Within Commodity Derivatives, there are two core teams:
Our Futures team (Commodity Futures Limited and Commodity Futures Inc.) acts as an intermediary. They provide execution, clearing and margin finance services for contracts traded on major European, American and Asian Commodity Exchanges. The OTC group (Commodity Index Transactions) acts as principal, transacting swaps and options with clients under bilateral agreements. This is a client-driven, market-making activity.
We’re proud of our strong credit rating and have received several industry awards, including the Energy Business Gold Award for Energy Trading (2005).
