CIH is a technology-based risk management firm that provides education and customized price risk management services to businesses affected by volatility in the agriculture commodities markets. We help our clients make better decisions and confidently implement superior, long-term margin management strategies that allow them to sustain and grow their businesses.

CIH was co-founded in 1999 by current CEO Perry Iverson, and Gordon Malarkey. Over their combined 25 years in the commodities industry, the company’s co-founders grew increasingly frustrated by the subjective, commission-driven trading that limited agriculture producers’ ability to succeed. Most producers and buyers were not managing margins or price risk and missing valuable opportunities to protect favorable margins or prices. Perry and Gordon came to believe that the agricultural community needed a new kind of company, one that armed producers and buyers with a systematic, objective and education-based process for managing risk.

Our education-focused business model and team approach to client support has led to long tenure among both clients and employees, and helped fuel the company’s growth.

There is a risk of loss in futures and options trading.
