Cash & Call Program

at harvest with participation post-harvest through call options

cash upfront with price locked in, or defer income and all sales insured

The Cash & Call strategy is an attractive propostion when cash prices and basis are relatively stronger at harvest. The program locks in a cash sale on the day of contracting then invests a small % of equity into a portfolio of call options to participate in a combination of futures markets for 6 months post-harvest. The experienced Market Check team add value through activley managing the call options and opposing options in the currency hedge to extract maximum value for participants.

Phenomenal move in ASX Jan-23 basis Dec-22 CBOT rallying over A$150/t since mid-May. It stretched to unsustainably low levels with the rallying US futures market and has now normalised somewhat. Still a long way to go until Aussie new crop. #wheat #Plant22 pic.twitter.com/hvEWSJT7Dx

Market Check travelled through CW and NW NSW this week presenting at Forbes, Narromine, Armatree and Walgett. Feedback was that 60-80% is planted but very wet with earlier crops in far better condition than later crops. It got worse the further north we travelled. #Plant22 #wheat pic.twitter.com/no8259Nh2O

Market Check finished up last weeks seminars in Lockhart and Yarrawonga. Mixed bag of crops but generally most is in the ground and looking good. Few weeks of dry weather needed now with water still laying in many paddocks. We’re in VIC, CW and NW NSW this week. #Plant22 pic.twitter.com/ouOfVRWajQ

Major wheat export stocks are tight

Call options are a low risk way of participating in any northern hemisphere production issues

"Selling for cash and investing a small percent of the funds into a portfolio of call options, if managed correctly, is a low risk strategy that can offer significant value post-harvest."
