Ensuring traders are reconciled is essential for a comprehensive understanding of risk exposure across the entire lifecycle of the trade
3 Risk Management

Risk Management
With commodity derivatives hedging and trading, businesses face an array of risks that could threaten legality or compromise financial stability. These include ever-changing price risk, counterparty risk, operational pitfalls, plus regulatory uncertainties due to constantly evolving regulations at all levels.
Trading commodity derivatives carries substantial risk of exposure to price fluctuations—a challenge that requires vigilant monitoring and strategic decision-making
It’s vital to evaluate the creditworthiness of your counterparty in order to avoid potential defaulting risks
From catastrophic systems outages to insidious data breaches and simple human error, operational failures can wreak havoc on portfolios
Trading in commodity derivatives is a tightly controlled space, where the consequences of failing to follow regulations can be severe
4 Hedging

Hedging
Everyday presents a new challenge bringing together disparate data from around the globe to paint an accurate, up-to-date picture of both physical and derivative positions that helps the decision-making process around complex hedging instruments.
Hedging a commodities position requires finesse and precision to strike the right balance between controlling risk and averting excessive expenses
Protecting yourself from market uncertainty by choosing the best hedging instruments to safeguard your position is essential
Carefully responding to the market and making adjustments, such as rolling over contracts, is key when hedging a commodities position
Hedging offers the possibility of reducing uncertainty but carries its own complexities; namely costs, rigidity and the threat of losses

A trading company must maintain timely accuracy when it comes to the trade data that impacts their accounting processes
