Greater Predictive Power
IvyDB Implied Dividend uses a superior methodology and more accurate model to predict dividend yields with the options market valuation of future dividends over time, versus historical, backward-looking data, used by other providers. IvyDB Implied Dividend’s numerical approach, incorporating binomial tree models to price risk-neutral dividend yields, offers greater accuracy in determining dividends for US options, over put-call parity, which can be prone to systematic bias as a result of the American-style exercise feature.
