From its beginnings in 1997 as an innovator and founding developer of the Forward Freight Agreement market, SSY Futures Ltd, our specialist in-house derivatives brokerage, has grown to cover not only freight but also iron ore, coking coal, and steels.

Derivatives are now a core part of Simpson Spence Young’s total business and form a key element of the added value we offer all group clients. We are represented on all the Baltic panels, are founder members of the Forward Freight Agreement Brokers Association, and are regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our global, round the clock presence is made possible by our fast growing offices in Singapore and New York.
