All data is from inception to 12/31/2022 unless otherwise noted. 1) Total amount financed includes short term investments. Short term investments are defined by TriLinc as investments that generally meet the standard underwriting guidelines for trade finance and term loan transactions and that also have the following characteristics: (a) maturity of less than one year. (b) loans to borrowers to whom, at the time of funding, TriLinc does not expect to re-lend. Impact data is not tracked for short term investments. 2) TriLinc supports impactful trading operations, benefiting exports and/or imports into primarily developing economies. For borrower companies located in developed economies, TriLinc provided either: (a) trade finance facilities involving developing economy exports and/or imports; or (b) term loan facilities for operations in developing economies. The transactions involving these economy enterprises are included in the figures above. 3) Borrower companies categorized in the “Building Sustainable Communities” impact theme have chosen to track and report company data against one or more of the following impact objectives: Access to Education; Access to Energy for Households; Access to Financial Services; Affordable Housing; Agricultural Productivity; Community Development; Environmental Conservation; Energy Conservation; Food Security; and Health Improvement. 4) Borrower companies categorized in the “Strengthening the Workforce” impact theme have chosen to track and report company data against one or more of the following impact objectives: Capacity Building; Equality and Empowerment; Employee Ownership; Job Creation; and Wage Increase. Starting on January 1, 2019, TriLinc removed the “Job Creation” and “Wage Increase” impact objective selection options from its borrower company impact screen. Metrics and data for both impact objectives are collected by TriLinc but are considered as portfolio-wide inputs to measure TriLinc-support fund’s economic development thesis rather than borrower company-specific impact objectives. 5) Borrower companies categorized in the “Enhancing Global Competitiveness” impact theme have chosen to track and report company data against one or more of the following impact objectives: Access to New Markets; Access to New Products; and Productivity and Competitiveness Improvement.
