Identifying arbitrage opportunities with our extensive experience

Geographic

Differences in price for the same commodity in different locations.

Our global network and logistics capabilities allow for sourcing of commodities in one location and delivery in another via sea borne freight, pipeline, barges, trucks, and rail.

Product

Differences in price between types or grades of a commodity, or across different commodities.

We can minimize market price differentials via break bulk, blending, processing or end product substitution, or by cross commodity spreads through tolling and our ownership of conversion assets.

Time

Differences in price between immediate delivery and a delivery in the future.

Our ownership of storage capacity and our extensive financing capabilities allows for the execution of carry trades across different time zones and periods.
