What Are OTC Structured Products?
OTC Exotic Structured Products are privately negotiated agreements that can be fully customized to your underlying exposure, commercial objectives and risk appetite. —Unlike exchange-traded options, which are restricted by fixed strikes, expiries, and standard contract terms. OTC structures remove these limitations, giving clients more control and flexibility in managing price risk. This flexibility provides a powerful tool to address a wide range of hedging and investment needs.
We provide OTC solutions and tools, from swap-style products to advanced multi-leg combinations integrating vanilla and exotic options, to support clients in managing exposures, margins, and key price levels in line with their own objectives.
How OTC Structured Products Differs from Futures & Options?
Futures & Options
Futures provides a direct At-The-Money hedge by locking in a price of the underlying exposure. Whilst options offers conditional protection at a chosen strike with a possibility of hedge at expiration.
OTC Structured Products
OTC Structured products are custom-built to match your price targets and risk limits. They can incorporate additional hedging features over the life of the transaction and at expiry, offering more downside protection, desired payoff outcomes than standard listed Futures & Options

Discover how we tailor OTC structured solutions to your needs
What commodities can I hedge with OTC products?
Are These Products Suitable For My Company?
Our clients are typically commodity producers, consumers, and trading entities dealing in OTC commodity derivatives, limited to accredited, expert, or institutional investors.
How does margin call issuance work?
Margin requirements are reviewed and calculated on a daily basis. Any shortfall resulting to a margin call will be communicated to the client, specifying the additional amount required to top up and the applicable deadline. The amount is determined with reference to the notional quantity and the prevailing market value of the structure.
OTC Structures VS Exchange-Traded options
OTC structures are customizable in strike, tenor and payoff, including In-The-Money since inception, offering you greater flexibility than standardized listed options
