Modeled returns

Return distributions, not point forecasts

Percentiles describe the spread of scenario outcomes under the stated method. The width of the range carries as much information as the midpoint.

52% of modeled scenarios end positive.

Crude-linked sleeve returns track the official forward price path less roll and holding costs; producer-equity returns combine free cash flow and shareholder yield on normalized oil prices. Supply-disruption risk is carried in the upper tail rather than in the central path.

Three-year path anchored on marginal production cost and structural capacity rather than on the near-term forecast, with producer shareholder yield compounding through the cycle.

The modeled one-year median of 1.5% sits roughly three points below the 4.58% one-year Treasury par yield. Energy's case here is diversification against supply shocks, not expected return.
