EDF Trading: well known in the Energy Trading business?

Hi guys,

Just wanted to know your take on these guys? Are they well known in the energy trading business? Or am I better off at a prop house, e.g. Gunvor.

 
jimz:
EDF trading is a very well known place. They bought Eagle Energy after Lehman went under.. There a pretty big power trading firm in North America and they do quite a bit of oil trading in Europe.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm more interested in the Oil aspect, as power and gas just don't appeal. Do you know how they compare to places like Gunvor, Vitol and Mercuria?

 

They are well known in the power markets, but the power markets today are hampered by regulation.

The commodity trading houses - Gunvor as you mentioned for example - are pretty well respected and are probably less power focused. Neither are bad but if it were my choice I'd choose a commodity house every single time as the potential pay-off is particularly higher at those shops.

I'll bump this to the top because a certain poster has experience in all of the above and hopefully he will respond. I don't wanna give out his personal info, rather let him find this post. Good luck.
