EQUALIZER® MIN-MAX PLUS PROGRAM


DESCRIPTION

CGB Grain Market Solutions logo in black and goldThe CGB Equalizer® Min-Max PLUS (EMM Plus) blends two powerful pricing tools – the Equalizer® Min-Max and the Market Plus. The versatility and customization of this product allows you to fit it exactly to your needs. The Equalizer® Min-Max portion allows you to place a floor and ceiling, while pricing equal amounts daily within this range (for exact pricing rules, see Equalizer® Min-Max). The Market PLUS allows you to fix a strike price above the market in exchange for premium to help pay for the Equalizer® Min-Max (for exact pricing rules, see Market PLUS). The Market PLUS portion can be against the same or different futures month giving you ultimate flexibility.

 

ADVANTAGES OF THE EMM PLUS

    • Allows you to lower or eliminate the cost of an Equalizer® Min-Max.
    • Allows you to use different futures months so to spread production risk out.
    • The Equalizer® Min-Max protects you completely at the floor while also giving you upside participation.
    • The Market Plus gives you upside all the way to the Offer Price.
