Tactical trade opportunities

Commodities are influenced by global supply and demand factors, which can create significant price fluctuations and dislocations. Our commodities team is available to assist investors in analysing these dynamics and structuring products around a particular market view.

Diversification

Adding uncorrelated alternate assets such as commodities to a portfolio can help improve risk-adjusted returns as they typically perform differently under various market conditions.

A hedge against inflation

As commodities prices typically rise when inflation is accelerating, they naturally offer the portfolio protection from the effects of inflation.

Our broad investable universe includes:
Holes in surface
Battery metals: lithium and cobalt
Power plant and smoke blowing in to the sky
Regulated carbon credits
Metals being shaped in fire furnace
Precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium
Roles of metal on a factory floor
Base metals: copper, lead, tin, zinc, aluminum and nickel
Boats near oil rig
Energy: crude oil, natural gas, diesel, and petroleum
