Natural Resources Trading

We rank among the top-tier alternative asset managers with a strong footprint in commodity markets. Our strategies are grounded in a rigorous analysis of market dynamics. We leverage financial instruments, engage in physical trading and logistics, and provide structured capital solutions to implement our insights.

Predicting Trends in an
Interconnected Landscape

Commodity markets have entered a new data-driven era. From real-time cargo movement to inventory levels and harvest data, insights into production, consumption, storage, and logistics are more accessible than ever. These markets are deeply interlinked—natural gas influences fertilizer output, agriculture affects fuel supplies.

Navigating this complexity to achieve sustained performance requires both opportunity recognition and strategic precision. We unite top-tier talent with deep sector knowledge and cutting-edge modeling capabilities to tackle challenges others consider out of reach.

Targeted Insight,
Unified Execution

Rather than casting a wide net, we focus on building deep, detailed market models. By leveraging an expansive and diverse range of data, we stress-test our strategies across thousands of variables and hypothetical scenarios to refine our investment approach.

Technology is woven into every step of our process. Engineers play a critical role—integrating data pipelines, optimizing distributed computations, and building precise trading systems. Many work closely with investment teams on niche product areas, while others design global tools and infrastructure to support firmwide strategy.

Collaboration, intellectual rigor, and open dialogue define our culture. Complex challenges often span products and regions, requiring cross-team effort. These shared solutions lead to smarter decisions and stronger outcomes.

This integrated framework is central to our evolution—and it’s helped us become a leading force in the alternative commodities investment space.
