INTL FCStone offers full service futures and options on futures as part of our Integrated Risk Management Program (IRMP®) and for self directed experienced futures and options traders through our Futures Direct Division.
IRMP
The INTL FCStone IRMP® offers a unique customer-centric approach to commodity risk management by working with our customers to identify and quantify all commodity risk that they may have in their business. By constructing a strategic and systematic approach to manage that risk, we offer a comprehensive view to protecting and enhancing the net margin and bottom line of the business.
The INTL FCStone IRMP was created by and is managed by our consultants, who have in-depth expertise in the supply-and demand situation for specific commodities, access to our extensive proprietary database and detailed historical knowledge, and substantial experience in creating and using innovative risk-management tools. Selecting the best tools for the job – including exchange-traded futures and options, cash and forward-market contracts, and customized over-the-counter products – our consultants construct a risk-management program that is tailored to your company’s specific needs, and then work closely with you to execute it.
CommercialWe are one of the largest commercial brokerage firms in the world, working with commercial companies around the world that originate and or process corn, wheat, and soybeans, grow or process sugar, coffee, dairy, lumber, cotton, and energy products from crude oil or ethanol.
We provide commodity risk management, hedging and complete marketing services to traders, processors, manufacturers’ elevators and end-users.
The Commercial Grain Group also works with those customers that are further down the value-added chain. This includes processors, manufacturers, and end-users. These customers are on the demand side and can benefit from the same principles, research and strategies as those on the supply side.
Our financial tools work to control risk, use the market to limit the impact of volatility, capture and retain quality and specific-trait advantages, control input costs, protect inventory value, and enhance operational margins.
