AGILE & ENTREPRENEURIAL


Risk Management


Managing and mitigating risk is what a physical commodities trader like Gunvor does, and it is a prerequisite for long-term success. Gunvor has a 20-plus year track record of effectively managing the risk within the ever changing commodities markets to ensure stable commercial growth and development.

A combination of policies and internal procedures addressing liquidity, credit, country, exchange rate, price, market, operational, environmental, freight, compliance and regulatory risks is the foundation of Gunvor’s control and risk management framework.

Logistics


Gunvor has invested in logistics and midstream assets that strategically complement its daily trading activity. These assets enable Gunvor to enhance the management of the sourcing and distribution components of the Group’s trading platform, diversify its income streams and strengthen its competitive position.

Finance


Managing risk and liquidity is at the core of Gunvor’s business. From the company’s inception, Gunvor has been successful in building long-term relationships in the financial sector and diversifying its banking partnerships. Today, we work with more than 75 leading global financial institutions.

As a growing business with interests throughout the world, Gunvor has always sought to establish local partnerships for its investments, such as establishing an independent revolving credit facility specifically for Asia, and creating borrowing bases in the Middle East and the Americas to finance trading operations in those regions.

These allow management to monitor Gunvor’s overall exposure and adopt appropriate measures on a timely basis.

Physical Trading


As a physical trader, Gunvor identifies and realizes arbitrage opportunities in the global commodities marketplace:


Geographic

Logistics assets enable us to source physical commodities and deliver them to locations where they command higher prices.


Product-based

Blending adds value to products that command returns higher than the sum of their constituent parts.


Time-related

Storage assets, financial skills, and cost controls create margins on agreed forward prices.
