About the firm
About Richards Consultant.
Richards Consultant acts as agent, broker and analyst in wholesale electronic markets. We sit between buyers and sellers, and between a decision and the information behind it.
We believe an intermediary earns its place by moving things forward: finding the counterparty, testing the price, closing the trade and telling you plainly what we saw. Everything we do is measured against that.
We are based in Canada and work with counterparties across the markets we cover.
Operating principles
How we work.
- 01
Price before pitch
We lead with the number and the evidence behind it, not with the story.
- 02
Say what we saw
Plain reporting on what happened and why, including when it did not go to plan.
- 03
Discretion by default
Your position and your counterparties stay confidential unless you decide otherwise.
- 04
Clear mandates
Authority, scope and fees are written down before we act.
- 05
Independent view
Our analysis is ours. We tell you what the market is saying, not what you hope to hear.
- 06
Relationships over volume
A trade we would not repeat is a trade we would not make.
