12 Implied Volatility vs. Historical Volatility Volatility Implied - derived from current market option prices Historical - calculated from historical market price returns Implied Volatilities A more representative way of quantifying the market s expectation of the future price range for a particular commodity vs. historical volatilities
13 Methodology Liquid Markets Market straddle quotes are obtained for the natural gas and electricity markets to calculate ATM implied volatilities Argus uses a modified Black-Scholes option valuation model Argus uses a 365 day year (vs. 252 trading days) Remaining strike price implied volatilities are calculated using market option prices when available or prior day relationships to the ATM option strike prices when no market data is available ( Smile ) All Call and Put Implied Volatility curves are tested to make sure no arbitrage conditions are violated prior to releasing the curves to Argus customers
14 Methodology Illiquid Markets Illiquid natural gas and electricity implied volatility curves are only available for ATM strike prices Typically NO options trade for illiquid markets Illiquid implied volatility curves are useful for valuing real options contained in physical assets, financial contracts, etc. All illiquid implied volatility curves are based on a reference market that does contain market-traded options A reference market must have a strong correlation between its forward prices and the forward prices for the illiquid market in question. The implied volatility curve for the illiquid market is derived from the reference market s implied volatility and historical volatility forward curves and the illiquid market s forward curve historical volatility.
15 Key Advantages of Argus Implied Volatility Forward Curves Argus produces implied volatility Call & Put strike price surface areas ( Smile ) for multiple gas and power markets This information is generally not available from energy industry data providers. Implied Volatility smiles are dynamic - regularly updated with market information as data becomes available Back-testing has shown that Argus implied volatility smile curves have been very accurate.
16 Key Advantages of Argus Implied Volatility Forward Curves (Continued) Multiple Data Suppliers Wide range of data sources provide current market option pricing information Brokers only have access to their own brokerage desk pricing data Independent and objective Argus does not participate in energy markets Complete and comprehensive No pricing gaps, all prices are marked within the term 3+ year term on Implied Volatility products (currently through 2016) Illiquid trading hubs are marked Published Methodology Not a Black Box ; adheres to Argus Code of Conduct and Compliance standards Access to Risk Management Group
17 Some Applications for Argus Implied Volatilities Asset valuation (for assets that contain real options ) Natural Gas Storage Power Generation Assets physical tolls, physical heat rate options Synthetic Assets financial heat rate options, etc. Natural Gas & Electricity Option Valuation MTM of option portfolios Implied Volatility curve validation Market Risk Analysis VaR, PFE, Inputs for Monte Carlo simulations
18 Implied Volatility Curve Delivery Options Implied Volatility products are delivered by 5pm CST, each business day as follows: Argus FTP site (CSV file) (Excel spreadsheet) most of you received this product over the past day via Third party data provider such as ZE Power, Globalview & LIM (Morningstar)
19 Summary Independently-produced Implied Volatility curves are an integral part of today s energy business Argus brings a wealth of experience using the same rigorous procedures as all other Argus products Argus methodologies are transparent and documented Multiple sources of market data support coverage of both liquid and illiquid markets
