General Holdings Limited and NewOak Capital LLC have launched a new platform called Common Commodities CMXG, aimed at providing global investors with access to various opportunities in the commodities sector. This initiative seeks to integrate advanced technology and institutional capital to provide investment solutions that enhance both performance and risk management.
The platform will operate from the Dubai International Financial Centre, and is designed to provide qualified investors with real performance linked to commodities, as well as scalable growth capital. This collaboration between General Holdings, known for its strong governance and strategic backing, and NewOak Capital, expert in structured financing and capital markets, establishes a trading platform aimed at promoting sustainable growth across regions.
CMXG plans to deploy around $800 million across different commodities sectors, offering solutions such as structured working capital, risk hedging, and strategic investments in production and trading platforms. The inaugural fund is expected to start operations in the first and second quarter of 2026, with investments to kick off after the first closing.
Dennis Flynn, CEO of CMXG, emphasized that the creation of the platform comes at a crucial time for commodities markets, where there are demands for secure and sophisticated financing solutions. Meanwhile, Ron D’Vari, CEO of CMXG, highlighted that the initiative aims to connect institutional investors with real assets that possess stable and high-yield characteristics.
CMXG’s operational model will be based on three core pillars: investment management, direct investment in commodities assets, and creation of commercial financing solutions. This comprehensive approach is aligned with a moment of change in global trade dynamics.
The platform also aims to manage over $2.5 billion in capital commitments within a 24-month timeframe, supported by the operational infrastructure of General Holdings and NewOak Capital’s exclusive distribution mandate. A board of directors composed of prominent members from both companies will oversee governance from the outset, ensuring effective and specialized management.
With its motto, “Funding the future of trade,” CMXG aims to be an accessible platform that connects producing regions with global capital markets, thus facilitating greater efficiency in trade and investment in commodities.
