Frequently Asked Questions
What is mandated representation?
Mandated representation is when Clement Associates is formally authorised to act on behalf of a buyer or seller in a commodity transaction. Unlike a broker who facilitates introductions, a mandated representative has the authority to negotiate terms, evaluate counterparties, and execute on the client's behalf. This relationship is formalised through a mandate agreement prior to engagement.
What commodities does Clement Associates cover?
We operate across precious and base metals including gold, silver, copper, and aluminium; oil and gas including crude, refined products, and LNG; petrochemicals; agricultural commodities; petcoke; coal; and renewable energy. Our network spans producers, refiners, trading houses, and end users across all major commodity markets.
How does the engagement process work?
All engagements begin with an introductory conversation to assess fit and scope. If there is alignment, we formalise the relationship with a mandate or advisory agreement defining the scope of representation, remuneration structure, and confidentiality terms. Clement Associates operates exclusively on a referral basis and does not accept unsolicited mandates.
