• Role of a CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor)

To be a Trader in Derivatives which include Futures and Commodities is an exciting and demanding component of professional trading. While many investors and traders have a range of ideas on how to best beat the market, we focus our attention on a proven trend-following method for trading in exchange traded derivative products including Commodities, Futures and options. Genuine Trading Solutions can also provide a complete range of "OTC" Over-The-Counter products for institutional investors.

We are fully registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission "CFTC" as a Commodity Trading Advisor otherwise known as a CTA. This means we are able to manage a Futures Fund for a Hedge fund or Mutual fund portfolio. We provide full exchange privileges to Institutions, Corporations and Individuals. There are two traditional types of trading, one is for speculation, the other for hedging or managing risk.

Regardless of your trading experience, our 20 years of professional trading and asset management knowledge is available complete with the same trading secrets professional traders use to make money.

USING FUTURES AND COMMODITIES IN RISK MANAGEMENT:
Although Commodity Trading Advisor’s are largely known for managing derivative assets for hedge funds. The service that captures our attention is the active role of reducing Market or Operational risk. In this capacity we focus on the analysis and structure of a viable hedging program as it relates to Foreign Exchange, Indices, Interest Rates and/or base commodities. Our role as a Commodity Trading Advisor is to work closely with corporations to identify the risk exposure most likely to fit their needs.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE (Fx")  Through our relationship with a major banking clearing facility headquartered in London England, our institutional and corporate clients have access to approximately 40 tradable currencies  worldwide.  Our clients routinely execute physical conversion for payroll or to hedge future currency exposure. INDEX HEDGING: The second most common hedging strategy for equity and fixed income managers is the use of futures or commodities for the protection of a portfolio against market downturns.

To accomplish this effectively, portfolio managers routinely utilize an index hedge rather than the liquidation of a percentage of their portfolio. The benefits are obvious. Firstly such a hedge is much less expensive than clearing fees for stock liquidation and then subsequent re-purchase. 

Secondly, timing is critical and in the event the portfolio continues to rise, the fund manager continues to hold his position fully intact and protected by the hedge. Genuine Trading Solutions is a full service Commodity Trading Advisor firm, and through our international clearing facility, (FCM) we are able to provide an index hedge on virtually any market world wide

FIXED INCOME HEDGING: The fixed income market is large and in addition to the other products listed, there is a substantial number of financial products ideally suited for hedging. (see list below)

BASE COMMODITY HEDGING FOR CORPORATIONS: your corporation imports a product in one currency and sells it in another currency, then you may be experiencing currency risk.  If you purchase a base product today i.e. steel or copper, but the finished product is not re-sold for some time into the future, then you are experiencing product risk also called basis risk.

Whether you are the owner of a small business or CEO or a large Fortune 500 company, our clients have come to us over the years for hedging Wheat, Corn, Livestock, Gold, Silver, Copper as well as Crude Oil and Natural Gas.  The list is long and as varied as the business of our customers.
