About RSI

Established in 1997 with the purpose of finding solutions where traditional brokers could not, RSI is one of Australia's first and leading originators of weather risk transfer. It specializes in energy, utilities, mining, transport, agriculture (particularly grain) and construction segments. RSI was uniquely placed to take advantage of the evolution of weather risk transfer in the late 90's and early in the new millennium in Australia. Weather risk transfer found an early proponent in energy, brought about by privatization, and RSI originated several ground-breaking deals in this area. RSI was then able to take the experience and insights gained and apply them to other industries reliant on weather. Through its network, RSI is also able to assist clients beyond Australia, including broader Asia and Europe.

RSI is a corporate authorized representative of CQP Capital Pty Ltd (Australian Business Number 26 097 843 055), Australian Financial Services License 238394
