With a team of industry experts, led by Chief Market Strategist Ted Seifried, enchanced with expert analsyis by Karen Braun, we break down individual risk profiles and develop customized, margin and capital-efficient strategies to address the needs of a shifting market landscape.
Your situation is not the same as your neighbor's. What sets us apart from other brokers and ag groups is our ability to listen closely to you to match your unique requirements to time-tested, proven strategies.
We consider ourselves teaching brokers - we want all of our clients to understand exactly how each hedge strategy will work for them. We know when clients do not use any hedge strategies, most of the time it is due to lack of understanding.
For more than 45 years, Zaner has provided expert advice and brokerage services to users worldwide in the futures, commodities, agricultural, metals, currencies, and energies markets.
Ted Seifried, Zaner Ag VP and Chief Market Strategist, and his team specialize in agricultural hedging employing various strategies using futures, futures spreads, outright options and option combinations.
