NorthPoint

Physical Markets.
Own Capital.
Long-Term Relationships.

A physical commodity trading and investment business working across global energy and resource markets.

|

NorthPoint trades physical commodities and invests as principal.

The business grew out of more than a decade of cross-border transactions in commodity-linked industries: first as counsel, then as adviser, and now as principal.

We work from a first-hand understanding of how physical markets function: how goods are produced, financed and moved, and what drives supply and price.

Rigorous market analysis and risk evaluation underpin every NorthPoint trade.

Our Values
Four principles guide how NorthPoint works:
01
Integrity

We meet the highest professional standards in every transaction and relationship.

02
Relationships

We build long-term partnerships with counterparties across regions and supply chains, engaging openly across cultures while keeping a measured, discreet profile.

03
Market Intelligence

Every decision rests on independent analysis of commodity markets, macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical developments: substance over noise.

04
Disciplined Risk
Management 

Each transaction is evaluated on its counterparties, logistics, documentation and payment security before we commit.

Our Approach

NorthPoint acts as principal, not intermediary. We trade on our own account, work only with counterparties we have diligenced, and structure each transaction around documented logistics, independent inspection and bank-backed payment terms. We operate within the sanctions, anti-money-laundering and trade-control rules of every jurisdiction we deal in.

Why NorthPoint
Partners and counterparties work with NorthPoint for four reasons:
Access

Established relationships across the markets we work in, built over more than a decade of cross-border transactions.

Expertise

Practical knowledge of energy and resource supply chains, from contract structure and trade finance to shipping and logistics.

Capital

We trade as principal, with our own capital. Payment and performance are secured through the banking system, not through trust alone.

Clear terms, complete documentation and the same sequence on every trade.
