Agriculture Risk Management

We manage price risk with confidence. As a partner, Southesk Gottman is a stakeholder in your success. Before offering a solution or strategy, our risk management experts first get to know your business, as well as your objectives and risk tolerance.

We will talk about diversification tactics so you can confidently choose what is best for your business in your market. Many of our hedging strategies are integrated into physical commodities contracts, which reduces the administrative burden of managing price risk on your own.

Alternately, we can collaborate with your team to carry out direct financial transactions to reduce the risk associated with commodity price fluctuations. Regardless of how you like to collaborate with us, our teams move quickly to make sure you take advantage of market opportunities more rapidly.
