Derivative Instruments Mitigate Financial Risk
Risk Management in Financial Markets
As little as 140 years ago flying was considered dangerous if not impossible. In a very short period of time mankind has not only mastered the art of flying but made it safe and accessible to most.
Commencing with the Wright brothers, mankind has developed tools that make the beautiful, but risky, art of flying a safe and extremely useful activity.
Prior to the Wright brothers, American entrepreneurs invented tools suitable for eliminating risk in the agricultural and financial markets.
These tools are available to individuals and businesses in South Africa and allow an individual to safely manage the dangerous risks inherent in financial markets.
Intrepid Capital is a business with an enthusiasm for flying. Not the jump off a cliff and hope sort of flying, but the exhilarating feeling of freedom knowing flight, passengers and aircraft are safe using the tools and knowledge available in the industry.
In financial and agricultural markets, participants can invest in economic activities ordinarily fraught with risk, but by using the correct tools, these business risks can be successfully mitigated for a safe and profitable return on almost any business activity.
Pilots use tools to fly in inclement weather such as a compass, a heading Indicator, an artificial horizon, a turn and bank indication, an altimeter and a vertical speed indicator.
Astute businessmen use derivatives such as forwards, futures and options to hedge against or guard against unforeseen economic or business headwinds.
Intrepid Capital are skilled and experienced exponents in understanding and utilising the full suite of derivative risk management tools.
Currency Risk Management
An entrepreneur can lose the entire business, or great portions of profit, if he cannot adequately negotiate his way through currency volatility. Risk mitigating tools provide the means to eliminate currency risk in a volatile business environment. An entrepreneur must have access to the tools and knowledge on how to effectively utilise these instruments.
A business having to purchase physical currency at inefficient rates with accompanying drag on red tape leads to reduces profitability and frustration. By achieving superior currency rates and taking out the administrative red-tape associated with exchange control, Intrepid Capital can substantially reduce the drag associated with the purchase or remittance of foreign currency.
Physical Currency Transactions
Equities Trading
Equity derivatives can greatly increase the returns on an investment through the use of leverage. Equity derivatives can turn the investment world on its head by allowing the user to profit from a declining share price.
At Intrepid Capital we believe crypto currencies are the cutting edge of financial innovation. Although in its relative infancy, the potential benefits for society are enormous.

At Intrepid Capital we are immediately and directly available to all our clients via any communication method desired – including the much maligned, old-fashioned telephone.

Red tape and officialdom
The Golden age of aviation encapsulated a time on earth where intrepid airmen and adventurers could simply climb in a cockpit and get airborne.
Modern air travel – less so. Bureaucracy, red tape, copious forms, visas and officialdom are hallmarks of modern excursions.
At Intrepid Capital we remove the “red tape requirements” from you. As far as possible we will deal will modern officialdom on your behalf, and let you go about your affairs.
Risk management
Financial markets are fraught with risk.
Many of these risks can be effectively managed using listed JSE derivative instruments.
It is a common mistake to refer to these instruments as “risky instruments”. This is to misunderstand the entire essence of the product. They are not “risky instruments”.
