Where real world businesses neutralize real world risks.

Large public companies use Wall Street hedging desks to protect their margins. Rialta gives mid-market operators that same power, connecting them with institutional capital through simple, index-settled contracts to protect their margins and cash flow.

Rialta Exchange is a CFTC Swap Execution Facility (in designation) connecting mid-market operators with institutional capital through index-settled parametric risk contracts.

The marketplace

Focus on what you do best... growing your business.

Stop losing sleep, hoarding cash and deferring growth plans in the face of risks you can't control. Rialta allows you to neutralize those risks so you can grow your business profitably.

Demand side

RialtaRialta

The Exchange

Runs the auction and settles automatically.

Capital side

Liquidity Provider

Prices the risk and takes it on.

Every contract references an objective public index - rainfall, fuel, freight, power, inflation, etc. - published by an independent source.

How settlement works

No claim to file, and no argument about what you are owed.

01

Choose an index and set the threshold

Pick the public index that tracks your exposure and the threshold where it starts costing you money.

02

Capital competes on price

Institutional participants bid to provide the coverage. The auction sets the price.

03

The index decides

Cross the threshold during the contract period and settlement is paid automatically.

I'm exposed to volatility I cannot control

What people are saying about Rialta

Feedback from operators before launch.

  • Agriculture

    People think farming is all about the weather, but that's only part of it. We also deal with changing fertilizer, seed, fuel, labour and other inputs that have a real impact on our margins. We use insurance, government programs and hedge some of our crops where we can, but there are still plenty of risks we just absorb. If there was a simple, cost-effective way to protect against those kinds of shocks - and get paid quickly instead of waiting months - we'd certainly look at it. Strong cash flow and long-range planning is critical in farming, no matter how large your operation is.

  • Construction

    In construction, you can do everything right and still get hurt by things you can't control. Steel and lumber prices move, inflation drives up project costs, interest rates change, and bad weather delays schedules. If developers had a simple way to hedge those risks, I think it would become a standard part of every project.

  • Professional Services & BPO

    Rialta made me think differently about operational risk. We've always accepted that rising unemployment can hurt our profitability because of higher experience-rated unemployment taxes. The idea that we could transfer that risk through a simple financial contract is incredibly compelling.
