CTRM Center has published a new article featuring our Head of Trading Analysis, Evangelos Fanis, exploring how Topaz is ideally placed for the management of the growing complexity of risk in agricultural and soft commodity markets.
The article reflects the sector's strong growth outlook, with ComTech's Market Outlook 2024–2028 projecting a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.5% through 2028. As trading activity in ags and softs continues to expand, firms are looking for platforms that can keep pace with the sector's operational complexity.
The piece outlines how Topaz supports this complexity, from managing multiple units of measure across different commodities to modelling physical premium risk as its own market with a distinct volatility and forward curve. It also covers Topaz's spread modelling capability, including two and three-leg spreads such as the Soybean Crush Spread, along with support for exotic optionality in structures like accumulators.
We appreciate CTRM Center's recognition of Topaz's flexibility in this space and remain committed to helping clients navigate the sector's continued growth.
