In today's increasingly competitive marketplace, downstream flexibility can be achieved in part by predicting and managing upstream risk.  For any company whose production or inputs involve commodities, better price risk management can involve improving their use of options, futures and exchange rates.

For companies whose outputs or raw materials are commodity-based, commodities trading strategies can help manage risks from unfavourable downstream price changes.

For more than 20 years, the George Morris Centre Risk Management courses have been helping people plan strategies to manage these risks in their companies.
