David Nealis “The farm is one of my inspirations; I truly feel that is privilege to be involved.

The farm raises hogs, sheep, chickens and rabbits. In addition to livestock the farm also grows corn, hemp, beans, a unique local apple as well as other crops.

Over the years we’ve tested other crops for example various varieties of corn, jalapeno and habanero peppers. I am always searching for something new to grow or raise there.”

Ceres Ltd brings Huishang Futures to meet FCMs in Chicago

Two years ago Ceres Ltd signed a contract to aid Huishang Futures in their efforts to internationalize. Apart of that process was to educate them on the differences between the Chinese financial system and the American financial system in addition to classroom education we also brought them to Chicago to learn directly from some of the amazing firms in the futures industry as well as to find potential business partners.

At the heart of the futures industry are the FCMs, to over simplify it they are the clearing firms of futures trades, but they often do much more than this. At the bottom of this page we have put a definition of a FCM. It was important to bring Huishang Futures to meet and learn from USA FCMS, not only because it’s Huishang’s goal to become a US FCM and they should fully understand how different the Chinese and USA systems are.

One of the many examples is a US FCM is a private firm which in addition to many services also clears the trades but in China this is a centralized government owned clearing firm and also all of the relevant brokerage firms are owned  by the Chinese government in one form or another.

Another very important difference is in the USA the FCMs are responsible for risk management, but in China there are additional layers between the brokerage firm and the exchanges for example there is centralized government owned clearing organization as well as a national Chinese risk organization. The US firms do not have this additional safety net so rigorous risk and compliance are vital to its operations.

One of the first stops on the list was to meet with some of the amazing futures trading platforms that global capital markets traders use. Since trading in China is very insulated trading global capital markets from one platform is a relatively new concept for the average trader there.

Two and a half years ago Ceres Ltd started to cooperate with Huishang Futures, as part of our consulting with them we brought them to Chicago the heart of the world’s futures trading and we took them onto the trading floor in Chicago to get a sense of history for futures trading.  The Chinese exchanges are purely electronic so we felt this would be an important experience for them.

Though today most of the trading at the CME is done electronically it’s still a great experience to visit the trading floor.

What we found is that there is a good opportunity to bring Turkish firms to US Capital Markets because of their need to raise capital to take advantage of the recent growth in Turkey due to the current trade war between the USA and China.
