Collateral Management Services

Peterson Control Union provides Collateral Management Services in countries where we have our own offices. 

Trade Goods and Control Risk

The services constitute a method to secure loans using physical commodities as collateral and consist mainly of approving storage facilities, taking control of these facilities, receiving goods into them and keeping these goods under our control until we are instructed to release them as per the terms of the relevant collateral management agreement. Collateral management services facilitate borrowers who wish to physically trade goods and increase volumes on the one hand, and enable lenders to control risk on the other.

Services to Suit

The service is available in a variety of intensities, from a soft form, whereby stocks are periodically monitored, to a hard form, whereby the collateral is under Peterson Control Union’s control 24/7/365 and the title of the goods is in our hands.

Products we Know Well Only

Peterson Control Union’s CMA activities are limited to products that we know well: agricultural products and minerals. The service systems that we have in place for these products are unlimited: crop monitoring, field warehousing, tolling operations and crushing/refining operations to name but a few.
