Metals Price Management

Identifying net price exposure can be complicated, often involving multiple software programs, employees, and contract structures. Accounting for inventory and sales, matching them, and organizing them across time can provide transparency on aggregate commodity-based risk exposure. CIH empowers clients to build a comprehensive and transparent view of overall risk, increasing their ability to identify and mitigate potential changes that would directly impact their bottom-line.

Robust Technical Resources

Our clients have secure access to a customized risk management website that integrates market data and extensive charting capabilities alongside a unique and detailed model of their operation. Through this versatile website, companies can stress test their position for capital requirements, analyze market structure and dynamics- from open interest to implied volatility skews, and evaluate new strategies before executing them on the exchange. CIH’s tech suite gives clients the ability to navigate their positions with eyes wide open.
