IvyDB Implied Dividend

Anticipated Dividends Implied by the Options Market

IvyDB Implied Dividend is a comprehensive dataset that utilizes the predictive power of the options market to generate a risk-neutral measure of future dividends. Using pricing data to provide forward-looking dividend projections for optionable single-name securities in the US, IvyDB Implied Dividend gives investment banks, quant strategists, hedge funds, exchanges, equities and derivatives traders accurate dividend projections and greater predictive power for dividends based on the options market’s perception.

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.

Benefits of IvyDB Implied Dividend

  • Assess cross-sectional comparisons across groups (sectors, market cap, etc.)
  • Backtest investment strategies
