US Equity High Volatility Put Write Fund ETF
HVPW-N
BUY
Nov 10, 2014
High volatility put writes 15 to 20% out of the money. 9% yield yearly. It reduces volatility and so is in his sleep and night portfolio. It underperforms in an up market. He is down to a 2% from 5% position as markets have recovered. It is not a growth thing. It is a yield thing.
This takes advantage of high volatility where premiums expand on option writing. Can certainly do very well in providing a high level of income, but he thinks there is a certain amount of time decay that happens over time. So you have to be very careful.
