What they like? Comparable to an investment banking desk w.r.t. trading? If not, what are the disadvantages and advantages. Are firms like this seen favorably from investment banks and hedge funds when looking to migrate?Cheers

Anyone...?

I'm not too familiar with Trafigura but with some of its competitors. I think they are a physical commodity supplier, so they make money by moving commodities/respond to clients physical needs and therefore offer different services than an investment bank (although there's could be some overlap in areas like project financing).I have never seen a trader making the move to an investment bank/hedge fund. But some time ago commodity wasn't that popular, so that may change. Anyway, commodity traders seem to me already like a hedge fund, so I don't know why you would go first to Trafigura and then an investment bank/hedge fund.
