How it works

Simply select one of three trading options, depending on whether you wish to hedge independently or if you wish to have a dedicated Portfolio Manager make hedging decisions on your behalf based on calculated risk assessments, within predefined limits.

Next, select one of three support options, depending on the level and frequency of the support you require – from quick insight into market fluctuations, to daily updates and regular check-in calls.

During the whole process, you can take advantage of the expertise of our award winning optimisation desk. This is a specialist, dedicated expert team who can offer market know-how and guidance to help you manage your energy position and spot opportunities. The team will provide market intelligence and risk management, as well as help you define and review a successful hedging strategy.

Trading Options

Trade independently, delegate some decisions, or authorise your dedicated Portfolio Manager to conduct hedging decisions within your pre-defined limits based on calculated risk assessments. The choice is yours, but we recommend basing your decision on the level of expertise, time and internal resources available to your customer.
