Lessons Learned from MF Global
Risk Management Strategies for Producers and their Lenders
Conclusion
While the causes of MF Global’s bankruptcy and related liquidation proceeding, and the $1.2 billion of missing funds, are still under review, these proceedings provide an opportunity for producers, elevators and processors to review their risk management strategies. They should also review how their FCMs handle investments, and should work closely with their lenders to develop credit facilities that are flexible enough to handle both commodity price volatility and unforeseen shocks to the futures markets.
