The problem this seat exists to solve
The adviser will design or strengthen credit-risk practices for commodity trading, from counterparty assessment through settlement. The assignment should connect policy to the points where exposure is created, changes or should be reduced.
Framework responsibilities
Map transaction types and identify credit, performance, settlement and collateral exposures. Recommend risk appetite, approval authorities and monitoring requirements proportionate to those exposures. Clarify how connected counterparties, guarantees and risk mitigants are recognised, with specialist review of legal assumptions.
The framework should define exposure ownership when a transaction passes between trading, operations, credit and treasury. Include procedures for incomplete documentation, changes in buyer or delivery arrangements and delayed settlement. Policy should specify which changes require renewed approval rather than allowing an originally approved transaction to evolve beyond its risk basis. The adviser should also define the information required to close a transaction in the risk system, ensuring that accounting settlement or goods movement alone does not prematurely remove an unresolved exposure.
Decisions the framework must support
- Whether to trade before all documentation or security conditions are satisfied.
- How to adjust limits when prices, tenor or settlement patterns change.
- When a transaction should move from routine monitoring to enhanced review.
- Who can approve an exception and what evidence is required to close it.
Qualified advisers
Candidates should have built or materially improved commodity credit frameworks and understand agricultural trading operations. They need experience with both policy design and implementation, including the friction between commercial speed and credit discipline.
Acceptance of the engagement
Deliverables should include a usable policy, decision authorities, transaction-specific controls and a rollout plan. Test the design against real anonymised cases, including a deteriorating counterparty and an incomplete collateral package. The adviser does not become the credit approver by default. Success means employees can make consistent decisions and escalate uncertainty without depending on informal personal judgement.

- Advisory engagement
Before you apply — an advisory engagement
No office of director, and no appointment formalities.
An advisory engagement creates no directorship in Singapore. There is no registry filing, no regulator pre-approval, no residency arithmetic and no statutory director liability — which is why it is so often the right first step into a market you do not yet know.
- On this brief
- Independence
- Where the engagement specifies independence from any search that follows, that is a requirement of the engagement rather than a courtesy — an adviser to a board is not a candidate for it.
