Empower Your Decisions
The Global Energy Transition has changed the way commodity markets operate, creating a growing interdependence across financial markets, an uncertain political and regulatory landscape, and an increasing distortion in the traditional relationship between commodity prices and their fundamentals. E*Commodity Research & Advisory was started to help commodity market participants make better, more informed decisions. We are "buy-side" analysts, traders, and risk managers, and our extensive experience from physical operations to financial markets brings our clients a unique insight into the forces transforming the global commodity landscape. Our goal is to provide our clients with the information, intelligence, and insight not only to identify new and emerging opportunities but also to profit from them. Our mission is to provide the highest quality independent research and advisory, and to do it at a market-disruptive value.
It all starts with information & our unique research platform. Our Global Market Positioning System™ draws from thousands of primary and secondary sources, scrubbing public/private data sets, news/social feeds and satellite/drone imagery to improve usage and efficacy. Our proprietary research platform integrates data science, fundamental analysis, market composition, geopolitical & environmental risk. This structure serves as the statistical and intellectual framework of our findings, developing a more disciplined & empirical approach to commodity market analysis.
Our platform is technology driven but calibrated by an experienced team of commodity professionals. Our team has a unique & diverse experiential base, one with strong backgrounds in investment, operational management, strategy, research, trading, data analysis & corporate advisory. Our approach enables us to offer a differentiated perspective, one that generates both a cohesive market outlook and actionable market intelligence. Simply put, we find what others miss.
Our unique footprint and focus allow us to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to commodity research, to better understand market connectivity and to deliver to our clients a best-in-class service. We then go a step beyond traditional research, developing specific & strategic recommendations that help our clients perform along their unique objectives & goals. We don’t just produce research, we help clients understand, navigate and manage the potential impact our findings have on them.
Through a structured cadence of client interactions, our integrated suite of services is designed to provide you insight without clogging your in-box. Our publication service is intended to contextualize and inform, not overwhelm. Our interactive webinars succinctly present our outlook and the implications of our findings. We offer 24/7 Analyst Access, individualized Client Retainer Briefings and bespoke Advisory Services tailored to your goals & objectives.
