How we trade
Risk & Counterparty Assurance
Disciplined risk management is what makes long-term relationships possible.
We would rather decline a transaction than carry a risk we cannot see, price or control. Every counterparty is onboarded before terms are discussed in earnest, and every cargo is assessed across commercial, operational, financial and compliance dimensions.
Counterparty onboarding
Licensing & standing
Relevant trading, importation or distribution authorisations for the counterparty's jurisdiction.
Screening
Sanctions, politically exposed person and adverse media screening of the entity and its principals.
Financial capacity
Bank references, financial statements and confirmation of the instrument the counterparty can actually issue.
Operational capability
Terminal, storage, receiving and offtake capacity verified against the volume proposed.
Documented approval
Onboarding conclusions recorded and re-reviewed for repeat business and increased exposure.
