What Is an Unconflicted Commodity Advisor (and Why It Matters)
An unconflicted commodity advisor is an independent risk-management firm that takes no position in your trades and earns no spread, markup, or commission on the hedges it recommends. Because its only revenue is the client's fee, its advice is aligned with the client's outcome rather than with transaction volume — unlike a bank, broker, or dealer, which profits from the other side of the trade.
