My association with PMC marries my specialist commodity background with PMC’s extensive treasury skills.

Commodities are real and physical and bring a distinct set of challenges. The price volatility witnessed in the run up, during and post credit crunch has brought the cost of neglecting commodity related risks clearly into focus. Including commodities in the risk management brief ensures management can devise and execute corporate strategy in the time horizon best matched to the business, without being subject to the vagaries of the commodity markets.

A full understanding of physical procurement and sales contracts can lead to effective hedges combining both physical and financial components. The most satisfying projects are those where we devise an elegant practical solution which aligns with the operating model of the business.
