Types of Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is often handled as a portfolio commodity, whereby a participant may break up several long-term sales agreements into short-term transactions to optimise transport costs and balance supply obligations with market conditions.

Alternatively, swap arrangements—under which two buyers or two sellers agree to swap cargoes—are becoming a more common trading model in the LNG industry. The common types include: short-term sales agreements—one to five-year bilateral agreements, often with little flexibility of terms master agreements—a popular arrangement under which seller and buyer sign an agreement that sets out the general terms under which they will buy and sell LNG, without committing the parties to an obligation to actually buy or sell specific quantities...

Investment and trading Charities draw income in various ways, and it is essential to separate investment from trade. At times the boundary is hard to spot, particularly with land. If a charity buys land intending to let it for rent, that amounts to an investment, as the aim is to produce rental return. By contrast, purchasing with a view to resale—perhaps for development—at an enhanced price places them in trading, because the profit on disposal is the objective. Some may say that, while the land is held, it effectively operates as an investment and only becomes trading property when it is sold, but that characterisation is unreliable where the real plan is to sell on at a higher price... The deciding factor is the charity’s original intention at acquisition. As stated in Trustees of BT Pension Schemes & Others v Clark (HM Inspector of Taxes), where the legal or commercial features of a transaction clearly indicate trading, the trader’s personal aims or motives do not alter its nature....
