Physical trading and logistics in commodities markets is our core business. We have made strategic investments to develop assets that strengthen our trading operations. These are managed independently as standalone organisations. They transact business within the Group and with third parties. This approach maximises productivity in all parts of the Group and ensures resources are allocated efficiently.
*The size of each segment is not indicative of percentage of ownership or contribution to Trafigura’s bottom line.
Our investments are structured as standalone businesses
Strategic investments complement our trading acitivities. As firm believers in the benefits of local rather than central control, we structure these investments as standalone businesses.
Galena Asset Management’s teams operate wholly independently of Trafigura, but benefit from the Group’s insights into global supply and demand.
Puma Energy is an independent company, 49.6 percent of its share capital is owned by Trafigura.
