Insurance

Livestock insurance is an increasingly valuable risk management tool. We’ll help you identify attractive pricing opportunities and show you how to mitigate basis risk for your operation. Our technology tracks endorsement performance inclusive of exchange traded positions, optimally integrates insurance into your overall risk management program, and establishes the value of open endorsements as the market moves. Our insurance team helps make all your insurance needs seamless.


Livestock Risk Protection Insurance (LRP)

With LRP insurance, producers pay a premium for a pre-determined price floor, with an indemnity due if the ending price falls below that amount. There are no transaction fees or margin requirements, and premiums are due after expiration. The fact that it includes capital and subsidy considerations make it popular as a standalone risk management solution as well as one used in conjunction with futures or options positions.


Livestock Gross Margin (LGM)

This type of policy protects against the loss of gross margin on swine, which is the market value of the livestock minus the cost of feed. It provides an indemnity at the end of its 11-month period if the difference between the gross margin guarantee and the actual gross margin is positive.
