Vision:
Commodity Risk Management
Huge fluctuations and increases in raw material prices in recent
years have led to commodity risk management becoming an increasingly
important factor for commodity producing and processing enterprises.
In
many cases the role of commodity risk management has evolved into a
strategic function within the organisation. Companies that buy or sell
goods with significant commodity content nowadays need to be able to
have access to easy-to-understand-and-use reports, models and
instruments to manage their exposures.
It is our philosophy at Merit
to provide a unique opportunity for management to position commodity
procurement as a prominent value driver and a real opportunity to
strengthen the strategic competitiveness of their companies.
Quantitative Asset Management
The vast experience of Merit’s core competence in the quantification
and mastering of financial and commodity risks directly feeds into a
second business line. It is based on a comprehensive, internally
developed, quantitative investment framework.
Merit’s framework
offers attractive diversification perspectives to investors who are
looking for sustainable investment strategies that are less dependent on
human analysis, judgement and decision making.
Furthermore, the
quantification process leads to risk and return profiles of individual
underlying markets that allow for the development and implementation of
market uncorrelated investment strategies.
Mission:
Merit’s problem-solving capabilities are aimed at providing effective customized solutions adapted to individual clients’ needs in
commodity risk management as well as quantitative asset management.
In
servicing clients, Merit sees its function as expert associate enjoying
a client relationship based on a partnership with those clients. We aim
for long-term collaboration, based on mutual trust.
