Sarnen · Switzerland · Physical Trade

Trade, executed with Swiss discipline.

Fortuna Trading is the commodity desk of Fortuna Immobilien GmbH — a Swiss principal for physical metals, minerals and structured sourcing. Documents before commitments. Banks before promises.

What we trade

Three desks. One standard.

We act as principal or mandated intermediary in physical transactions — with verified counterparties, inspected goods and bank-grade payment instruments. Nothing else.

Desk 01

Metals & Minerals

Industrial ores and mineral raw materials, sourced at origin and delivered against inspection certificates.

  • Chromite ore & industrial minerals
  • Origin due diligence on site
  • SGS / independent inspection at load
  • CIF / FOB per Incoterms 2020
Desk 02

Precious Metals

Trade in precious metals conducted strictly within the Swiss precious metals control framework.

  • Compliance with the Swiss PMCA framework
  • Documented provenance only
  • Settlement via Swiss banking channels
  • Discretion as default
Desk 03

Sourcing & Structured Trade

Mandated sourcing and transaction structuring for buyers who need a Swiss counterpart between themselves and origin.

  • Buyer & supplier verification
  • Contract architecture under Swiss law
  • Payment instrument structuring (LC/DLC)
  • Logistics & documentation control
Responsible Sourcing

We know our origin. Personally.

We are not a conglomerate with a sustainability department — we are a principal who inspects the source himself. Every origin we trade from has been visited, every supply chain documented. That is not a programme; it is how we work.

Active corridors: South-East European origin → buyers in Europe, South Asia and South America.
I

Origin due diligence on site — mines, processing and loading points are visited before the first contract is drafted.

II

Documented provenance and counterparty screening against applicable sanctions lists as an integral part of our KYC process.

III

No engagement in supply chains from conflict-affected or high-risk areas without enhanced due diligence — or not at all.

How we work

Why Fortuna?

I

Swiss jurisdiction

Contracts under Swiss law, disputes before Swiss courts, settlement through Swiss banking standards. Predictability is a commodity of its own.

II

Documents before commitments

No engagement proceeds without full KYC, proof of product or funds, and verifiable paperwork. This filters out noise — by design.

III

Principal contact

You negotiate with the decision-maker, not a broker chain. Thirteen years of market experience sit on our side of the table.

IV

Legal & commercial in one hand

Trade structuring, contract drafting and risk assessment are done in-house — economic and legal thinking combined, not outsourced.

Argjent Avdyli
The Principal

Argjent Avdyli

Managing Director · Trader · Strategic Operator

Fortuna Trading is led by Argjent Avdyli, Managing Director of Fortuna Immobilien GmbH. His profile combines thirteen years of market experience with an operator's background: a Master's degree in economics, ongoing law studies at the University of Zurich, and years of running complex projects where contracts, deadlines and liability decide outcomes. As International Advisor for Switzerland of the United States Foreign Trade Institute (USFTI), he is part of a trade network spanning 44 countries. Trades are structured, negotiated and signed by the principal himself — the person you speak to is the person who decides.

«A trade is won in the documents — long before the vessel sails.»
— Argjent Avdyli, Managing Director
Process & Compliance

Four steps. No shortcuts.

Step 01

Introduction & KYC

Corporate documents, beneficial ownership, and — depending on side — proof of product or proof of funds. Exchanged under NDA where required.

Step 02

Term sheet

Commodity, specification, quantity, delivery basis, price mechanism and payment instrument — fixed in writing before anything moves.

Step 03

Contract & instruments

Sales and purchase agreement under Swiss law; payment secured through bank instruments — typically an irrevocable documentary letter of credit.

Step 04

Inspection & delivery

Independent inspection at load port, documents through banking channels, delivery per agreed Incoterms. Every step leaves a paper trail.

A note on seriousness. The physical commodity market attracts intermediaries without goods, buyers without funds and documents without substance. Our KYC-first process exists to protect both sides from all three. If you cannot evidence your side of a transaction, we will not engage — respectfully, but without exception.

The Group
