They are typically registered with regulatory bodies, such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in the United States, and must adhere to strict compliance and reporting standards. Their services can be tailored for individual investors, hedge funds, or institutional clients seeking exposure to commodities as part of a diversified investment strategy.
