Michael Ortiz is a pioneer in agricultural OTC trading with a career that began in the soybean pit at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1980s.

He later built Hanley Group Capital’s OTC business, which was acquired by INTL FCStone, where he became President of INTL FCStone Markets. In 2014, he joined ED&F Man to build their OTC platform before founding Pack Creek Capital in 2017. From 2010 to 2017, Ortiz generated over $350 million in trading profits with no losing months. He holds a degree in economics from the University of Colorado. From 2017 to today, Michael is the head trader for Pack Creek Capital, capturing opportunities in agricultural options for commercial and investors. Michael runs the TPAC Capital trading desk, running a profitable book and advising clients on new innovative strategies. 

Richard Dunlap

President

Dick Dunlap began his career in the capital markets in 1989 as an option market maker in the corn options pit with Kottke and Associates. In the early 1990s, as the financial futures pits began to grow at the Chicago Board of Trade, Dunlap started a brokerage group in the five-year treasury note futures. He and his team of fifteen clerks executed tens of millions of futures and options contracts for the world’s largest banks and hedge funds. In the fall of 2010, Dunlap left the trading pits to work on capital introduction for an emerging manager in the CTA hedge fund space, Metolius Capital. In 2015, he partnered with a large family office in the CTA hedge fund space to launch Trowbridge Trading, an Introducing Broker. Trowbridge Trading now oversees over a billion dollars in notionally traded funds across all asset classes.
