Afternoon Speedy. In the past Shaun has looked at 20% out of the money puts for up to a third of a years production. When the price hit the all time highs in January we already had enough volume of hedges, though the price was a lot more than 20% otm given the rise.
I think we should expect Shaun to maintain that sort of volume hedging and as the old puts expire, he will probably replace them with higher strikes given the market is higher than when they were originally bought.
Shaun is very conversant with various hedging methods having run the hedge book at Northern Star. I have challenged him in the past about different strategies, and while I am far too modest to say it, he almost knows as much as I do. Almost, but not quite! 😉😀
