Hedging & Commercial Risk

Risk Management

Hedging strategies, basis management and exposure control for companies active in volatile agricultural markets.

Risk does not disappear, it is managed

An open physical position is a market position, whether or not you treat it as one. Risk management means deciding deliberately how much of the volatility stays with you.

Areas covered

  • Hedging strategies on futures markets (CME, Euronext)
  • Basis and spread management
  • Clearing, margin and liquidity requirements
  • Internal risk policy and exposure limits

Regulation

We work within the regulatory structure of the markets you operate in — CFTC and CME for US markets, the European framework for Euronext — so the strategy is implementable, not merely correct on paper.
