In this article we describe a storage valuation method known as the rolling intrinsic strategy, which extends the intrinsic strategy by allowing for regular re-optimisation and rebalancing of the portfolio. This strategy is relatively straightforward to evaluate, with the only additional complication arising from the need to compute the costs of re-adjusting the portfolio.
The rolling intrinsic method is a risk limiting strategy; the strategy never gives a payoff which is lower than the original intrinsic value. These features make the rolling intrinsic methodology well-suited for giving a realistic and prudent estimate of the value of a storage facility.
