Silfjord combines global physical commodity trading, asset ownership, and strategic advisory. We operate across energy, metals and agricultural supply chains, and we provide M&A and capital advisory for high-value transactions and family offices.
We merchandise and broker physical commodities across energy, metals and agriculture, and we take real ownership in the assets that produce them.
We advise on the transactions in these sectors and originate co-investment for the families and institutions who fund them, driven by intelligence from the trading floor.
The future of a real asset is written down in public long before a process starts. It sits in grid queues, planning portals, court lists, land registries and company filings, and almost nobody reads it as one system. We do, so we can get to a situation while it is still early, check who is really behind it, and bring it to someone who can act.
Producing fields, mines, power and physical commodities that never reach an open market. They move between people who already know each other, so we sit inside that network and can put a deal in front of the operators, refiners, funds and family offices who actually move on it, warm.
Representative · full detail by introduction only
Every one starts as an event in public data, caught by a proprietary signal system that reads the record the way most desks cannot. We monitor grid and interconnection queues, planning and permitting portals, court and insolvency lists, land, company and beneficial-ownership registries, and customs, shipping and sanctions filings, all at once and continuously. When the pattern that runs ahead of a sale, a distressed exit or a supply opening appears, the system surfaces it, we verify who is really behind it and how clean the origin is, and we act while the situation is still early and quiet. Everything we read is public. The engine that connects it, and the judgment that turns a signal into a deal you can act on, is ours.
A licensed, cash-flowing energy asset in a strategic, non-sanctioned basin, available on terms the open market will not see. We have verified the seller and screened the origin, and buyers are already circling.
A licensed, cash-flowing energy asset in a strategic, non-sanctioned basin, available on terms the open market will never see.
The situation came to us early, before any process ran, because the ownership and financing paper pointed to a sale that had not been announced yet. We verified the seller, screened the origin against sanctions and beneficial ownership, and confirmed the cash flow is real and current.
Timing is the whole point here. Close to a fifth of the world's seaborne oil moves through the Strait of Hormuz, and every stretch of tension over that transit reprices freight, insurance and the premium buyers will pay for barrels that sit outside the chokepoint. That is a large part of why this asset is drawing interest now, and why the buyers already circling want to move before the wider market reads the same signal.

Non-sanctioned oil, gas and soft-commodity corridors we have mapped and screened ourselves, in a market where most mandates go nowhere.
Non-sanctioned oil, gas and soft-commodity corridors we have mapped and screened ourselves, in a market where most physical mandates go nowhere.
Almost every supply offer that lands in an inbox is a daisy chain of brokers with no real cargo behind it. These are different. We have walked each corridor back to the origin, checked the counterparties, and confirmed the product and the route actually exist and can perform.
The Strait of Hormuz is why reliability is worth paying for. When tension rises around the strait, buyers who depend on a single route through it are exposed overnight, and the ones who plan ahead want screened supply that either sits outside Hormuz or comes with a counterparty who can still deliver if the strait is disrupted. That continuity is exactly what these corridors are built to give.

Consented, connected capacity we found in the public record while the financing is still open.
Consented, grid-connected capacity we found in the public record while the financing is still open.
Grid queues, planning consents and interconnection agreements are public, and read together they show which sites hold real, buildable power capacity long before a sponsor is ever named. We monitor them continuously, so we reach these projects while the equity and debt are still being arranged and a partner can still come in on the ground floor.
These are early by design. They suit an investor or strategic who wants a position in power infrastructure before the round closes and the terms harden.

An operating resource asset with a capex story and a clear path to better economics, held for direct stake or a strategic partner.
An operating resource asset with a capex story and a clear path to better economics, held for a direct stake or a strategic partner.
The asset is producing today and the upside is straightforward. A defined capital programme lifts output and lowers unit costs, which is the kind of story that rewards a partner who understands the sector and can underwrite the capex.
Demand for the underlying metal is structural, driven by electrification and the rebuild of industrial supply chains, so the window to take a position at today's basis is what makes it interesting.

A buyside and sellside advisory engagement matching a real asset to the small number of parties who can actually close at this size.
A buyside and sellside advisory engagement matching a real asset to the small number of parties who can actually close at this size.
At this level the universe of credible counterparties is small, and getting a deal done comes down to knowing exactly who holds the mandate, the capital and the appetite right now. That is the network we run the process through.
Energy assets are repricing as geopolitical risk moves, and the tension around the Strait of Hormuz feeds straight into how buyers value barrels, routes and security of supply. We factor that into how the asset is positioned and which parties we take it to.

High-conviction co-investment sourced directly from the trading floor's market intelligence, offered first to a small group of family offices and institutional partners.

The situations we act on throw off more opportunity than we hold on our own book. The best of what is left goes to a short list of partners who can move quickly and quietly, ahead of any broader syndication.
It is the same intelligence that drives the trading floor, packaged as co-investment for capital that wants direct access to the situation.
