ADAPTING TO THE NEW STANDARD: FINANCING COMMODITIES IN A RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED WORLDAs consumer and investor demands evolve and a new standard emerges, how will the pressures of a resourceconstrainedworld manifest themself on the commodities value chain? Consumer trends towards more eco-friendly practices as well as pressure from investors and financiers for commodities firms to disclose their climate risks could cause a significant shift in approach from financiers and stakeholders across the commodities value chain. This session casts an eye to the future of the commodities sector and discusses what the financing of commodities might look like in a resource constrained world.

COMMODITY FUND FALLOUT: SEEKING DIVINE REDEMPTIONAs we witness a flight to quality from banks in response to stringent Basel capital requirements, the alternative finance space is often the only viable option for small and medium sized traders looking to finance projects in riskier jurisdictions. However, a spate of redemptions from key institutional investors in the commodity fund market and the winding down of BAF Capital’s BLTFF fund, raises serious questions over the viability of this product type. We ask fund managers to share their views on the development of the alternative financing space.
