Kilo Capital HISTORY

Kilo was founded in 2017 to focus exclusively on financing commodity inventories for commercial and mid-market companies in North America. Our experience showed us that banks had limited understanding of the challenges businesses face when dealing in commodities with volatile prices. Those few banks that have the knowledge and tools to help tend to focus on large multinational companies only. Our mission is to bring capital markets, hedging, and commodity finance solutions to the mid-market.

In 2019 we launched the Kilo Hedged Commodity Credit Fund. This fund delivers for its investors a pure play exposure to commodity finance that is not otherwise available. The fund is closed to new investors at this time.
