Our team provides risk management solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs and risk profile.
Price Risk
Commodity markets have become increasingly volatile, reflecting the modern realities of globalization. The increase in volatility, and the need to manage risk, have given rise to a multitude of complex financial products which, in theory, provide margin protection to food producers, manufacturers, retailers and foodservice operators.
A need for stability
The reality, however, is that food businesses need to have an integrated system that tracks the constituent risk of each SKU and how it relates to the market for specific commodities. Without understanding the risk exposure at the granular level, a company can quickly slide into a negative position before executive management gets in sync with moves in the market.
Move forward with confidence
We work closely with our clients to flesh out their overall risk exposure and then break it down for individual commodities. Our recommendations on forward coverage benefit greatly from our view and understanding of commodity markets, and our day-to-day interactions with market participants. And our strong market reporting helps provide this information to decision makers in an intuitive and easy to understand format.
