Aspect Price Manager (PM) is a forward curve management solution that supports the global price forecasting
process. It aggregates forward curves and forecasts from all sources into a single database. It incorporates a
knowledge-base of pricing methodologies and supports the end-to-end price forecasting process from traders
entering differentials through to the delivery of prices exported to other systems. AspectPM provides a
framework for calculating, consolidating, archiving and re-distributing forward prices. With AspectPM, traders
can create and consolidate forward curves to feed into AspectCTRM, or other trade and risk management
systems, for MTM calculations and risk analysis. It also manipulates and consolidates data to provide other
derived curves for use internally, and to stress test trading positions.
