
by private equity. For example, just a couple weeks delay on 30 day terms increases working capital
consumption by one-and-a-half times, and can have far larger consequences for return on capital than a
fraction-of-a-percent default rate, particularly for companies with relatively large margins. Often this
risk is the main driving force for use of tools-factoring, and even more so for supply chain finance.
Fraud risk is important, but there is always a question of outsourcing it to a factoring company.
Financing
As a general principle, factoring is rarely the cheapest way of financing – supply chain finance is in some
cases, but it often just addresses a need that did not exist before the programme, as it covers forced
terms extension. The driver is normally accounting or covenants, like an IAS39 or FAS 140 compliant
programme, with financing not being treated as debt, and an ability to structure programmes around
covenant restrictions. In addition, it is unlike general funding, and is specific to product sale, and
therefore it may be treated as just an additional product to sell at a margin. For example, if it cost me
0.5 per cent to finance the extended credit, but I can charge the customer 0.75 per cent for the same,
I’d be making a 50 per cent margin on sale of financing, versus 5 per cent on sale of the corresponding
physical product. As a result of this, the wider view is shifting from wholesale purchasing of financing by
a large company, and retail sale is moving towards smaller chain counterparts.
Operational aspects
The third key area where both factoring and supply chain finance is utilised in working capital
management is process outsourcing, partially on collections. With factoring, this may be valuable to
smaller companies, as a factoring company will have more efficient systems – though such arbitrage
rarely exists for larger clients that may have efficient internal systems, or outsource collections to
specialised providers. Supply chain financing often delivers larger operational efficiencies, by
eliminating the whole process, i.e. once invoices are approved, there is full predictability and visibility.
Conclusion
Better understanding of industry structure, processes, and priorities of corporate customers are likely
to significantly improve both product development and targeting for all parts of the receivables finance
industry.
