NO BARRIER ACCUMULATOR

No Barrier Accumulators are typically used when the Futures price of a cash contract are “high” and you think the Futures prices will begin to trade lower allowing you to lock in a premium to the initial Futures prices on a set amount of bushels giving you a floor on your Futures price.

A No Barrier Accumulator allows you, the producer, to create a Hedge-to-Arrive contract slightly different than the traditional method of creating a Hedge-to-Arrive contract. YOU determine the MINIMUM* bushel amount you would like to sell over a pricing time period that YOU define. Once you select the bushel amount and time pricing period, we will generate a premium you will receive over what you could create with a traditional Hedge-to-Arrive for a specific minimum bushel amount.

Structured Marketing Tools can be highly customizable with varying premiums that are determined from the inputs that you create – giving you an optimal risk/reward return on your sales. A No Barrier Accumulator will create a Hedge-To-Arrive contract that will be priced evenly every day over a time window that you select – giving you the ultimate premium to the initial futures markets. Be sure to give your local Columbia Grain Merchandiser a call to go over all the potential premium products that we can offer.
