Case Study: Speculative trading or hedging?

Without clearly defined trading mandates, lines can often become blurred between managed hedging and speculative trading.

After conducting an in-depth review, we recognised our client hadn't implemented clear frameworks surrounding their trading practices and risk exposure limits.

Our team, working with trading, risk and management introduced execution benchmarking. Rather than purely focusing on a net daily profit figure, the use of analytics garnered valuable insights for daily review and accountability for trading outcomes.

Through the review and updating of processes across the trading lifecycle, our client achieved improved trading revenue and risk management oversight across departments.
