Who we are
|
OFMS's commodities team seeks to generate superior value through directional and relative value strategies across both physical and financial commodities markets. We evaluate opportunities in natural gas and power, primarily in North America and Europe.

How we do it
|
OFMS uses fundamental research, proprietary analytical methodologies, and quantitative analysis to drive our views. We join these techniques with an intense focus on understanding each market we trade, reflected in our ability to generate supply and demand balances for each commodity or product. A key part of this process is our advanced technology platform that allows us to quickly and deeply understand patterns within a market, conduct scenario analysis and improve the overall accuracy of our views.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Stability and Predictability in a Sea of Change
THE OFMS APPROACH
Risk Management at the Center
|
We seek to manage risk in order to capitalize on opportunities and improve our performance. Disciplined risk estimation and management are deeply integrated components of the execution process underlying each one of our strategies.
We believe a well-constructed strategy will outperform in good markets and protect our client's capital in difficult markets. For this reason, OFMS has spent over a quarter of a century establishing risk management as a core discipline. This approach begins with a dedicated governance group that oversees risk management. An emphasis on proprietary risk models and a diversified financial structure seeks to further strengthen our approach. |
