Meeting your commodity risk management needs
Commodities represent the most volatile of all asset classes. Price fluctuations can significantly impact profit margins, debt serviceability, credit worthiness, and company stock price. Standard Chartered offers highly customised global commodity solutions to meet clients’ risk management needs across diverse industry segments. Leveraging in-depth local knowledge and international expertise, we can help you to:
- Manage commodities procurement costs
- Protect future production proceeds
- Reduce cash flow volatility
- Maximise profit margins
- Improve business competitiveness
Meeting your financing needs
Looking at alternative markets to raise capital? Standard Chartered offers Commodity Linked Financing solutions for your specific financing needs. These OTC hedging solutions can be tailored in terms of size, tenor and customised settlement to provide substantially greater flexibility than traditional futures-based hedging. In addition, an index can be created to match your risk profile.
Commodities product coverage
Our business captures agriculture, metals, and energy flows on an end-to-end basis, from producers to buyers both directly and via traders. This allows Standard Chartered to provide the broadest range of products available, and more importantly, anticipate and meet client needs.
