COMMODITY PRICES ARE
BEYOND YOUR CONTROL.
YOUR MARGIN ISN’T.
When commodity prices spike, companies lose millions every day. Not because of weak products or a shortage of orders, but because buying prices move faster than the numbers the deal was priced on.
HedgeGo gives you back control of volatile commodity markets. We analyze your specific price risk, build a hedge around it, and give purchasing, controlling and management something they can plan against.
Up to 80 – 90 % lower economic price risk.
More certainty.
More transparency.
More profit.
The world has become an uncertain place. Wars. Supply chains. Inflation. Tariffs. Energy prices. Currency swings. Political crises. Natural disasters.
Commodity prices used to drift, up or down. Today markets move within days, sometimes within hours, and a quote that was profitable yesterday can be a loss tomorrow.
Many managing directors only notice this once the margin has already gone.
Then the scramble starts. Suppliers get called. Price increases are discussed. Purchasing tries to renegotiate. Finance revises forecasts. Controlling explains budget variances.
By that point the real problem has long since taken hold. Not in purchasing. Not in sales. Not in controlling.
It lies in the missing hedge against price risk.
Most companies believe
they have a purchasing problem.
In reality they have a price risk problem, and the difference between the two is enormous. A good buyer negotiates prices. An outstanding buyer develops suppliers. But no buyer alive can head off a geopolitical crisis, and none can move the market:
▸ Not oil prices.
▸ Not copper prices.
▸ Not aluminum prices.
▸ Not energy prices.
▸ Not exchange rates.
▸ Not inflation.
Price movements now do more to shape a company’s profit than any single negotiation. Which is exactly why purchasing alone is no longer enough.
EVERY EURO OF MARGIN
BEGINS WITH RISK.
Many companies look at their commodities in isolation.
▸ Steel.
▸ Copper.
▸ Aluminum.
▸ Nickel.
▸ Plastics.
▸ Chemicals.
In reality these prices are connected.
They respond to the same economic forces.
▸ Inflation.
▸ Interest rates.
▸ China.
▸ Currencies.
▸ Transport costs.
▸ Energy prices.
This is where HedgeGo comes in. We do not look at individual commodities. We look at your entire economic risk.
PICTURE THIS
Without HedgeGo
You win a contract worth 15 million euros. The numbers add up. Production runs. The sales team is happy.
Six months on, commodity prices have moved sharply. The margin is halved, or gone altogether. Not because your company did anything wrong, but because the market was stronger.
With HedgeGo
Now picture the same deal with HedgeGo:
An intelligent proxy absorbs most of the price movement.
While other companies watch profit disappear, your pricing holds.
That is exactly what HedgeGo is built for.
THIS IS NOT TRADING!
▸ We do not speculate.
▸ We do not bet on prices rising or falling.
▸ We do not trade commodities.
▸ We do not day-trade.
We build mathematical models that replicate your specific price risk as precisely as possible.
The goal is not return. The goal is stability.
WHAT IS A COMMODITY PROXY?
Very few companies buy standardized exchange-traded products. They buy mixed materials.
▸ Alloys.
▸ Composites.
▸ Specialty chemicals.
▸ Semi-finished goods.
▸ Custom materials.
There is often no way to hedge these directly on an exchange. Which is precisely why HedgeGo builds what we call a proxy.
A proxy is an intelligent basket of tradable commodities and financial instruments. The basket replicates your specific purchasing risk as closely as possible.
The result is an economic hedge, even when the commodity you actually buy is not traded on an exchange.
WHY HEDGEGO IS DIFFERENT
Without HedgeGo
▸ Many consultancies sell standard solutions.
▸ Many banks sell their own products.
▸ Many brokers sell transactions.
With HedgeGo
▸ HedgeGo sells no financial products.
▸ HedgeGo builds the intelligence behind your hedge.
That means:
▸ modeling built around you
▸ mathematical risk analysis
▸ continuous optimization
▸ full transparency
▸ independent solution
▸ no conflicts of interest
1.
Analysis
We go through your purchasing data in detail, not at surface level.
▸ Which materials do you buy?
▸ How are your prices developing?
▸ Which suppliers do you work with?
▸ What volumes?
▸ What contract terms?
▸ And what risk does that create?
Risk assessment
This is where you see how exposed your company really is to price movements.
For many managing directors it is the first real eye-opener.
Because the risk is usually far greater than expected.

Building the Proxy Index
Our models build a proxy specific to you. It tracks your price movements as closely as possible.
Execution
Your bank or broker executes the proposed instruments.
Not HedgeGo. That keeps the roles cleanly separated.

5.
Ongoing monitoring
Markets change. So does your proxy.
HedgeGo continuously monitors effectiveness and adjusts the modeling whenever your purchasing structure or market conditions change.
DATA PROTECTION AS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Your purchasing data is among the most sensitive information your company holds. Which is why it stays with HedgeGo alone. No bank, broker or asset manager ever sees your purchasing structure.
Every decision to act stays with you. You keep full control.
THE RESULT
Picture this:
▸ Your sales team quotes with confidence again.
▸ Your buyers stop watching exchange prices every morning.
▸ Your CFO knows the risks ahead.
▸ Your controllers produce forecasts that hold.
▸ Your management decides on data instead of assumptions.
That is exactly what HedgeGo was built for.

Industrial companies with complex purchasing structuresWHY NOW?
Markets are not becoming calmer. They are becoming more volatile.
Supply chains are shifting. Geopolitical conflicts are increasing. Tariffs are rising and currencies swing more sharply.
Companies that do not actively manage their price risk today will see considerably larger swings in their results.
So the question is no longer: “Do we need a hedge?”
But:
“How much longer can we afford to operate without a professional price risk strategy?”
NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME
Let’s look at this together:
▸ how large your commodity risk really is,
▸ which price movements put your margin at risk,
▸ where the savings are,
▸ and how HedgeGo can make your company more resilient to volatile markets.
Book a strategy call. No off-the-shelf consulting. No product pitch. A thorough analysis of your own price risk.
solutions for your currency risk
Volatile rates and constant trend-watching tie up your treasury and weigh on your balance sheet and cash flow. We turn that work into three data-driven solutions: the right moment to convert foreign currency receivables, the right moment to settle foreign currency payments, and an early warning before a trend turns.
