Structured Commodity Finance

The 9th Annual Structured Commodity Finance 2014 brings together the widest cross-section of industry players from producers, banks, traders, insurers, lawyers, and other key commodities players.

You will hear from over 50 expert commodities speakers. Many of the leading players, including commodity producers have already signed up to share their knowledge and expertise at this industry forum.

The unique format of over 16 sessions / panel debates will cover 4 major themes surrounding SCF: Commodity types (e.g. oil, metals & softs), Regional focus (e.g. Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Latin America, China), Regulatory implications (e.g. Basel III), Risk mitigation (e.g. Insurance and risk distribution: the increase in the number of new entrants)
