Philosophy

Commodity price direction cannot be consistently predicted and commodity price volatility is persistent. With volatility comes risk and opportunity. Acknowledging and defining risk is the first step in developing a successful risk management program. First Capitol Ag's singular focus is to define and manage price risk for our clients.

First Capitol Ag tailors risk management strategies to the specific needs of our clients. Our strategies are dynamic and adjust to market conditions by making use of optimal futures, options, OTC and cash market tools. We work with our clients to build strategies that fully complement their financial goals, risk tolerance and cash market activities.

Defining price risk and selecting a strategy are the building blocks of a successful risk management program. Consistency in execution is the final critical component. First Capitol Ag works with our clients to develop a written risk management policy that guides the consistent application of a risk management plan.
