Products and Services

• Premium Collection

This strategy involves the fund selling options to collect premiums. By engaging in the sale of call and put options, the fund earns revenue from the option premiums charged to buyers. This approach can be particularly profitable in periods of low market volatility, where the options may expire worthless, allowing the fund to retain the full amount of the premium collected.

• Volatility Trading

Through volatility trading, the fund seeks to profit from fluctuations in the market’s volatility. This can involve hedging existing positions to protect against sudden changes in volatility or outright bets on the direction of volatility. By anticipating increases or decreases in the volatility of the S&P 500, the fund can adjust its positions accordingly, potentially profiting from these movements.

• Trend Following

Utilizing a trend-following strategy, the fund adjusts its balance of puts and calls based on the current market direction or trend. If the market shows a consistent upward or downward trend, the fund may increase its holdings in calls or puts, respectively, to capitalize on the movement. This strategy aims to harness momentum in market trends to generate profits.
