Contract Types

 

Manage any energy and commodity contract and asset in one solution.

Lacima Analytics is purpose-built to meet the complexities of energy and commodity markets, supporting the unique characteristics of assets and contracts traded within them.

Supports an extensive range of standard energy and commodity contract types, alongside specialised modules for managing the intricacies of more complex contracts and assets including those associated with thermal and renewable power generation, LNG, and gas storage.

With over 80 standard contract templates available, Lacima offers native support for futures, forwards, swaps, European and Asian options, spread options, and more. For non-standard pay-offs, the User-Defined Contracts module provides the flexibility to define and configure bespoke contracts, enabling you to manage any physical asset or financial contract in a single solution.

The platform also supports true cashflow-at-risk and revenue-at-risk analysis, allowing you to enter contracts with invoicing and cash settlement dates to calculate cashflows that include settlement date netting.

Easily manage standard and bespoke energy and commodity contracts with
over 80 templates, or define, analyse, and optimise any bespoke pay-off.
