Case Study: International Soft Commodities Trader achieves clearer risk visibility with Rochford Capital

International Soft Commodities Trader - Customer Case Study

International Soft Commodities Trader worked with Rochford Capital to improve its commodity risk management framework. The trader was exposed to procurement supply shocks and market price volatility between fixed buying prices and floating sale prices, while internal teams had differing views on how to define, measure, and manage procurement and market risk. Its data collection and consolidation processes were also highly ad hoc and reliant on one individual who was about to leave.

Rochford Capital ran workshops with management and operations to align risk objectives and identify process gaps, then developed tools to support a low-touch monthly operating cycle and provided ongoing guidance alongside the internal team. As a result, the business gained clearer visibility and traceability of risk, reshaped its risk management policy to fit a more robust process, and was able to implement the solution itself with Rochford Capital’s support.
