Capital and risk, managed with discipline.
Finance and risk management are part of every trade, not added after it.
Financing commodity transactions
Agricultural trade is capital-intensive. Cargoes must be financed from purchase at origin through transit to delivery and settlement. We structure that financing with established banking and trade-finance relationships, allocating capital where it earns a reliable return and holding control over exposure at each stage.
Finance at Allez
We work with banks and trade-finance providers across jurisdictions, moving capital at the pace a trade requires while holding firm control over exposure.
Cargo financing, structured across jurisdictions.

Price Risk
Agricultural prices move sharply. We manage price risk on physical positions through international futures and recognised hedging instruments where a liquid benchmark exists, so counterparties can price against transparent references rather than opaque flat prices.
Where No Liquid Benchmark Exists
Where no liquid benchmark exists — as is the case in rice — we price from origin assessments and physical quotations, and we state the reference we are using.
Managing exposure across jurisdictions.
Trade across jurisdictions carries currency and counterparty exposure. We manage both as a condition of taking any position: currency through hedging, counterparty through disciplined credit assessment and documentary control.
Documentary control runs through every stage: before position, at contract, through transit, and at settlement. It is how we protect both the trade and our counterparties.
Oversight
Market and position data is consolidated into a single view of the book. That speeds decisions and strengthens oversight of exposure across all three desks.
