RISK ADVISORY
Practical solutions combined with precision execution.
Altica Risk Advisory commits intellectual and human capital to help our portfolio companies and clients grow and succeed. We combine this with decades of experience and relationships built executing transactions across Africa.
Spotlight
Commodity Hedging
Altica Risk helps banks, corporations and sovereign entities identify and mitigate price risks using financial instruments which align with loan or physical exposure allowing them to focus on running their operations.
What we offer
Risk Advisory
Currencies and Interest Rates
Altica's Risk Solutions team provides independent risk management advice and structures to manage exposures to African and G10 currencies and rates. We partner with leading institutions to provide fair and best-in-class execution.
Commodities
Commodity price risk management is critical to securing and reducing cashflow volatility. We work with clients to identify direct and indirect exposures providing solutions across energy, metals and agriculture.
Due Diligence
We help clients verify and identify information relevant to their investments and potential partners reducing counterparty and reputational risk. We combine desktop and on-the-ground legal due diligence to provide you comfort.
Alternative Hedging Solutions
A lack of financial instruments in Africa can often be a constraint in risk management. We help clients create and execute alternative strategies such as floating or fixed contracts, price pass-throughs or strategic partnerships.

Altica works with CEOs, CFOs and treasurers of businesses to optimise their capital structure. We use our global institutional relationships to structure, source and syndicate appropriate capital for your growth.

Commodity-linked Financing
Altica works with producers, consumers and traders to create and execute bespoke financing structures to suit their needs. These include pre-pay forwards, inventory-linked, reserve based, gas formulae and tolling agreements.
