We Can Meet a Wide Range of Client Needs Our services can help businesses that produce or use commodities (such as agricultural products, metals and petroleum), as well as investors looking to manage certain risks: • If you produce a commodity, we can help you reduce the risk of price fluctuations through the use of commodity futures and options. • If your business uses a commodity to produce goods, we can help you gain greater cost certainty for that commodity through the futures market. • If you are a sophisticated investor, we can help you manage risk by adding an additional dimension of diversification beyond traditional asset classes. • If you are a Canadian and own a large U.S. stock portfolio, we can help you reduce or eliminate the risk of exchange rates through the use of foreign exchange futures.
