Risk Management
& Trading Strategies

Understanding the drivers behind credit and pricing decisions has a material impact on contractual terms, product exposure, and margin application. The interpretation of financial and market data varies dramatically across the entire supply chain and leads to wide variations in pricing. 

The ability to interpret credit risk and payment propensity relative to preferred contract type, usage, and contract duration gives our customers significant pricing leverage and reduced exposure. 

Market & Financial Intelligence

We have access to our very own extensive catalogue of company market and financial intelligence enabling us to utilise our data interpretation techniques and expertise to develop compelling risk management and trading strategies for our customers. 

As thought leaders, we collaborate closely with our customers and conduct regular on-site training and focused workshops including masterclass sessions aimed at ensuring all stakeholders understand the market influences as well as we do so that even the most complex strategies can be simplified and communicated clearly. 

Risk and hedging strategy development

Hedging energy prices allows us to reduce or eliminate your business’ exposure to the extremely volatile energy market. This practise allows us to fix or cap energy costs at a certain level and period of time. Rather than accessing the market all at once and being exposed to the price then on offer, we access the market continually and in effect top-up the amount of energy your business needs.

Our team of Risk Management Analysts tailor your risk and hedging strategies and evaluate which approach will work the most effectively with your business’ KPI’s, energy consumption requirements and forecasted annual spend.

Hedging strategies

A ‘hedge’ is a simple purchasing strategy designed to best manage your exposure to price risk. Our team of risk management and trading experts proactively seek out the right time to buy in the energy market creating hedging strategies tailored to your business’s requirements. This is called ‘Advanced purchasing’, which is essentially how much energy is purchased how far in advance and is impacted by many factors. Our team will look at all of these factors and buy your energy in advance, insuring (hedging) you against potential price increases.

Founded in 2009 we have become the UK market leaders in energy consulting and support services specialising in multi-site and large commercial business sectors. We operate in a highly fragmented market where most providers concentrate on what they do and how they do it.

We believe we can improve a clients’ bottom line whilst removing highly complex tasks associated with energy from within their facilities and finance departments, and we are driven by sharing in this success.
