CHICAGO, IL, UNITED_STATES, June 20, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TRUCKING & FREIGHT DERIVATIVES HEDGING
Risk Hedging Group Focused on the Trucking & Freight Shipping Sector Launched

Chicago, IL: Lakefront Futures & Options, LLC announces that Gary T Saykaly has joined Lakefront Futures and Options, LLC as a Senior Vice President to manage their derivatives platform focused on the trucking and freight shipping sector.

Lakefront Futures & Options, LLC has created a derivatives group that will focus on the trucking and freight shipping sector in the United States. The group will be managed by logistics and freight brokerage veteran Gary T. Saykaly and will focus on helping shippers, trucking carriers and 3PLs mitigate volatility risk in two primary areas of risk that have a significant impact to shipper transportation costs and trucking carrier revenues – trucking rates and fuel costs. The group will also work with opportunistic investors such as private equity firms that are looking for speculation and/or arbitrage opportunities in an alternative asset class.

“The trucking and freight sector is currently going through a paradigm shift with the digitization of the industry and the launching of both a trucking forward and futures market. We are now in a 3-dimensional trucking market – spot, forward and futures – and the optimal execution strategies for market participants might be engineered via a combination of solutions in all 3 markets.” According to Gary T Saykaly, SVP of Lakefront’s Trucking & Freight Derivatives Group. “The trucking sector is a $750 billion industry that is relatively unhedged. With trucking rates and fuel costs remaining volatile, market participants need an effective risk management strategy which derivatives can provide if properly structured.”
