Rialta Exchange
Rialta operates a CFTC-registered Swap Execution Facility that connects mid-market companies with institutional liquidity providers through index-settled parametric risk contracts. The platform lets commercial operators select a public index—such as rainfall, fuel, freight, or inflation—and set a coverage threshold, then automatically auctions and settles contracts without requiring claims filing. This gives mid-market businesses the same hedging power that large public companies access through Wall Street desks.

Problem
Mid-market companies face commodity, weather, and macro risks that can erode margins and disrupt cash flow, yet they lack access to the sophisticated hedging tools that large public companies use through Wall Street desks. Traditional risk management options are often too complex, costly, or require claims-based insurance processes that create uncertainty about payouts.
Solution
Rialta operates a CFTC-registered Swap Execution Facility that connects mid-market operators with institutional capital through index-settled parametric risk contracts. Businesses select a public index—such as rainfall, fuel, freight, power, or inflation—and set a coverage threshold that matches their specific exposure. The exchange runs an automated auction where institutional liquidity providers compete on price to take on the risk, and contracts settle automatically based on the objective index value. This eliminates the need for claims filing or disputes about what is owed, giving companies predictable protection for their margins and cash flow.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid-market commercial operators across industries such as agriculture, logistics, energy, and manufacturing that need to hedge commodity, weather, and macro risks to protect margins and cash flow.
