Mandate and risk limits

Good procurement needs agreed boundaries: how much may be open, how far ahead we buy, who approves what. We draw up the mandate with you and every market action stays within it.

What the mandate shows

Room that is used, not just held

Below is an illustrative year of hedge ratio against an agreed mandate — twelve months of every market action tested against the same boundaries.

Illustrative example, not a real client report
The situation

Picture a mandate agreed once, in a meeting, then tested every single trading day after. This is twelve months of that test.

A

Every action stayed inside the lines

Zero breaches across twelve months, by design rather than by luck — every trade checked against the mandate before it happened, not after.

B

The room is used, not just held

The ratio swings between 42% and 58%, not glued to one number — active management within bounds, not a boundary treated as a target.

Figures are illustrative, built to show the method. They are not a real client's position.
How we approach it

From question to execution

  1. 01

    We map your risk appetite, budget process and decision structure.

  2. 02

    We translate this into a mandate: volumes, products, limits and approvals.

  3. 03

    All trading takes place within the mandate; exceptions go back to you.

  4. 04

    We review the mandate when your organisation or the market changes.

What it yields

This is what changes for you

  • Clear boundaries for every market action
  • Decisions where they belong, without slowing execution
  • A framework that grows with your organisation
