The problem this seat exists to solve
The adviser will evaluate commodity risk for investment decision-makers who need challenge beyond the borrower’s or sponsor’s presentation. The review should identify how trading activity generates exposure and whether proposed controls are credible at the scale of the business.
Scope of review
Assess counterparty concentration, financing structure, collateral practices, operational dependencies and the quality of risk reporting. Trace selected transactions to test whether policy descriptions match actual behaviour. Examine the relationship between earnings, working-capital needs and potential losses under adverse conditions.
Findings that support a decision
Distinguish material weaknesses from improvement opportunities and identify evidence that remains unavailable. Recommend conditions, monitoring or further diligence proportionate to the investment decision. Explain where the review is limited rather than allowing a broad conclusion to imply assurance over untested areas.
The report should connect each material conclusion to evidence and explain the coverage of transaction testing. If access or data is limited, identify how that affects the decision rather than presenting a broad assurance statement. The adviser should distinguish weaknesses that can be addressed before funding from those requiring ongoing monitoring or a different transaction structure. Recommendations must be specific enough for an investment authority to accept, condition, defer or decline the exposure without having to infer the commercial significance of technical findings.
Qualified candidates
Candidates should have senior commodity-risk, trade-finance or independent review experience. They need the ability to challenge both commercial and risk teams and communicate findings to investment committees. Independence from the transaction, financed business and relevant providers is central to suitability.
Expected deliverable
Produce an evidence-based report with clear conclusions, limitations and decision implications. Candidates should explain a review where management’s description of controls was stronger than the underlying evidence. The engagement is not a statutory audit, legal opinion or guarantee of credit quality; its purpose is to improve the investment decision through specific, supportable challenge.

- 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.
