Energy Risk

Energy Risk

Energy Risk is the leading subscription service dedicated to risk management, trading, regulation and trading technology for the global energy and commodities markets. The content of Energy Risk has been described as required reading by chief financial officers, treasurers, chief risk officers, trading heads and fund managers around the globe. Energy Risk is the one central publication to meet all your commodities intelligence and information needs. The brand includes a monthly print publication, conferences, training courses, newsletters, special reports, surveys, end-user forums, roundtable discussions and a comprehensive online resource in the form of Energy Risk Online.

The editorial influence of Energy Risk has been far-reaching and profound. Since the inception of the publication in 1994, risk management and regulation has risen to the top of board agendas and managing energy price volatility has become essential for energy producers and consumers alike.

As the only title dedicated to financial risk management in this sector, Energy Risk has helped companies understand the concepts and terms borrowed from the financial markets while also helping financial institutions understand the physical complexity of the energy sector.

Coverage ranges across news, features, profiles, regulatory updates and analytical articles explaining the background of the energy markets to cutting edge quantitative papers. These technical articles are referred and approved by a technical editor in liaison with industry specialists and academics to provide readers with pioneering research into the energy markets.

Energy Risk’s editorial comment attracts attention from leading journals and broadsheets around the globe, with survey results regularly in demand from industry bodies and the press.

We are pioneering in our reports, having published the world’s first: weather derivatives report in 1997; broadband trading supplement in 2000; emissions and freight supplements in 2004; and in 2006 a global e-symposium on weather risk. This tradition continues with a range of emissions e-symposiums and a series of webinars. Energy Risk also conducts Research Surveys on pertinent topics: these are popular with product and solution providers because they are a powerful way for businesses to promote what they do.

Through our conferences, webinars, video interviews, e-symposiums, forums and special projects, Energy Risk provides a unique platform that brings together all corners of the industry from energy-intensive companies to technology providers, regulators to traders and quants to risk managers.

With world developments driving volatility in the global oil, gas and power markets, the need for a reliable source of information on risk management and financing is greater than ever.

Energy Risk has offices and editorial staff in London, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong, providing rolling independent reporting and analysis on the industry worldwide.

In addition to the the monthly print publication, the Energy Risk franchise includes conferences, training courses, books, newsletters, an online enterprise in the form of Energy Risk Online and a new host of special projects (special reports, surveys, end-user forums, roundtable discussions) that ensure your message is delivered to your target audience of the most senior decision makers and traders in the global energy industry.

Energy Risk now includes additional coverage of metals markets: it will continue to be the one central publication to meet all your commodities intelligence and information needs.
