Strategy
Primary is systematically driven but physically grounded. Unlike traditional commodity hedge funds that rely primarily on macro views or technical signals, Primary operates more like an industrial intelligence-driven trading house.
Strategic Partnerships
Primary’s edge begins with visibility: through its strategic partnership with a global commodities trading and supply-chain company, Primary has direct insight into supply chains across more than 65 metals and access to over 150 of traders and thousands of producers and consumers.
This relationship provides an information advantage rarely available outside major proprietary trading desks. Through this relationship, the fund gains:
- Visibility into global physical flows and inventories
- Direct insight from producers, refiners and end-users
- Early detection of supply disruptions or demand shifts
- Real-time feedback from market participants
This physical-world industrial intelligence provides access to information often unavailable to purely financial commodity investors.
Proprietary Agentic AI
Primary’s second differentiator is the proprietary agentic AI foundation, which deploys a network of specialised AI agents that continuously track global news, geopolitical developments, regulatory changes, supply-chain disruptions, sentiment shifts, and a wide range of market variables. These agents identify subtle, previously unobservable signals and pattern relationships at a scale and consistency impossible for human teams. Rather than relying solely on historical correlations, the platform produces trading insights grounded in evolving real-world conditions.
Domain Expertise
Finally, Primary’s domain expertise ensures that AI strengthens, rather than replaces, sound judgment. Primary’s team brings deep knowledge and experience across the entire metals value chain, from mine development and refining to physical trading and end-market consumption, allowing Primary to assess inflection points with context and discipline.
