Risk-Managed Put Selling
For wealth managers
Parametric’s Risk-Managed Put Selling program aims to capture the volatility risk premium (VRP) by selling put spreads on S&P 500® Index options.
Risk-Managed Put Selling may make sense for investors who seek to increase returns on underlying fixed income portfolios or cash. The strategy has a predefined maximum loss per 28-day period.
