Three Strategies for Dealing with Rising Fuel Costs
Join Mercatus Energy Advisors and Allegro, Tuesday April 23, 2013 at 9:00 AM CT, for a 30 minute live webinar to learn about three strategies for dealing with rising fuel costs.
Rising fuel costs can cripple businesses that consumes large volumes of fuel. Hear from Mike Corley, founder and president of Mercatus, and consultant to some of the world’s largest industrial and commercial consumers of fuel on best practices in hedging fuel costs. Then learn how leading energy consumers utilize technology to improve cost control from Michael Hinton, Allegro Chief Customer Officer.
Learn ways to manage costs during the fuel procurement process using three primary hedging strategies including:
- Swaps (fixed price) which provide you the ability to "fix" your fuel price and are the most popular fuel hedging instrument
- Call options (capped price) which provide you the ability to "cap" your exposure to rising fuel prices but also allow you to benefit if fuel prices decline
- Collars (cap and floor) which provide you the ability to "cap" your exposure to rising fuel prices as well as a "floor" which provides the ability to partially benefit from declining fuel prices
