Risk Management

The superior market knowledge of our experienced team gives Western Wool a significant competitive advantage to manage risks in the business effectively. Correct and timely information, combined with sophisticated risk management solutions help protect our customer’s margins and reduce their exposure to risk.

For our woolgrower clients we have developed a Hedge to Arrive forward contract (HTA) which allows you to forward market your wool clip up to 12 months in advance. This risk management solution allows the producer to sell their wool through the traditional auction system realising fair premiums and discounts determined by the trade while reducing risk. This not only offers price surety to our growers but also allows volume forward sales to our export customers.

We can tailor our product offering to meet various requirements on pricing terms, currency and tenor. For the latest forward levels, refer to our  Weekly Market Report.

 

Cash Flow Assistance

We offer shearing advances to assist you with cash flow at shearing time. Monies can be transferred to a nominated account promptly after the necessary documentation is returned to our office.

Please contact one of our area representatives for more information.
