Trading & Risk Management

An agro-industrial group carried commodity, basis and FX exposure across several business units without a consolidated view or a defined risk mandate.

Diagnostic of exposure, policy and controls; redesign of risk governance, mandates and limits; establishment of a functioning risk committee cadence.

Position, P&L and MTM Controls

Long and short positions, P&L attribution and mark-to-market treatment were inconsistent across desks and systems.

Definition of position and exposure standards, MTM methodology, reporting architecture and control routines.

Independent Expert Commodity Analysis

A matter required independent, technically defensible analysis of commodity market conduct and pricing.

Independent expert commodity analysis and reasoned opinion prepared to a professional evidentiary standard.
