Aluna Partners in partnership with Allianz Trade win the Supply Chain Finance Award

Aluna Partners is proud to celebrate an important milestone achieved together with Allianz Trade, which was recognised last Tuesday at the SCF Awards organised by the Osservatorio Supply Chain Finance. The award acknowledges a Supply Chain Finance solution for SMEs, developed through the combination of Allianz Trade’s and Aluna Partners’ underwriting models, built on a shared vision, complementary expertise, and disciplined execution.

The SCF Award recognises excellence in risk assessment & management,technology, and ESG impact within the Italian supply chain finance ecosystem. The awarded solution distinguished itself for its innovative approach to assessing credit,performance, and fraud risks, three critical components of Aluna Partner’s scalable and robust trade finance platform.

Stefano Sciacca, Founding Partner at Aluna Partners Group, commented:

The SCF Award recognises our strong commitment to technology-driven, granular pre- and post-trade risk management. We believe that our partnership with Allianz Trade is instrumental in strengthening and securing our position in the fast-growing and largely untapped Italian trade receivables market.

Aluna Partners and Allianz Trade are committed to rolling out the awarded solution through a programme of up to €200 million dedicated to the purchase of performing trade receivables issued by Italian SMEs. Aluna Partners acts as Programme Manager for a series of securitisation vehicles regulated under Italian Law 130/99, aimed at supporting local businesses access to alternative credit solutions.

Our partnership with Allianz Trade is a testament to the importance Aluna Partners places on disciplined risk management for its investors. We firmly believe that meaningful progress in private credit and trade finance is driven by clear risk alignment, transparency, and long-term thinking. Our objective remains to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns based on our three core pillars: Preserve, Perform, Protect.

We extend our congratulations to the Allianz Trade team for this well-deserved recognition and our thanks to the Osservatorio Supply Chain Finance for its continued commitment to fostering best practices and thought leadership across the industry.
