Welcome to the website of the Commodity Risk Management Academy. Here you will find courses and workshops on the use of futures and options for the commodity driven industries.

In the online course Commodity Futures Professor Pennings explains how you can use futures to better negotiate prices and to hedge (part) of your risks while capitalizing on price relationships between local and futures prices. Pennings will start with an introduction on hedging and subsequently shows how you can optimize your risk management strategy such that you have the best possible risk-return balance.
After the course you will be familiar with the functioning and possibilities of futures markets, in particularly how you can use them — and the information embedded in futures prices –to better negotiate prices and how to hedge effectively on futures markets.

The course coordinator and expert is prof. dr ir Joost M.E. Pennings, an authority in the field of risk management and commodity futures and options markets. One of his motivations is to provide insight into the functioning of futures and options markets.
