About CARTHO

The operating layer for mid-market commodity trade.

Banks moved up-market and left a gap: real cargo, real margin, no one to finance it. CARTHO is the participant that closes that gap. We assemble buyer, supplier and capital around one real cargo and run a gated, documented cycle to settlement. Deal by deal. Nothing pooled.

Operated by Cartho Holding Ltd (BVI). The full mechanics live in the deal model; how far disclosure opens at each stage is on the evidence gates — and nowhere on this site will a claim outrun a signed document.

What we do

Assemble. Buyer, supplier, capital and infrastructure — brought together around one cargo, before financing is discussed.
Discipline. Six gates on every deal: identity, vehicle, documents, monitoring, settlement. Hard stops, no exceptions.
Align. Our fee sits last in the settlement waterfall. No management fee, no AUM charge, nothing earned while a deal sits idle.

How we operate

01
Evidence over adjectives.

Six binary, externally checkable gates say what is proven. When status changes, the site changes — nothing else claims otherwise.

02
Paid last, by design.

Under-recovery zeroes our fee before touching anyone's principal. The incentive statement is the settlement order itself.

03
Roles, not names.

Counterparties and vendors are named when contracts are signed — not before. Until then the site shows the role and its real status.

04
Corridor-level disclosure.

Deal detail — counterparties, notionals, pricing — is deal-room material under NDA. The public layer stops at the corridor.

The team

The desk spans physical commodity trading, structured trade finance and platform engineering — people who have moved cargo, papered deals and built the systems that track them. Verify us the way you would verify a counterparty.

In preparation

Profiles are being prepared for publication. Until then, bios, track record and references are shared directly — in the deal room and on request. Same rule as everything else on this site: names go up when they can be verified, not before.
