FactSet's implied volatility surface aims to provide an accurate parametrized representation of market implied volatility, allowing results to be calculated for any theoretical strike or maturity. We accomplish this by implementing the eSSVI volatility surface, which is an extension of the well-known SVI parametrization of the volatility smile. By construction, the surface is guaranteed to be free of both calendar spread arbitrage and butterfly arbitrage.
