  • Upward trends in oil prices have been

caused by an increased demand from emerging markets, supply fears and political tension in the Middle East

  • While the long-term trend is upwards,

the price is volatile, with numerous short-term corrections and rallies

  • The charts demonstrate how AHL has

captured both long and short

  • pportunities in WTI crude oil over a

number of time horizons and at varying levels of exposure

  • Computer-supported analytical instruments and management information systems
  • Risk monitoring measures and focus areas

– Value-at-risk (VaR) – Stress testing – Implied volatility – Leverage – Margin-to-equity ratios – Net exposures to sectors and different currencies
