Our state-of-the-art trading platform features an open infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity between the exchange and market participants.

Products:

  • Repurchase Agreements: A Commodity Repurchase Agreement (Repo) is a financial transaction where one party sells the underlying commodity to another party with a promise to repurchase them later, often at a higher price.

    ACM’s cleared commodity repo contracts centralizes this process, reducing risk and democratizing market participation. Through partnerships with renowned warehouse partners, and a strict collateral management protocol, there is an emphasis on prevention of fraud.

    ACM also conducts stringent vetting and regular monitoring of their trading members to ensure market participants in the commodity repo contracts constantly meet requirements to trade on ACM. From a legal and contractual perspective, our contracts and policies ensure that ACM has the right to sell the collateral and recover clients’ funds should there be a default.
