HOW WE TRADE
Disciplined fromopportunity to execution.
Physical energy trading requires each component of a transaction to work together. SZ Global Energy applies structured commercial assessment throughout the trade lifecycle, with a focus on product, counterparty, pricing, logistics, financing and execution risk.
Market Opportunity
Identify
We assess physical product flows, regional supply-demand dynamics, pricing relationships and changing market conditions to identify potentially actionable trading opportunities.
Counterparty Assessment
Evaluate
We assess the commercial and execution capability of relevant counterparties before progressing a transaction. Considerations may include KYC and compliance, commercial standing, financial capability, contractual capacity and performance risk.
Commercial Structuring
Structure
For qualified opportunities, we work to align the principal commercial components of the transaction, including:
- Product
- Specification
- Quantity
- Pricing basis
- Delivery terms
- Delivery location
- Logistics
- Payment structure
- Transaction timing
Execution
Execute
Qualified transactions are progressed through the contractual, financial and operational stages necessary for physical delivery. Depending on the transaction, this can involve coordination across trading counterparties, financial institutions, inspection companies, logistics providers and other participants within the physical supply chain.
A trade must work from end to end.
A commercially attractive price alone does not make a viable physical trade.
Product, counterparties, logistics, financing, contractual terms and execution risk must work together.
That principle sits at the centre of how SZ Global Energy evaluates trading opportunities.
Discuss a Trading Opportunity
We welcome confidential dialogue with qualified counterparties regarding physical refined-product opportunities.
