How do exchange traded products play a role in risk management?

Exchange traded products are financial products that can be used to help lessen the burden of price risk volatility for B2B companies. StoneX will utilize these financial instruments on behalf of their customers to help mitigate price risk and keep their clients profitable in the long-term. Effective risk management plans involve the strategic use of ETPs to protect against inflation and preserve wealth in times of political and economic stress.

What are exchange traded products?

An exchange traded product is a publicly traded financial product. Because ETPs are listed on the exchange, the performance of investment is transparent and accessible. ETPs can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like a stock making them one of the fastest growing investment products in the world.

Exchange-traded products

With access to 35 commodity markets and deep exchange-traded contracts expertise, StoneX effectively utilizes ETPs to hedge commodity price risk and protect against financial loss.
