FFA

Thurlestone Financial Ltd was established in January 2019 as a complementary division to Thurlestone Shipping. Its primary focus is Dry Bulk Forward Freight Agreements (FFA’s) across Capesize, Panamax, Supramax and Options markets.

Thurlestone Financial offers their customers hedging solutions against a highly volatile underlying physical market to enable greater control of the risk in their businesses.

The FFA market has become a very useful tool for our customers and also a key barometer in valuations on physical period pricing as well as market direction and sentiment.

Thurlestone Financial will be using both Bloomberg and Reuters to disseminate pricing, research and market analysis to aid not only its existing customer base, but also to attract new client interest providing greater liquidity to a relatively young market.
