Weather Auctions[edit]
Stamford-based TFS, is the largest broker of weather derivatives in the world. This year, TFS completed an auction on behalf of UBS[2] looking to hedge its risk. The deal totaled in excess of $60 million and ended up being oversubscribed because of the high amount of interest in the transaction. TFS also recently brokered the first-ever weather derivatives auction for a company in Rome[3]totaling $40 million. Other auctions included an auction for the agricultural industry [4] and the first auction for Asia.[5] These weather auctions traded over $160 million in notional value.
