AEGIS SEF, LLC (“AEGIS Markets”), a CFTC-regulated subsidiary of
AEGIS Hedging Solutions (“AEGIS”) and bilateral marketplace for
commodity hedging, today provided multiple updates on its financial
counterparty (“Dealer”) participation, record 2Q 2024 trading
activity, and external market recognition.
AEGIS Markets ended 2Q24 with 30 participating Dealers,
including the addition of 2 significant new counterparties. Record
liquidity, combined with increased volume from Commercial End
Users, fueled another quarter of growth. In 2Q24, volume rose by
over 20%, and trade count increased by more than 50% compared to
the prior year’s quarter.
“We appreciate all of our Dealers on AEGIS Markets. The two most
recent Dealers who have come online bring additional liquidity for
our Commercial End Users,” said Chris Payne, President of AEGIS
Markets. “We also saw a significant increase in Commercial End User
activity available for our Dealers during the quarter. Together,
increased liquidity and increased activity hit two of the critical
metrics we watch closely to ensure we’re improving hedging markets
for all participants.”
During the quarter, AEGIS Markets was recognized as the OTC
Trading Platform of the Year by Energy Risk. This award recognizes
excellence and innovation in risk management across the commodities
complex and all OTC derivatives platforms. “AEGIS Markets fills a
critical role in commodity markets by enabling rapid price
discovery, efficient execution, and insightful analytics – all
capabilities unique to AEGIS Markets and not possible using
traditional hedge execution methods. This award is meaningful,
independent recognition of the value we are bringing across these
areas,” said Payne.
