Leonetti & Matarazzo

Our Physical Commodities Trading Division

Leonetti & Matarazzo Limited trades in physical commodities and, specifically, in oil & gas and natural resources. The Firm operate either by trading or brokering. All trades are initially identified, vetted and developed by our Chief Corporate Development Officer and then, subsequently, negotiated and finalised by our Chief Trading Officer.

Our Established Transaction Practices

L&M accepts and entertains only logic and simple procedures established in over 300 years of trading and does without all sorts of proof and/or other conjectures. Our Firm tenders and requires only quotes, offers, orders, contracts and bankable securities. Period.


The only reliable indication (not proof) that a transaction will complete successfully is a procedure that requests and offers underlying bankable securities, from both (*) sides, at the appropriate time. Seller issues a SWIFT MT760 security, bank Performance Guarantee or Performance Bond and buyer offers SWIFT securities, MT700 documentary credit or MT760 standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, etc.
(*) Unless an oil major or a reliable producer are involved, in which case no security is necessary.
