Ardistar L.L.C-FZ participates in structured trading deals bridging together the flows between producer (seller of the commodity) and off-taker (or end-buyer of the commodity) as liquidity provider, while securing financing tranches collateralized by taking title on the goods.
Commodity prepayment
is a mid-to-long term financial arrangement where a buyer pays for the commodity upfront before it is delivered. This type of transaction provides the seller with immediate cash flow and the buyer with the assurance of securing the commodity at a predetermined value.
In a commodity prepayment agreement, the buyer typically advances an agreed percentage (up to 100%) of the total value of the commodity in lumpsum to the seller. Once the payment is made, the seller is obligated to deliver the agreed-upon quantity and quality of the commodity within a specified timeframe to a specified location.
Commodity repo
short for repurchase agreements, are financial contracts where one party sells a commodity to another party with an agreement to repurchase it at a later date. This type of transaction is essentially a short-term collateralized loan where the seller borrows by pledging the title on commodity as collateral.
Collateral can be stored or transported during the repurchase agreement term in multiple tranches or routes. This arrangement allows the seller to access short-term funding while keeping distance from streamlined lending. It provides flexibility to both parties in managing their liquidity needs and optimizing their strategies.
COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE
Operating with the utmost integrity and diligence, Ardistar L.L.C-FZ adheres to rigorous international laws and best practices in trading and financing. We prioritize compliance at every stage of our operations, ensuring that our clients receive reliable and transparent services that meet the highest industry standards.

We prioritize a robust KYC process to verify the identities of our clients and partners, commodity producers, service providers, origin and history of products we are dealing with. Our internal policies and procedures are developed and implemented to ensure compliance with international regulatory and industry requirements. By conducting thorough due diligence, we aim to establish trusted relationships with our partners and maintain a high standard of integrity.
We are committed to responsible sourcing practices, ensuring that our commodities are ethically and sustainably acquired. By adhering to strict sourcing standards and engaging with reputable suppliers, we strive to promote social and environmental responsibility throughout our supply chain. We prioritize transparency and accountability to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
