OUR HISTORYCorporation Financière Européenne SA (CFE) was founded by Mario Cordoni, who has
held the post of Managing Director since 2001. Prior to CFE’s creation, Mr. Cordoni was a
metals trader, exporting mainly to emerging markets. Thanks to a fruitful collaboration
with Massimiliano Piunti, a specialist in structuring financing in favour of exporters and
importers, Mr Cordoni recognized the potential in creating a dedicated advisory service for
Trade Finance.
Consequently, CFE was born, with backing from one of Italy’s leading banks, UBI Banca. With
the contribution of Duccio Duranti, CFE has grown from an advisor to a financial house that
actively participates in trade financing itself has enabled the Company to grow, flourish and
diversify. Over the past decade CFE has arranged Trade Finance transactions in excess of USD
2.5 Billion and today has increased its shareholder equity to EUR 45 Million.

SECURITIES TRADING
CFE is recognized as one of Europe’s leading, non-banking
entities in the field of Trade Finance: an area of expertise that
ranges over two decades. Today, we act as advisors in Trade
Finance and facilitate our own deals.
CFE’s Trading Desk is active mainly in fixed income products
focused on EM, Govies, Corporates and High Yield. The
objective is to achieve and offer a diversification of credit
exposure in instruments with greater liquidity.
CFE provides a 360° service in Asset Management.
Our strength lies in providing clients from other areas of the
business a personalized service that reflects their ambitions,
financial objectives and risk aversion profiles.
TRADE FINANCESince its creation, CFE has specialized in offering insightful Trade Finance services, initially in a solely advisory capacity. For the past decade, however, CFE has itself facilitated and financed Trade Finance opportunities.
With a holding company based in Luxembourg, Office headquarters in Geneva, and satellite offices in,
Paris, Speyer (Germany) and Buenos Aires, CFE is a truly international player.
Our expertise is based on experience that dates back over a quarter of a century. Today, CFE is recognized
as one of the top three non-banking independent Trade Finance institutions operating in Europe.
A broad range of services:
CFE currently provides advisory services to exporters of goods and commodities worldwide, with
particular emphasis in the following areas:
• Forfaiting
• Silent confirmations
• Transactional equity financing
• Pre Export Finance
• Distressed debt opportunities
• Market execution
To date, CFE has arranged Trade Finance transactions with a market value of over USD 2.5 billion.
“Today, CFE is recognized as one of the top three non-banking independent Trade Finance institutions operating in Europe“
ASSET MANAGEMENTFollowing its success in Trade Finance, 2010 saw CFE expand its service offering into Asset Management with its regulated entities in Switzerland (CFE Asset Management S.A.) and in the United Kingdom (CFE (UK) Ltd.). The objective is to provide existing clients and potential new clients with a highly-personalized, expert service.
While banks and other large financial institutions may have individuals as customers in different
capacities, the very size and nature of such organizations makes it difficult to find synergies and offer
a true 360-degree service. This is where CFE excels, taking an holistic approach that considers an
individual’s interests and approach to finance, which cross the boundaries of our disciplines. We address
such interconnectedness as a reality of each person’s needs.
Technical expertise with our own proprietary model
CFE’s approach in the asset management field is
to safeguard and enrich the personal wealth of our
clients. To better service our customers CFE has
created the Dynamic Risk Reduction Model© (DRRM),
which helps us to construct clients’ portfolios
based on their risk preferences. DRRM consists of
a methodology of closely monitoring and analyzing
financial markets: this enables us to make the right
allocations at the right moment on different liquid
asset classes, such as Bonds, Exchange Traded Funds
and Cash, thus maximizing performance. Beyond
this, the spirit of our approach is to always ensure
the security of portfolios under mandate, in order
to withstand the vagaries and volatilities of the
international financial markets.
Meeting client needs in the UK and the Eurozone
CFE UK Ltd services demonstrate our flexibility
and willingness to accommodate clients’ needs, in
the UK and on mainland Europe. This means taking
client mandates across Europe and managing the
relationship from London. Put simply, we go where
our clients are best financially served, avoiding
complications, while revealing opportunity. While
CFE Asset Management S.A. is affiliated by the ASG
(Association Suisse des Gérants de Fortune), CFE UK
Ltd is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
“We provide bespoke Asset Management based on a detailed understanding of each client’s needs and risk profiles“
SECURITIES TRADINGOur Trading Desk is active mainly in fixed income products focused on EM, Govies, Corporates and High Yield. The objective is to achieve and offer a diversification of credit exposure in instruments with greater liquidity.
