Applied Derivatives Information

Applied Derivatives is an independent member of the JSE Securities Exchange of South Africa, established in 2002. We provide execution, financing, and hedging across SAFEX commodities, foreign exchange, and JSE equity derivatives — for South African and international clients. What sets us apart is the analytics behind the desk. We have built a platform purpose-built for the South African grain markets: hub-level machine-learning yield models, supply-and-demand projections through the marketing year, live import/export parity, and trading-regime detection. The kind of infrastructure normally associated with international trading houses — built and operated in-house, for the benefit of our clients. We were the first South African broker to distribute the Trading Technologies (TT) platform, bringing institutional-grade execution to SAFEX. We work with: • Producers and co-ops — hedging programmes built around your delivery point. • Mills, feed manufacturers, and end-users — forward cost certainty driven by crop and parity analytics. • Proprietary and macro trading desks — regime calls, spread structures, and ENSO/IOD-aware crop scenarios. Markets: white maize, yellow maize, wheat, sunflower, soya (SAFEX); rand/dollar and major-cross FX; single-stock and index equity derivatives.
