The Plum Grove and CBH Grain Managed Pool.

The Managed Pool is a traditional seeding time contracting wheat pool managed by the pool management teams of both Plum Grove and CBH Grain.

The objective of the Pool is to achieve an above average return over the life of the pool, but with the majority of wheat sold and / or hedged by the end of October (before we head into northern hemisphere harvest). It has 4 key pricing periods from seeding through until October the following year. This ensures the pool has a minimum level of price security, while allowing for upside prior to harvest.

The historical performance of the Pool

The Managed Pool has performed exceptionally well over the past seasons. Over the past five completed seasons (2005–06 to 2009–10), the Managed Pool has outperformed the highest available cash price published during the month of May by an average of $20.70. This assumes your entire cash payment on 15 December each year with the Managed Pool distribution payments discounted back to the same day.
