What is integrated risk management?

Integrated risk management includes all risk mitigation procedures that a company follows. The goal is to improve risk visibility across your business and create a customized approach to effectively managing that risk.

What type of companies can benefit from our risk management solutions?

Any company that is vulnerable to price volatility in commodities can benefit by partnering with our expert consultants. We work with producers, distributors, manufacturers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, importers, and exporters to lock in favorable prices and help you manage your risk.

Do I have to follow the markets and make trades all day?

No. Our consultants will monitor the markets and execute the components of your risk management strategy on your behalf, freeing you to do what you do best: run your business.

Will I need to change who I do business with?

No. You can maintain all your existing marketplace relationships. Our risk management process allows you to mitigate the risk of price fluctuations, not a commodity marketing, sourcing or logistics program.

How long does a risk management program with StoneX last?

Working with StoneX for your risk management needs is a highly customizable and dynamic process that our consultants evaluate and adjust as market conditions and your company’s financial picture change. We have many retainer clients who have been working with us successfully for decades.
