DERIVATIVE MANAGEMENT
At the Pool manager’s discretion, Flexi Grain may choose to use a mixture of local or global derivatives to manage price risk and currency appreciation. Flexi Grain may use the most relevant risk management derivatives to manage price risk for the pool. This may include, but is not limited to ASX, CBOT futures and Options.
Foreign exchange management via the use of Forward exchange contracts (FEC) and Options structures may be used to manage an appreciating Australian dollar.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Advance payment will include a 60% advance payment 5 days end of week of delivery and 100% of the remaining equity will be distributed 30 days after the settlement of the final sale. The value associated with the 60% advance, will be linked to the local Profarmer cash bid, as this methodology is used for all advances across all Pools.
Deferred payment options are available and will be made payable 30 days after the settlement of the final sale.
