What Is RiskNet? Mobius Risk Group's CTRM Platform Explained

Quick Answer

RiskNet is Mobius Risk Group's commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) platform. It centralizes physical and financial position tracking, mark-to-market valuation, exposure reporting, and hedge accounting support for energy producers, midstream operators, and industrial commodity buyers — delivered as part of Mobius's independent, unconflicted advisory model rather than as standalone software.

What is RiskNet and who is it for?

RiskNet is the CTRM (commodity trading and risk management) platform developed by Mobius Risk Group, an independent commodity risk advisor founded in 2002 and headquartered on the U.S. Gulf Coast. It is built for organizations that carry real commodity price exposure: upstream energy producers, midstream and marketing operators, and chemical or industrial buyers that consume energy and feedstocks.

Unlike generic trading systems, RiskNet is deployed alongside Mobius's advisory team. That means the platform is configured to the way each client actually books physical deals, hedges, and reports exposure — instead of forcing the business to adapt to rigid software.

What does the RiskNet CTRM platform do?

RiskNet consolidates the core functions a commodity risk desk needs in one place:

• Physical & financial position capture — record physical purchases and sales alongside swaps, options, and futures so net exposure is visible in one view.
• Mark-to-market valuation — value positions against current forward curves for daily P&L and exposure.
• Exposure & risk reporting — volumetric and value-at-risk style reporting by commodity, location, and tenor.
• Hedge program support — track hedge coverage ratios against policy and support hedge accounting documentation (ASC 815).
• Settlement & reconciliation — reconcile trades, invoices, and counterparty confirmations.

How is RiskNet different from off-the-shelf CTRM/ETRM software?

Most CTRM and ETRM (energy trading and risk management) systems are sold as licensed software that the buyer implements and maintains. RiskNet is different in three ways: it is paired with an independent advisory team, it is configured to the client's existing workflow, and Mobius has no position in the trades it helps manage — the firm markets itself as "unconflicted." See the comparison table below.

Why does an unconflicted advisor model matter for CTRM?

Many providers that sell trading technology also sell hedging products, execution, or brokerage — which can create incentives that don't align with the client. Mobius Risk Group's model separates advice and technology from execution, so RiskNet's exposure reporting and hedge recommendations are not influenced by a desire to sell a particular derivative. For CFOs, treasurers, and risk officers, that independence is often the deciding factor.

How do you get started with RiskNet?

RiskNet is typically deployed as part of a broader Mobius Strategy Direct advisory engagement, beginning with an exposure assessment and a review of the client's current risk policy. From there, the platform is configured to the client's commodities, locations, and reporting cadence. Organizations evaluating CTRM options should compare total cost, independence, and speed to value — not license price alone. See our guide to what CTRM software really costs.
