Gavilon and General Atlantic:  Growing an Agriculture and Energy Trading Operation

In June 2008, GA invested in Gavilon, formerly ConAgra Trade Group, a leading provider of merchandising, distribution, trading and risk management solutions for agriculture and energy resources. Gavilon is at the nexus of multiple global macro growth drivers.
