What investments could Trafigura make to maximise its market position while maintaining a responsible risk profile

By applying a process of natural hedging, with integrated operational management, logistics and infrastructural investments, Trafigura can diversify its activities and investments so that risks are flattened out.  For instance, its investments in storage and shipping capabilities ensure that if the demand for storage is low, the demand for shipping will increase and vice versa.

Furthermore, when Trafigura is not trading actively in the physical commodity, it can use its asset management, logistics, and distribution capabilities and globalized network of subsidiaries and activities to offset the low revenue from trading.  These diversified investments and assets, therefore, enhance and complement its various activities so that its risk profile is constantly being managed in a balanced manner without incurring so much risk costs.
