Adalta Energy always finds the Optimisation Desk to be professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. 
The price transparency and price quality provided by the Desk is second to none and is a true differentiator between suppliers.

— Tom Butler, Founder and Managing Director

How it works

Flex Portfolio Solutions  allows you to choose between three trading options, which indicate whether you want to hedge independently, or prefer to delegate, within predefined limits, some or all of the hedging decisions, based on calculated risk assessments, to a dedicated Portfolio Manager.

You can also choose between three support levels, which refer to the extent and frequency of the support you might want to receive – from a few pointers on the market’s 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

You can select to trade independently or to delegate, within predefined limits, some or all of the decision making process to your dedicated Portfolio Manager. You are free to choose the option you prefer, but we advise that you base your decision on your expertise, time and internal resources.

If you have any questions or doubts about your requirements, our team will be happy to help.
