Risk & compliance
Disclosures are not a footer. They are the interface.
This page is intentionally direct. In commodities and FX, risk is structural. Any serious stakeholder should see the warning language and the compliance posture early—without being “sold”.
Risk taxonomy
What “risk” actually includes
Risk is broader than price movement. Below is a practical taxonomy used to communicate what can fail and how it is monitored.
| Risk type | Typical impact | Example controls |
|---|---|---|
| Market risk | Adverse price moves, volatility regimes, gap risk | Limits, sizing discipline, scenario thinking, monitoring |
| Liquidity risk | Slippage, inability to exit at expected prices | Liquidity constraints, execution policies, review |
| Leverage risk | Amplified losses, rapid drawdowns | Leverage constraints, margin awareness, stress thinking |
| Operational risk | Process failure, reconciliation breaks, outages | Checklists, dual controls (where applicable), incident logs |
| Counterparty risk | Execution pathway fails, settlement issues | Counterparty review, documented pathways, escalation |
| Compliance risk | Regulatory exposure, jurisdiction issues | KYC/AML expectations, restrictions by location/eligibility |
KYC/AML
