Discipline Underpins Every Trade.
Our risk and compliance framework protects counterparties and the integrity of the markets we serve.
Four pillars. One governance standard.
Credit Risk
Counterparties are assessed independently. The credit function sets limits.
- Independent counterparty assessment
- Limits set by credit function, not by traders
- Letters of credit, guarantees, and margin scaled to risk
- Daily exposure monitoring across the book
Market Risk
Positions are bounded by product, geography, and tenor. Daily mark-to-market and systematic hedging isolate commercial margin from flat-price exposure.
- Position limits by product, geography, and tenor
- Daily mark-to-market
- Stress testing across scenarios
- Systematic hedging with futures, swaps, and options
Operational Risk
Controls catch errors before they become losses. Separation of duties, verification, and continuity planning.
- Dual verification on trade entries
- Segregation of duties across front, middle, and back office
- Business continuity planning
Trade Compliance
Screening, KYC, AML, and anti-bribery controls run on every counterparty, vessel, and bank we touch.
- Automated screening against OFAC, EU, UN, and UK sanctions lists
- 50% ownership rule enforcement
- Vessel screening for dark-fleet indicators
- Full KYC with beneficial-ownership (UBO) verification
- AML procedures and mandatory staff training
- FCPA anti-bribery and anti-corruption zero-tolerance policy
A single, transparent onboarding process.
To open a trading relationship, new counterparties complete a standard document package. Our credit and compliance functions review submissions and confirm next steps.
