Global
Secured Options
GIM believes that investing in a basket of individual securities and/or ETFs (beta) and continuously writing covered calls may outperform the market, provide positive risk-adjusted returns and cushion against downside risk.
Active Options Selection
Focus on options, not an underlying index
Flexible approach
Ability to shift strategy depending on market conditions
May use cash-secured puts when prices are more advantageous than covered calls
We believe additional opportunities to benefit from options price volatility
Quantitative strike comparisons, enhanced by fundamental insight
Leveraging quantitative tools with the discipline of experience
