Hedging Products

A global team that structures and implements over-the-counter risk management products for institutional hedging customers worldwide. From our locations in Minneapolis, Houston, Johannesburg, Monterrey, Sao Paulo, Geneva, Melbourne, Singapore, Mexico, France and Tokyo we deliver mechanisms to protect customer price exposures across agricultural as well as energy-related and metal commodities. We deal in the full spectrum of instruments, through which we help our customers diversify their exposure.

Financial Hedges
Customers may deal directly with Hedging Products in financially-settled hedges. These hedges are tailored to the customer's specifications and at expiration (or early unwind) result in a net exchange of cash flows. Customer transactions are created and executed discreetly, with full confidentiality.

Physical Contract Hedges
Customers may also choose to access Hedging Products through their Cargill physical merchant as part of their purchase or sale of a physical commodity. Many customers find this approach a convenient and administratively simple means of getting effective price risk management. For customers concerned with FAS 133, this approach can often help ease the reporting requirements.

Customized Hedging Programs
In addition to structured products, Hedging Products can also create hedging programs that provide a disciplined approach to help customers control their price exposures.
