Asset Analysis

Real-world models based on trader logic are essential for successful trading. Ours set the standard.

The Challenge: Most models can’t handle real assets with non-standard components and complex optionality.

Our Solution: We build models designed for non-standard terms, embedded options, and how traders manage them

The Result: Accurate valuations, proper risk assessment, and deal insights that improve trading and investment decisions.

Core Capabilities

We cover both structured deals and physical assets:

Structured deals – Custom deals with complex terms, pricing and optionality

Physical assets – Assets like storage, transport, shipping, and refining

Valuation

Realistic, real-world valuations based on how traders monetise assets.

Frameworks: Historic, simulated, and benchmarked.

Breakdowns: Intrinsic and extrinsic. By time, region, deal component

Validation: Back-tested, benchmarked, and fully traceable.

Optionality and Flex

Quantifies the value of flexibility and the likelihood of exercise or key market events.

Decomposition: Individual and combined flex value.

Probability: Likelihood of options and events.

Thresholds: Breakevens and trigger levels.

Risk Profile

Assess value uncertainty, tail risk, and how a deal fits risk–reward requirements.

Distribution: Outcome range, tail risk, and upside/downside skew.

P-levels: Value through time at different probability levels.

Risk metrics: VaR, EaR, and expected shortfall.

Scenario Analysis

Assess the impact of structural or market changes on value and risk.

Market: Price levels, volatility, and market shocks.

Deal structure: Contract terms, optionality, and pricing.

Hedging: Hedge ratios, forward programs, and unhedged vs hedged cases.

Functionality List

1. Deal Value

Understand the full value of a deal under different methods and assumptions.

    • Total, intrinsic, and extrinsic value
    • Simulated and realised outcomes
    • Valuations under historic and future market conditions
    • Option pricing models (e.g. Black, Corrado–Su)
    • Breakdowns by time, component, or unit (e.g. $/MMBTU, %Brent)
    • Hedged vs unhedged views
2. Flex & Optionality Analysis

Identify and quantify the value of flexibility and embedded options.

    • Value by flex term and option type
    • Combined or cross-option effects
    • Trigger points and break-evens
    • Exercise and event probabilities
    • Year-by-year value breakdowns
3. Operational Insights

Support scheduling, delivery, and counterparty decisions.

    • Expected volumes and delivery profiles

    • Physical flow views

    • Counterparty-level exposure

4. Risk & Sensitivity

Quantify uncertainty and understand exposures.

    • P-levels (P95, P50, P5), VaR, EaR

    • Distribution shape and tail risk

    • MTM vs realised outcomes

    • Cashflow impact and timing

    • Sensitivities by price, index, or volume

    • Greeks and value driver analysis

    • Risk ladders and component-based risk views

5. Scenario Analysis

See how value and risk change under different market and contract setups.

    • Base, low, and high price/volatility cases

    • Shock scenarios (e.g. war, outages, disruptions)

    • Regime shifts (e.g. low-vol vs high-vol markets)

    • Contract changes: price formulas, clauses, optionality

    • Index switches (e.g. %Brent → JKM)

    • Hedging scenarios: financial, physical, contractual

    • Partial hedge levels (0%, 25%, 50%) and strategy comparison
