Gerald Group Secures Oversubscribed $365 Million Revolving Credit Facility to Bolster Metals Trading Capacity

New updates have been reported about Gerald Group.

Gerald Group has strengthened its balance sheet and funding flexibility by closing its sixteenth annual refinancing of an unsecured revolving credit facility (RCF), upsized to US$365 million from US$230 million on the back of significant oversubscription. The facility, which is central to Gerald’s working capital and trading liquidity in metals and minerals, attracted 24 international banks, with several existing lenders increasing commitments and seven new institutions joining the syndicate, reflecting sustained lender confidence in the Group’s strategy and risk profile. Chief Financial Officer Patricia Nikolopoulos said the outcome enhances financial flexibility in a volatile commodities environment and signals strong support for Gerald’s long-term growth ambitions in non-ferrous, ferrous, precious metals, and critical minerals trading.

The refinancing, coordinated by Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and supported by Deutsche Bank and UBS as key bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers, brings in new regional and global lenders, including Abu Dhabi-based banks, broadening Gerald’s funding base across geographies and reducing dependence on any single market. According to Crédit Agricole Indosuez representatives, the upsized facility and expanded syndicate underscore the perceived robustness of Gerald’s metals business, its long-standing banking relationships, and the quality of collaboration among participants. For executives and stakeholders, the larger, unsecured RCF provides Gerald with additional headroom to finance trade flows, manage price volatility, and pursue strategic opportunities across its global trading network spanning Stamford, Geneva, Shanghai, Dubai, and associated operations, positioning the Group to capitalize on sustained demand and structural shifts in the global metals and critical minerals value chain.
